Love and Friendship
Táto e‑kniha
Isabel’s daughter, Marianne, is naive, flighty and unaware of the first thing about love. Through apprising letters, her mother’s friend, Laura, warns her of the dangers of sensibility and romance. But when Laura receives an unexpected proposal, it seems as though love might have its advantages after all. That is until the family learn about their hasty marriage and each member begins to reject Laura.
The plot is an amusing combination of unlikely coincidences, dramatic fainting fits and confusing twists and turns. Complete with the young writer’s original spelling quirks, this short novel demonstrates Austen’s natural talent and biting wit.
Proudly republished by White Press, this early work is an enlightening read for fans of Jane Austen’s well-known classics.
O autorovi
Jane Austen (1775–1817) was an English author born in Hampshire, England. She’s best-known for her novels in which she critiques 18th century society and displays her characteristically sharp wit. Austen’s most famous works include Sense and Sensibility, 1811, Pride and Prejudice, 1813, and Emma, 1816. Although her works have now been translated and printed in editions across the globe, Austen was relatively unknown during her lifetime, publishing her novels anonymously.
