À propos de cet e-book
Step into the captivating world of "Northanger Abbey," a novel that offers a delightful satire on the popular Gothic novel genre of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Written by Jane Austen, the novel follows the story of Catherine Morland, an innocent and imaginative young woman from a rural family, who is invited to spend some time in Bath, a fashionable spa town in England, and later to visit the grand estate of Northanger Abbey. As Catherine navigates the treacherous social waters of Bath, she meets a variety of charming and fascinating characters, including the handsome Henry Tilney, his stern father General Tilney, and the flighty and manipulative Isabella Thorpe. Catherine's naivety and her love of gothic novels, particularly Ann Radcliffe's "The Mysteries of Udolpho," leads her to imagine dark secrets and sinister plots behind the grandeur of Northanger Abbey, and to suspect Henry's father of being a villain. Full of humor, wit, and Austen's trademark irony, "Northanger Abbey" is a brilliant parody of the gothic novel, but also a compelling love story and a profound commentary on the importance of honesty and self-knowledge. Austen's sharp observations on the manners and morals of the English upper class, as well as her sympathetic portrayal of Catherine's struggles to find her place in society and to differentiate between reality and fiction, make this novel a timeless classic. So, join us for a journey into a world of romance, intrigue, and hilarity that will leave you thoroughly satisfied. Whether you're a fan of Jane Austen's other works or new to her world, "Northanger Abbey" is a novel that will enchant and delight you, and will stay with you long after you turn the final page.
