"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's classic novel of manners and mores in early-nineteenth-century England. As the Bennets prepare their five grown daughters to enter into society, each shows personality traits that illuminate their future prospects as wives. Jane, the oldest, is the most demure and traditional, and Lydia, the youngest, the most headstrong and impulsive. Attention centers on haughty second-born Elizabeth, and her blossoming relationship with the dashing but aloof Fitzwilliam Darcy. Adversaries at first in the endless rounds of balls, parties, and social gatherings, they soon develop a grudging respect for one another that blossoms into romance when each comes to appreciate the tender feelings that course beneath the veneer of their propriety and reserve. First published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice is one of the most popular novels in English literature and a cornerstone of Jane Austen's reputation as one of the greatest novelists of all time. This volume is one of Barnes & Noble's Collectible Editions classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an exquisitely designed foil-stamped binding, with distinctive colored edging and an attractive ribbon bookmark.

eBook: Lord Glenthorn is bored and lacking oomph. But before you feel sorry for him, it is worth knowing that he has a pile of money, a grand title, estates in England and Ireland and no stress. That is until he finds out he is not Lord Glenthorn, the Anglo-Irish earl. He is in fact the peasant Christy O\'Donoghoe, which is a fly in the ointment for his efforts to provide for the woman he loves. At the same time, he gets caught up in the violent Irish Rebellion of 1798. Can he shake off the ennui, become a self-made man and win the hand of his love? Those who enjoy Jane Austen\'s novels, including \'Persuasion\', \'Sense and Sensibility\', and \'Pride and Prejudice\', will love \'Ennui\'. Like Austen, Maria Edgeworth has a gift for gently exposing the hypocrisy and accidental comedy of Britain\'s 19th century upper-middle class. First published in 1809, \'Ennui\' is a didactic novel, which means it aims to teach the reader a moral lesson - like \'Aesop\'s Fables\'. The Irish writer Maria Edgeworth (1768-1849) was highly regarded in her day as a pioneer of early 19th century fiction and children\'s literature. A friend of the novelist Sir Walter Scott (\'Ivanhoe\', \'Rob Roy\'), she was active and vocal about political and estate reform. Today, she is rather underappreciated - and overshadowed - by other 19th century satirical novelists like Jane Austen and Anthony Trollope. A prolific writer, Edgeworth\'s best-known works include \'Ennui\', \'The Dun\' and \'Belinda\', which was controversial in its day for featuring inter-racial marriage. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The stunning Emma special edition features sprayed edges, color end pages, a built-in ribbon bookmark, and embossed foil cover. The beautiful design and attention to detail set this special edition book apart, whether you’re reading for the first time or building a library of your favorite classic literature books. Handsome, clever, and rich, Emma Woodhouse delights in interfering in the romantic lives of others.But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée, Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. Though not widely recognized during her lifetime, Jane Austen has become one of England's most renowned novelists.Born in 1775, Austen lived a quiet life and began writing in her youth, though she did not publish until 1811 with the anonymous release of Sense and Sensibility. This was followed by three novels before her death in 1817: Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816). Austen is known for her satirical portraits of social customs and marriage rituals, though she wrote during the passionate Romantic period.Some view her as aligned with earlier eighteenth-century ideals of reason and propriety. However, her witty heroines also reflect an emerging feminism and intelligence that contrasted with women's confined roles. While her endings espouse marriage, novels like Emma provoke questions about women's fulfillment and Austen's own views.Through her rich domestic portraits and investigations of social mores, Austen captured the constrictions on women's lives with insight that still resonates centuries later.

První latinskoamerický papež v dějinách svou snahou vytvořit vstřícnější a pozornější církev, která by se lidským problémům věnovala s důrazem na Boží milosrdenství, vyvolal u některých lidí intenzivní strach, že se podřizuje modernímu světu a ničí tradici. František, který na jedné straně čelí vzpourám kvůli svému přístupu k rozvedeným katolíkům a obavám z otázek, jako je migrace a změna klimatu, i bouři kritiky kvůli postupu církve v oblasti pohlavního zneužívání, se na straně druhé ukazuje jako vůdce s pozoruhodnou vizí a schopnostmi, neúnavně zaměřený na duchovní cíle – jako vůdce, který i uprostřed všudypřítomného zmatku zůstává klidný. Kniha barvitě a s nadhledem vykresluje portrét papeže Františka a uvádí nás do turbulencí vyvolaných jeho dalekosáhlými změnami. Ivereighova cesta po klíčových okamžicích Františkovy reformy v Římě a v celé církvi využívá zábavných historek, svědectví přímých účastníků i odborných analýz, aby vrhla světlo na frustraci a zuřivost, ale také radosti a úspěchy, které provázejí jeden z nejpozoruhodnějších pontifikátů současnosti.

eBook: In time for the highly-awaited TV series, a new edition of Jane Austen\'s delightful final work, set in a newly established seaside resort with a glorious cast of hypochondriacs and speculatorsIn the final months of Jane Austen\'s life, she began work on a new novel about social drama in the small seaside town of Sanditon, once a small fishing village and now a bustling spa town. In the story of Charlotte Heywood, a new arrival, Austen she contemplated a changing society with a mixture of skepticism and amusement, and notably crafted her only character of color in the mixed-race heiress Miss Lambe. Though unfinished at the time of her death, it is a key work for readers of Jane Austen, and all the moreso with a major upcoming TV adaptation. This volume includes Sanditon, as well as two other lesser-known works, Lady Susan and The Watsons. The early epistolary novel Lady Susan depicts an unscrupulous coquette, toying with several men. And The Watsons is a delightful fragment, whose spirited heroine, Emma, finds her marriage opportunities restricted by poverty and pride. With three vital and less familiar works by one of the most important novelists in the English language, this book is a must-have for Austen fans. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
