Northanger Abbey (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

At seventeen, Catherine Morland is invited to accompany the Allens to Bath for the winter season. In Bath, Catherine meets and befriends the Tilneys and the Thorpes. Through her relationships with these families, Catherine learns the true value of love and friendship, as Henry Tilney and John Thorpe vie for her affections and the true character of her friend, Isabella, is revealed.

Although it was the first of Jane Austen's novels to be completed for publication, Northanger Abbey was not published until after the author's death in 1817. It had previously been sold to a London bookseller in 1803 who had decided not to publish the work. Austen's brother re-purchased Northanger Abbey in 1817, at which point it was revised and published at the end of that year.

Autorenporträt

Born in 1775, Jane Austen published four of her six novels anonymously. Her work was not widely read until the late nineteenth century, and her fame grew from then on. Known for her wit and sharp insight into social conventions, her novels about love, relationships, and society are more popular year after year. She has earned a place in history as one of the most cherished writers of English literature.
