Produktbeschreibung

Catherine Morland's introduction to fashionable society exposes her to horror, crime, and romance. Jane Austen's first novel parodies the popular gothic novels of the time and reveals a youthful imagination in her early work. Set in one of England's most beautiful and historical cities, Bath, Northanger Abbey explores the trivialities and imaginings of a young lady as she is introduced to society. Catherine Morland is an impressionable girl with a fondness for gothic novels and tales of romance. Join her as she explores a new city and loses her heart to the Tilneys' family home, Northanger Abbey. But as Catherine discovers a new world, her vivid imagination begins to get the better of her and soon she is convinced that the grand home is the keeper of many dark secrets. Published posthumously, this seminal work from Jane Austen is rife with her famous wit and humour. An ideal short read for fans of classic English literature.

Autorenporträt

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English author born in Hampshire, England. She's best-known for her novels in which she critiques eighteenth-century society and displays her characteristically sharp wit. Austen's most famous works include 'Sense and Sensibility' (1811), 'Pride and Prejudice' 1813, and 'Emma' (1816). Although her works have now been translated and printed in editions across the globe, Austen was relatively unknown during her lifetime, publishing her novels anonymously.
