Northanger Abbey
This title comes with an introduction by P.D. James. The Vintage Classics Austen series is designed by the writer and illustrator Leanne Shapton and introduced by some of our finest contemporary writers and Austen fans: Alexander McCall Smith, Lynne Truss, Amanda Vickery, Francesca Segal, P.D. James and Andrew Motion. "Jane Austen is a genius, and Northanger Abbey is hugely underrated". (Martin Amis). Catherine Morland is a young girl with a very active imagination. Her naivety and love of sensational novels lead her to approach the fashionable social scene in Bath and her stay at nearby Northanger Abbey with preconceptions that have embarrassing and entertaining consequences.
Northanger Abbey
A witty exploration of the perils of mistaking fiction for reality, Jane Austen's "Northanger Abbey" is edited with an introduction and notes by Marylin Butler in "Penguin Classics". During an eventful season at Bath, young, naive Catherine Morland experiences the joys of fashionable society for the first time. She is delighted with her new acquaintances: rude, boorish John Thorpe, his flirtatious sister Isabella, who shares Catherine's love of sensational novels and intrigue, and sophisticated Eleanor and Henry Tilney, who invite her to their father's mysterious house, Northanger Abbey. There, her imagination, influenced by Gothic romances, such as Ann Radcliffe's "The Mysteries of Udolpho", Catherine imagines terrible crimes committed by General Tilney. With its broad comedy and irrepressible, impressionable heroine, this is the most youthful and optimistic of Jane Austen's works. The "Penguin Classics" edition of "Northanger Abbey" is based on the first edition of 1818, and includes a chronology and additional suggestions for further reading. Jane Austen (1775-1817) was extremely modest about her own genius but has become one of English literature's most famous women writers. Austen began writing at a young age, embarking on what is possibly her best-known work, "Pride and Prejudice", at the age of 22. She was the author of "Sense and Sensibility", "Pride and Prejudice", "Emma", "Persuasion", "Mansfield Park" and "Northanger Abbey". If you enjoyed "Northanger Abbey", you may like Ann Radcliffe's "The Mysteries of Udolpho", also available in "Penguin Classics". "The most perfect artist among women, the writer whose books are immortal". (Virginia Woolf). "These modern editions are to be strongly recommended for their scrupulous texts, informative notes and helpful introductions". (Brian Southam, The Jane Austen Society).

Northanger Abbey
A modern re-imagining of the Gothic Classic Northanger Abbey by the bestselling crime author Val McDermid. The second book in The Austen Project. Seventeen-year-old Catherine 'Cat' Morland has led a sheltered existence in rural Dorset, a life entirely bereft of the romance and excitement for which she yearns. So when Cat's wealthy neighbours, the Allens, invite her to Edinburgh Festival, she is sure adventure beckons. Edinburgh initially offers no such thrills: Susie Allen is obsessed by shopping, Andrew Allen by the Fringe. A Highland Dance class, though, brings Cat a new acquaintance: Henry Tilney, a pale, dark-eyed gentleman whose family home, Northanger Abbey, sounds perfectly thrilling. And an introduction to Bella Thorpe, who shares her passion for supernatural novels, provides Cat with a like-minded friend. But with Bella comes her brother John, an obnoxious banker whose vulgar behaviour seems designed to thwart Cat's growing fondness for Henry. Happily, rescue is at hand. The rigidly formal General Tilney invites her to stay at Northanger with son Henry and daughter Eleanor. Cat's imagination runs riot: an ancient abbey, crumbling turrets, secret chambers, ghosts...and Henry! What could be more deliciously romantic? But Cat gets far more than she bargained for in this isolated corner of the Scottish Borders. The real world outside the pages of a novel proves to be altogether more disturbing than the imagined world within...

Northanger Abbey
Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775. She was an English novelist who wrote numerous works of romantic fiction. Ms. Austen has millions of adoring fans all around the world and she is one of the most beloved writers in all of English literature.Many people may be surprised to learn that Jane Austen only published six novels. However, these works have become the foundation for the true romantic novel ever since they found their way to the world early in the 19th century.An early version of this book was written under the title “Susan”. It was actually the first of Jane Austen's novels sold to a publisher who then advertised it as forthcoming, but never issued it. Jane Austen had the manuscript brought back more than ten years later, after several of her other novels had been published. She apparently made some revisions, but finally "put it on the shelf.” It was only after her death in 1817 that her brother Henry finally had it published (together with Persuasion). The title "Northanger Abbey" was not chosen by Jane Austen (she referred to the book in her letter as "Miss Catherine".

A klastrom titka
Az alig tizenhét esztendős, naiv, ábrándos Catherine még úgy képzeli, hogy az élet éppen olyan csodálatos kalandok sorozata, amilyenekről kedvenc regényeiben olvasott. Ismerősei meghívják magukkal Bath városába, hogy bevezessék a nagyvilági társaságba, és a bálok, színházak forgatagában nemsokára több vonzó fiatalemberrel is megismerkedik. S amikor egy kedves barátnője családja meginvitálja ősi fészkébe, a Northanger Klastromba, a vonzalmak szálai csak egyre kuszábbak lesznek...
Vajon ráébred-e Catherine, ki vonzódik hozzá tiszta szívből? Kizökken-e regényes ábrándjaiból, képzelgéseiből, mielőtt túl késő lenne?
Szövevényes szerelmi bonyodalmak, kíméletlen női intrika és hol vérfagyasztóan félelmetes, hol bájosan ártatlan vidéki kaland ez a regény, Jane Austen legtöbbet olvasott, világszerte népszerű műve.
Lacná kniha Sense & Sensibility (-50%)
Joanna Trollope's much-anticipated contemporary reworking of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility will launch The Austen Project and be one of the most talked about books of 2013. 'It's hugely exciting to attempt the reworking of one of the best novels written by one of our greatest novelists. This is a project which requires consummate respect above all else; not an emulation, but a tribute.' Joanna Trollope The Austen Project is a major new series of six novels teaming up authors of global literary significance with Jane Austen's six complete works. The pairing of Joanna Trollope and Jane Austen received global coverage, from the NEW YORK TIMES to the TIMES OF INDIA. The Austen Project continues with Val McDermid's reworking of Northanger Abbey in Spring 2014 and Curtis Sittenfeld's Pride and Prejudice in Autumn 2014.

Sídlo Mansfield
Román Jane Austenovej nás privádza do Anglicka 18. storočia. Dvanásťročná Fanny Priceová opúšťa svoj chudobný domov a odchádza na panstvo bohatých príbuzných s názvom Mansfield Park. Tam vyrastá u Sira Thomasa Bertrama s jeho dvoma dcérami a synom Edmundom. Pomaly dospieva a začína sa o ňu uchádzať Henry Crawford. Hoci ju srdce ťahá inam, Sir Thomas, ktorého bohatstvo je založené na utrpení čiernych otrokov, jej radí, aby si Crawforda vzala. Poslúchne napokon jeho radu, alebo sa jej život začne uberať celkom iným smerom?
Večer a ráno (Pred ságou Piliere zeme)
Píše sa rok 997 a éra temného stredoveku sa pomaly chýli ku koncu. Chaotické a nestabilné Anglicko čelí útokom Walesanov na západe a Vikingov na východe. Mocní svojvoľne ohýbajú spravodlivosť bez ohľadu na obyčajných ľudí a často sú v konflikte s kráľom. Bez jasného právneho štátu vládne v krajine chaos.
V týchto nepokojných časoch sa osudy troch postáv navzájom prepoja. Život mladého staviteľa lodí sa obráti naruby, keď jediný dom, ktorý kedy poznal, prepadnú Vikingovia a prinútia ho, aby sa s celou rodinou presťahoval a začal nový život v malej dedinke... Normandská šľachtičná sa vydáva z lásky a nasleduje svojho manžela za more do novej krajiny, ale zvyky v jeho domovskej krajine sú šokujúco odlišné. Jasne si uvedomuje, že všetci okolo nej nemilosrdne bojujú o moc. Jediný prešľap môže mať katastrofálne následky... Mních sníva o premene svojho skromného opátstva na centrum vzdelávania, ktoré môže získať obdiv celej Európy. No všetci traja sa dostanú do nebezpečného konfliktu so šikovným a bezohľadným biskupom - a ten robí všetko pre to, aby zväčšil svoje bohatstvo a moc.
Pred tridsiatimi rokmi vydal Ken Follett čitateľsky najobľúbenejší aj najúspešnejší román Piliere zeme. Jeho nový majstrovský román Večer a ráno zavedie čitateľa na epickú cestu do historickej minulosti bohatej na ambície a súperenie, smrť a zrodenie, lásku a nenávisť, a to všetko končí práve tam, kde sa začína dej Pilierov zeme.

Meno ruže
November 1327. Mladý mních Adso prichádza so svojím učiteľom Viliamom z Baskervillu do opátstva v severnom Taliansku, kde sa majú zúčastniť na učenej dišpute katolíckej cirkvi. Viliam má františkánom pripraviť pôdu na rozhovory s pápežom Jánom XXII. Jeho chúlostivú misiu však zatieni bizarná séria siedmich úmrtí mníchov - Viliam sa ako bývalý inkvizítor ujíma prípadu a začne pátrať po vrahovi. Pri vyšetrovaní sa riadi aristotelovskou logikou, teóriami Tomáša Akvinského a poznatkami Rogera Bacona - zbiera dôkazy, dešifruje tajné symboly, hľadá staré rukopisy a blúdi labyrintom opátstva, kde sa "to najzaujímavejšie deje v noci".
