Mansfield Park

Well simply fantastic the audiobook and the narration note 10 ... the audio book caught me from the beginning to the end I'm listening again I super recommend my friend who recommended me and it was simply worth investing my money without regret and super RECOMMEND.

I go against everything and everyone and say that Mansfield Park may be my favorite Jane Austen novel. Fanny Price is sent, as a child, to live with her wealthy uncles (the Bertrams) and her four children (Thomas, Edmund, Maria and Julia) in Mansfield Park. The plan was for her to receive a better upbringing than what her parents could give, since besides being poor, they had many children. There she is treated with apathy by all but her cousin Edmund, even being seen as employed by her other aunt, the widow Norris. The story really only begins with the arrival of the attractive and mysterious Crawford brothers: Mary and Henry. They interpreted from London and for that reason they attract the attention and intriguing to all those people of the interior. Throughout the book, both Mary and Henry arouse the love interest of some of the residents of Mansfield Park, causing countless conflicts and parties. Fanny ends up discovering that she loves her cousin Edmund when she realizes that he is hopelessly in love with Mary Crawford, a woman who compared to her, is much more interesting and has a much lesser dowry. Throughout the story ALL the characters are common in some way, some irreversibly. Fanny is disappointed by absolutely everyone and is the only one who remains immovable in what she believes to be right, her greatest feature in my opinion. Even after being mistreated and humiliated in various ways, she still has a complete sense of what she wants and what it is worth, accepting no less (even being severely punished for being a woman who dares to own her own destiny) . Many say that she has no evolution as a character or that she is “boring”, but they do not realize that Mansfield Park is not a story about the evolution of the protagonist (As in “Emma”, another Austen novel), but how she manages to stay true to who she really is, without letting herself be taken by other people. While everyone falls, she remains standing, even being the salvation of several other characters and finally winning their respect for being so provided, without leaving aside her calm and timid nature.
