The dour, Mr. Darcy is anything but popular with the Bennets, especially when he fancies a member of their clan. And as Elizabeth reluctantly deals with Mr. Darcy’s advances, their romance seems destined to fail. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice set the standard for romantic comedies when it debuted in 1813, and it still speaks to audiences worldwide through countless adaptations.

A collection of BBC radio full-cast dramatisations of Jane Austen's six major novels. Jane Austen is one of the finest writers in the English language, and this volume includes all six of her classic novels. Mansfield Park: on a quest to find a position in society, Fanny Price goes to live with her rich aunt and uncle. Northanger Abbey: young, naïve Catherine Morland receives an invitation to stay at the isolated Gothic mansion Northanger Abbey.

Mansfield Park, lieu de vie de la famille du baronnet Sir Thomas Bertram, qui en est, en quelque sorte, le personnage central. Fanny Price, la petite cousine pauvre accueillie par charité, devra d'abord apprendre à s'y sentir chez elle avant d'en devenir finalement la conscience morale.

One of Jane Austen's most complex and mature works, Mansfield Park shows the writer at the top of her form, tackling the manners and customs of early 19th-century society with wit and irony that still resonate with readers two centuries after the book's initial publication. Flo Gibson's compelling narration gives perfect voice to the trials and tribulations of Fanny Price, sent at a young age to live with her rich relations.

Questo terzo romanzo della Austen, che viene dopo "Ragione e sentimento" e "Orgoglio e pregiudizio", fu pubblicato nel 1814 ed ebbe subito un grande successo di pubblico, pur essendo stato pubblicato a spese dell'autrice (che continuava a mantenere l'anonimato). La Austen continua nella sua analisi apparentemente distaccata delle dinamiche familiari e della società rispetto all'importanza del denaro nelle scelte matrimoniali.

Obra maestra de la narrativa del siglo XIX y una de las grandes novelas de Jane Austen, Emma cuenta la historia de una inteligente y laboriosa joven empeñada en hacer de celestina de todas sus amistades. Cuando su institutriz, amiga y confidente decide contraer matrimonio, Emma Woodhouse se queda sola con sus propios sentimientos y se enfrenta al vacío de su vida y a la penosa tarea de intentar que los demás lleven una vida tan perfecta como la suya.

Sus protagonistas las jóvenes hermanas Dashwood, quienes, desde caracteres contrapuestos, comparten el mismo afán por la búsqueda de la felicidad. Elinor, tranquila y paciente, confía en salvar con su discreción los obstáculos que impiden su relación con Edward Ferrars. Impetuosa y extravertida, Marianne, por el contrario, no duda en dejarse conquistar por el seductor Willoughby.

Mansfield Park was Jane Austen’s third novel, and is often stated to be her most mature. The complex love entanglements, mature situations, and familial drama are common in Austen’s literature, but Mansfield Park is one of the most complex of her novels. The book has been lauded for its challenging of the conservative values of the age, and for its masterful artistry which cleverly disguises the social commentary within.

Elinor and Marianne Dashwood have very different ideas about love. Marianne wants to be swept off her feet. Her sensible sister Elinor's feet are always firmly on the ground. But when their father dies and they are forced to move to a new home, will there even be room for love at all?

"Husets prakt förbluffade henne men skänkte ingen tröst. Rummen var alldeles för stora för att hon skulle våga röra sig fritt i dem; hon trodde att hon skulle ha sönder allt hon rörde vid och hon smög omkring i ständig fruktan för ett eller annat; ofta drog hon sig undan till sitt eget rum för att gråta; och den lilla flickan, om vilken det sades i salongen när hon hade lämnat den på kvällen att hon verkade så medveten om sin enastående goda tur som man kunde önska, avrundade varje dags sorger med att snyfta sig till sömns."

Anne Elliot has grieved for seven years over the loss of her first love, Captain Frederick Wentworth. But events conspire to unravel the knots of deceit and misunderstanding in this beguiling and gently comic story of love and fidelity.

Knightley et les Weston viennent fréquemment leur rendre visite, ce qui est toujours l’occasion de longues conversations à deux avec M. Knightley.

The backbone of Mansfield Park is based around the marriages of sisters Lady Bertram, Mrs. Norris, and Mrs. Price. Each of these sisters marries a man from a different social class. Lady Bertram marries an extremely wealthy baronet, Sir Thomas Bertram; Mrs. Norris marries a clergyman who makes a decent living; and Mrs. Price marries a naval lieutenant who is injured shortly after they marry, causing his career to end with living in poverty.
