The Complete Novels of Jane Austen - Jane Austenová
Jane Austen revolutionized the literary romance, using it as a platform from which to address issues of gender politics and class consciousness among the British middle-class of the late eighteenth century. The novels included in this collection from the elegant Knickerbocker Classics series—Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, and Lady Susan—represent all of Austen's complete novels, and provide the reader with an entrance into the world she and her memorable characters inhabited. With witty, unflinching morality, Austen portrays English middle-class life as the eighteenth century came to a close and the nineteenth century began. Austen's heroines find happiness in many forms, each of the novels is a story of love and marriage—marriage for love, financial security, and for social status. In a publishing career that spanned less than ten years, her work brought her little personal fame and only a few positive reviews during her lifetime. It wasn't until the 1940s that she became widely accepted in academia as a great English writer. The second half of the 20th century saw a proliferation of Austen scholarship and the emergence of a fan culture. Austen's works continue to influence the course of the novel even ...

Filled with puns and parodies, the history begins with the reign of Henry IV and concludes with the death of Charles I more than two centuries later. Originally intending it for circulation and performance among family and friends, Jane also commissioned her sister Cassandra to draw illustrations to complement her signature wit and humor. This volume includes an informative introduction providing background context, along with extensive editorial commentary.

Jane Austen and the Price of Happiness - Inger Sigrun Bredkjær Brodey
Do Jane Austen novels truly celebrate—or undermine—romance and happy endings?How did Jane Austen become a cultural icon for fairy-tale endings when her own books end in ways that are rushed, ironic, and reluctant to satisfy readers'' thirst for romance? In Jane Austen and the Price of Happiness, Austen scholar Inger Sigrun Bredkjær Brodey journeys through the iconic novelist''s books in the first full-length study of Austen''s endings. Through a careful exploration of Austen''s own writings and those of the authors she read during her lifetime—as well as recent cultural reception and adaptations of her novels—Brodey examines the contradictions that surround this queen of romance.Brodey argues that Austen''s surprising choices in her endings are an essential aspect of the writer''s own sense of the novel and its purpose. Austen''s fiercely independent and deeply humanistic ideals led her to develop a style of ending all her own. Writing in a culture that set a monetary value on success in marriage and equated matrimony with happiness, Austen questions these cultural norms and makes her readers work for their comic conclusions, carefully anticipating and shaping her readers'' emotional involvement in her novels.

Emma - Jane Austenová - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Od svého prvního vydání roku 1815 je Emma Jane Austenové hrdinkou mnoha dívek a žen, které nechtějí být křehké květinky zmítané okolnostmi. Chtějí si rozhodovat o svém osudu samy, byť za cenu omylů, chyb a zklamání. Příběh o dívce s dobrým srdcem je nadčasovým příběhem o emancipaci a hledání pravých životních hodnot. Jane Austenová (1775-1817) Jane Austenová byla anglická spisovatelka, zakladatelka moderního rodinného románu v anglické literatuře. Narodila se v rodině duchovního. Pro úzký okruh rodiny psala Jane Austenová již od patnácti let krátké prózy, básně i dramatické scény. Nikdy se neprovdala. Její díla vycházela za jejího života anonymně, s jejím jménem byla vydávána až po její smrti. Plného pochopení dosáhla až ve dvacátém století. Nejvíce zaujala Jane Austenová svými romány. Ve většině z nich je ústředním motivem myšlenkové a emociální zrání mladé hrdinky, zkoumá svět z ženského hlediska, vychází ze znalostí lidské povahy. Vytváří ve svých románech životné postavy, nedostatky jejích hrdinů vycházejí především ze špatné rodinné výchovy. Všechny její zápletky se zabývají láskou, i když o ní zřídka přímo hovoří. Tereza Richtrová (1982) se narodila v roce 1982 v Brně. Studovala sólový zpěv na Gymnáziu Pavla Křížkovského s uměleckou profilací a poté činoherní herectví na JAMU. Své ...

Jane Austenová /H+ H/ - Elsemarie Maletzke
Životopis slavné anglické spisovatelky Jane Austenové (1775-1817) vychází v době zvýšeného zájmu o její dílo i díky filmovým přepisům románů Rozum a cit a Pýcha a předsudek. Austenová se narodila v 18. století, čtrnáct let před Francouzskou revolucí, v rodině venkovského pastora a na rodině byla až do své smrti zcela závislá, protože se nikdy neprovdala. Svá mistrovská díla, postihující společenské poměry na venkově i psychologii vystupujících postav, psala tajně. Romány, které vyšly za jejího života, uveřejňovala pod pseudonymem "By a lady". Biografie J. Austenové od německé autorky nasvěcuje život "anglické Jane" , jak ji nazývají Britové, z překvapivých úhlů. Rovněž doba a místo jejího života, které sama Austenová zachycuje tak poutavě, E. Maletzke popisuje nejen zasvěceně, ale i čtivě. Text knihy doplňuje chronologický životopisný přehled, soupis literatury a rejstřík. Elsemarie Maletzke je erudovaná životopiskyně anglických spisovatelek 19. století. Kromě Austenové napsala biografické portréty sester Brntëových (Das Leben des Brontës) a Georgie Eliot.

Pýcha a předsudek - Jane Austenová
Není pochyb o tom, že hrdinkou románu Pýcha a předsudek, Lízinkou, je sama Jane Austenová (1775–1817). Přestože prožila tak typicky nekonfliktní život (nikdy se neprovdala a jediné nabídnutí k sňatku prý během hodiny odmítla), neodráží se v jejím díle žádná osudová hořkost. Zdá se, že se ze své pozice dcery bez věna, a tudíž dívky bez zvláštních šancí na lepší sňatek, spíš nesmírně bavila – asi jako člověk, který v divadle sleduje zábavnou komedii. Přidáním ironického podtextu posunula románovou tvorbu ze sfér naivního realismu o několik generací dopředu. Víc než půldruhého století je doba, která dovedla pohltit stovky literárních děl, jimž se při zrodu prorokovala nesmrtelnost; a byla to díla s daleko efektnějšími a vzrušivějšími náměty než Pýcha a předsudek. Jemné kouzlo Jane Austenové má svůj stálý vděčný okruh čtenářů a každá nová generace autorčin odkaz objevuje po svém, v nových barevných odstínech a v novém lesku.

Opatství Northanger - Jane Austenová - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Sedmnáctiletá venkovská dívka Catherine se na pár týdnů dostane do velkého světa, který zná jen z románů. Vtipem nabitý text paroduje dobově populární gotické romány. Protože ho nejdříve vydavatel odmítl, vyšel až rok po autorčině smrti... Hlavní hrdinka románu 17letá dívka Catherine se díky rodinným přátelům na čas dostává do lázeňského města Bath. Poklidný venkov přitom mladá dáma opouští poprvé. Nesentimentálnost, odstup, ironie či schopnost rozvíjet zápletku a utvářet životaschopné dialogy jsou dodnes odzbrojující. Také díky nim patří Jane Austenová pořád mezi nejčtenější a nejznámější ženské spisovatelky. A to nejen na britských ostrovech.

Pýcha a přemlouvání - Jane Austenová
"První moderní anglická autorka" - "Mladší sestra Shakespearova" - to jsou jen dva z mnoha lichotivých atributů, jimiž obdivovatelé vzdávají hold autorce, která už víc jak dvě století poutá neutuchající lásku vděčných čtenářů. Austenová žila v době, kdy v literatuře vládl romantismus, bouřlivé city, temné tragično, přemíra sentimentu, jí však bylo dáno hravé, ironicky laděné, komické vidění okolního světa, smysl pro mravní hodnoty, schopnost vidět lidem až na dno duše, a k tomu suverénní vypravěčský talent. "Píšu o lásce a penězích, o čem jiném lze taky vůbec psát?" podotkla kdysi. A láska ve svých proměnlivých podobách, věrná i zrazující, ztracená i znovunalezená, sebestředná i obětavá, provází jemnou Annu, popelku v rodině pošetilého, ješitného baroneta, a nejedné zkoušce je její citlivá duše vystavena, než ona i všichni kolem ní dohrají svou lidskou komedii. Román, který jsme nazvali "Pýcha a přemlouvání" vyšel posmrtně v roce 1818 pod názvem "Persuasion."

Láska a přátelství - Jane Austenová
Láska a přátelství, novela v dopisech, bývá občas zaměňována s obdobným dílem Jane Austenové: s Lady Susan. Přispívá k tomu nejen stejná literární forma, ale také film Láska a přátelství, který navzdory názvu vychází právě z Lady Susan. "Naše" kniha, tedy Láska a přátelství, je však samostatným dílkem světoznámé autorky, pozoruhodným už tím, že je psala mezi jedenáctým a čtrnáctým rokem svého věku. Snad právě díky mládí, které bývá bezohledné, se v něm vysmála mnohým klišé romantické literatury: jmenujme jen "scény plné omdlévání", "nečekaná zjevení dosud neznámých příbuzných", "vznešené city versus přízemní realita" či "povinný odpor proti rodičovskému despotismu". Nad tím vším se vznáší nepřekonatelná ironie Jane Austenové, její břitký humor - ale také city, vášeň a láska, byť podané tak, že občas nevíme, zda se smát, či plakat. Smích je každopádně na místě, vždyť autorka psala tyto fiktivní dopisy pro pobavení rodinného kruhu; i tak ale budete líčení krásné, nesnázemi stíhané Laury číst se zatajeným dechem a neubráníte se obdivu vůči vypravěčským schopnostem mladinké Jane, která se později stala jednou z nejoblíbenějších a nejuznávanějších spisovatelek všech dob.

When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

Emma - Jane Austenová
Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, rich - and fiercely independent - is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others.Emma, first published in 1816, was written when Jane Austen was at the height of her powers. In a novel remarkable for its sparkling wit and modernity, Austen presents readers with two of literature's greatest comic creations--the eccentric Mr. Woodhouse and that quintessential bore, Miss Bates. Here, too, we have what may well be Jane Austen's most profound characterization: the witty, imaginative, self-deluded Emma, a heroine the author declared "no one but myself will much like," but who has been much loved by generations of readers. Delightfully funny, full of rich irony, Emma is regarded as one of Jane Austen's finest achievements.

Lady Susan, The Watsons, and Sanditon - Jane Austenová
'I am tired of submitting my will to the caprices of others-of resigning my own judgement in deference to those to whom I owe no duty, and for whom I feel no respect.'The unfinished fictions collected here are the novels and other writing that Jane Austen did not publish. The protagonist of the earliest story is Lady Susan, a sexual predator and a brilliant and manipulative sociopath. The Watsons, a tale of riches to rags, is set in a village deep in mud and misery where the Watson sisters waste away, day after dull day, waiting for the suitors who never appear.Sanditon, the novel interrupted by the author's death, is a topical satire onthe niche marketing campaign waged by investors in the latest seaside resort, the fictional Sanditon, situated on England's over-supplied south coast. If The Watsons shares the disturbed life of a Chekhov short story, Sanditon's cast of eccentrics anticipates the zany world of Dickens. Experimental and sharp-elbowed,all three probe new areas of invention and push out beyond what we expect to find in a novel by Jane Austen.This edition collects together all Austen's unpublished adult fiction, poetry, and related writings, written in her late teens, in her late ...
