Jane Austen

Northanger Abbey

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A magnificently engaging story about growing up, Northanger Abbey is frequently alluded to as Jane Austen's "Gothic parody." Decrepit palaces, locked rooms, secretive chests, mysterious notes, and overbearing dads give the story an uncanny air, yet one with a strongly mocking turn.The story's far-fetched female protagonist is Catherine Morland, a naive seventeen-year-old girl from a nation parsonage. While putting in half a month in Bath with a family companion, Catherine meets and experiences passionate feelings for Henry Tilney, who welcomes her to visit his family home, Northanger Abbey. When there, Catherine, an incredible per user of Gothic thrill rides, lets the shadowy environment of the old house fill her brain with horrible doubts. What is the secret encompassing the passing of Henry's mom? Is the family disguising awful confidentiality inside the rich rooms of the Abbey? Might she at any point trust Henry, or would he say he is essential for an insidious trick? Catherine tracks down horrendous signs on the most mundane occasions until Henry convinces her to see the risk in mistaking life for craftsmanship.Executed with cheerful energy, Northanger Abbey is a carefree, yet unsentimental discourse on adoration and marriage.

Autorenporträt

Jane Austen (1775 - 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favorable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism.With the publications of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1815), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1818, and began a third, eventually titled Sanditon, but died before its completion. Her novels have rarely been out of print, although they were published anonymously and brought her little fame during her lifetime. A significant transition in her posthumous reputation occurred in 1869, fifty-two years after her death, when her nephew's publication of A Memoir of Jane Austen introduced her to a wider audience.
