6 Volume Jane Austen SetThis is a brand new textured soft leather feel (feels like bonded leather with stamps of relevant words) 6 Volume Jane Austen Set.
This set includes:
Pride and Prejudice
First published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice is one of the most popular and beloved British novels of all-time, maintaining its allure for contemporary readers everywhere and selling millions of copies worldwide!
Jane Austen’s novel tells the story of the five unmarried Bennet sisters, daughters of a humble country squire, as they deal with the issues of marriage, manners, and upbringing in English country life.
Emma
A lively young heiress takes up matchmaking, and her schemes result in comic confusion for a social-climbing parson, a chatterbox spinster, an enigmatic Romeo, and other inhabiatants of a 19th-century English village.
Sparkling comedy of provincial manners concerns a well-intentioned young heiress and her matchmaking schemes that result in comic confusion for the inhabitants of a 19th-century English village.
Droll characterizations of the well-intentioned heroine-one of Austen's immortal creations-and her hypochondriacal father-plus many other finely drawn personalities.
This sparkling satire of provincial life is one of Jane Austen's finest novels.
Northanger Abbey
Northanger Abbey, Austen's first novel completed for publication, tells the story of seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland, a passionate and headstrong young woman with a fondness for Gothic novels.
Away from home for the first time in her life, and with only her reading to guide her, Catherine finds herself suddenly thrown into the adult world-a world bristling with possible intrigue, romance, and suspense.
Northanger Abbey can be enjoyed as a parody of the Gothic romance novels in vogue at the time Austen began her own writing career.
Or it can be savored as a delightful comedy of manners and a cautionary tale.
For in the education of Catherine Morland, the novel explores the mercurial relationship between appearance and reality, literature and life-and in the process raises questions about its own fictionality.
Mansfield Park
When the gorgeous Henry Crawford and his pretty sister, Mary, come to Mansfield, they have no idea of the commotion they will cause.
There they find the Bertram family, with their beautiful daughters and handsome sons-and our heroine, shy and sweet Fanny Price.
As the inhabitants of Mansfield Park become ever more involved with the Crawfords, a scandal of devastating proportions begins to unfold.
Sense and Sensibility
One of Jane Austen's most beloved novels, brought to life in a sparkling dramatization!
When Mr. Dashwood dies, he must leave the bulk of his estate to the son by his first marriage, which leaves his second wife and three daughters (Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret) in straitened circumstances.
They are taken in by a kindly cousin, but their lack of fortune affects the marriageability of both practical Elinor and romantic Marianne.
When Elinor forms an attachment for the wealthy Edward Ferrars, his family disapproves and separates them.
And though Mrs. Jennings tries to match the worthy (and rich) Colonel Brandon to her, Marianne finds the dashing and fiery Willoughby more to her taste.
Both relationships are sorely tried.
But this is a romance, and through the hardships and heartbreak, true love and a happy ending will find their way for both the sister who is all sense and the one who is all sensibility.
Persuasion
Twenty-seven-year old Anne Elliot is Austen's most adult heroine.
Eight years before the story proper begins, she is happily betrothed to a naval officer, Frederick Wentworth, but she precipitously breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy.
The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret.
When later Wentworth returns from sea a rich and successful captain, he finds Anne's family on the brink of financial ruin and his own sister a tenant in Kellynch Hall, the Elliot estate.
Al the tension of the novel revolves around one question: Will Anne and Wentworth be reunited in their love? Jane Austin once compared her writing to painting on a little bit of ivory, 2 inches square. Readers of Persuasion will discover that neither her skill for delicate, ironic observations on social custom, love, and marriage nor her ability to apply a sharp focus lens to English manners and morals has deserted her in her final finished work.
