The Jane Austen Collection

Autor Jane Austen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 feb 2021

Observăm adesea cum universul creat de Jane Austen rezistă timpului nu doar prin profunzimea observației sociale, ci și prin capacitatea de a fi reinterpretat vizual pentru fiecare nouă generație. Provocarea centrală a acestei colecții este reconcilierea spiritului critic al secolului al XIX-lea cu o estetică modernă, vibrantă. Suntem de părere că acest set reușește să transforme lectura clasică într-o experiență tactilă și vizuală remarcabilă, propunând o cromatică neon-pastel care contrastează elegant cu rigoarea pânzei de legătorie. Pe același raft cu Jane Austen Boxed Set de Jane Austen din seria Word Cloud Classics, această ediție publicată de Arcturus Publishing se distinge prin prospețimea designului grafic și prin utilizarea embosării, oferind o identitate vizuală unitară celor șase romane fundamentale. Ritmul narativ al lui Austen, marcat de ironie fină și dialoguri sclipitoare, este susținut aici de o prezentare editorială care invită la colecționare. Credem că această abordare face textele mai accesibile cititorilor tineri, fără a sacrifica integritatea operelor neabreviate. De la dilemele morale din „Mansfield Park” până la maturitatea melancolică din „Persuasion”, fiecare volum beneficiază de o atenție deosebită acordată detaliilor tehnice, precum gardurile colorate asortate, care transformă obiectul de cult într-o prezență luminoasă în orice bibliotecă personală.

De ce să citești această carte

Descriere scurtă

"Pride and Prejudice": an elegant tableau revolving around the five Bennett daughters, including clever, strong-spirited Elizabeth. Austen's masterpiece is a study of love, loss and snobbery. "Sense and Sensibility": the engaging story of sisters Elinor and Marianne, whose lives are turned upside down when they are left almost penniless following the death of their father.

Two men with whom the sisters form attachments present more unforeseen challenges along the way. "Emma": Emma is an exquisitely crafted social portrait of late Eighteenth-century society, widely considered to be Austen's most literarily accomplished work. Emma Woodhouse, self-appointed meddling matchmaker, stands to lose out on love herself if she isn't careful.

"Persuasion": in part autobiographical, Persuasion has a quieter sense of humour, and takes a more serious tone, than some of Austen's other novels. Anne Elliot is revisited by her ex-fiancee, coinciding with a downturn in her family's fortunes, and has some choices to make. "Northanger Abbey": young and susceptible, Catherine Morland expects dark secrets and many dangers to be lurking in the hidden recesses of Northanger Abbey.

In fact, the real obstacles lying in her path are more mundane but just as serious as her imagined horrors. The collection also includes 2 Bonus CDs including "The Watsons", an early Austen short story, and a collection of letters. Titles read by highly-acclaimed British actresses including Anna Massey, Harriet Walter and Joanna Lumley.

Notă biografică

Jane Austen was born in 1775 in rural Hampshire, the daughter of an affluent village rector who encouraged her in her artistic pursuits. In novels such as Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma she developed her subtle analysis of contemporary life through depictions of the middle classes in small towns. Her sharp wit and incisive portraits of ordinary people have given her novels enduring popularity. She died in 1817.
