No Indignity So Abhorrent

“Assistance is impossible; condolence, insufferable. Let them triumph over us at a distance, and be satisfied.” In a world where a single misstep by a woman is injurious to all her family, the Bennets of Longbourn finds themselves shunned and despised by all their friends when one sister runs away with an officer. Mr. Bennet rouses himself from his beloved books and pursues the lovers to London, but returns empty-handed, his daughter lost forever. When the Bingley party arrives at Netherfield Park, they discover a neighborhood with a salacious scandal and a family ostracized from their midst. Though Miss Bingley revels in the gossip she learns from those with little sense and less discretion, Fitzwilliam Darcy keeps himself aloof, unwilling to join the condemnation without proof of poor behavior. Thus, when Darcy meets Miss Bennet by chance on a secluded path of her father’s estate, he finds her strangely compelling. The compulsion to continue to meet with her is strong, in defiance of the consequences if they should be discovered. Elizabeth Bennet finds herself equally intrigued, so much so that she begins to dream of a life free of scandal, where the Bennets have some hope of redemption. This re-imagination of Jane Austen’s beloved Pride and Prejudice answers the question of what might have happened had Fitzwilliam Darcy arrived in Meryton to find a Bennet family mired in scandal, one that he can do nothing to repair. Though many challenges lay in their path, including fallen sisters, despicable libertines, and a neighborhood determined to denounce the Bennets as depraved, Darcy and Elizabeth are convinced that their future happiness lies together.

Had Jane Austen lived to complete Sanditon, it would have been as treasured as her other novels. In the half-finished masterpiece, Austen fashions one of her classic heroines—Charlotte Heywood. The surviving fragment also sets the story well on its path as Charlotte begins an adventure to Sanditon where a full cast of characters becomes intertwined in various intrigues. At first, Charlotte finds amusement enough standing at her ample Venetian window looking over the placid seafront. However, before long, Charlotte discovers that scandals abound. She becomes captivated by the romance of the seaside lifestyle. But is the town of Sanditon truly a haven and will Charlotte find happiness there? Now, fully completed by respected author and Austen expert Juliette Shapiro, this new edition of Sanditon finishes the original story in a vivid style recognizable to any fan. Shapiro’s prose and plot twists stay true to Austen’s sensibilities at all times while capturing her romance, tragedy, humor and sardonic wit.

Offers a radical new thesis about Jane Austen's construction of her art and recreates substantial area of her mental and imaginative life.

Innovative Lesemethode von Ilya Frank - Ungekürzter Originaltext. Zweisprachiges Buch Englisch-Deutsch. "Pride and Prejudice" ("Stolz und Vorurteil") ist der bekannteste Roman der britischen Schriftstellerin Jane Austen. "Pride and Prejudice" ist nicht nur als Liebesroman zu verstehen, sondern auch eine zeitgenössische Studie der englischen Gesellschaft am Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts. Der Roman beschreibt etwas mehr als ein Jahr im Leben einer kleinen Zahl junger Leute auf dem Land in der Nähe Londons an der Wende vom 18. zum 19. Jahrhundert. Im innersten Kreis dieser wohlhabenden bis reichen und teilweise adligen Familien steht die Familie Bennet mit ihren fünf Töchtern im Alter zwischen fünfzehn und Anfang zwanzig. Der langanhaltende Erfolg von Stolz und Vorurteil scheint auch darin begründet zu sein, dass die Erzählung eine Kombination aus traditioneller Romanze mit einer unkonventionellen Heldin anbietet und sich die Figur der Elizabeth Bennet mit der heutigen Identität einer aktiven, eine eigene Meinung nicht scheuenden und unabhängigen Weiblichkeit verbinden lässt. Spaß am Lesen im Original – und das schon als Anfänger oder Wiedereinsteiger. Innovative Lesemethode von Ilya Frank. Fremdsprachen durch Spaß am Lesen lernen, auffrischen und perfektionieren.

Elizabeth Bennet is Austen's most liberated and unambiguously appealing heroine, and Pride and Prejudice has remained over most of the past two centuries Austen's most popular novel. The story turns on the marriage prospects of the five daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet: Elizabeth forms a prejudice against the proud and distant Mr. Darcy; Darcy's charming friend Charles Bingley falls in love with her sister Jane; and the handsome officer George Wickham forms attachments successively to Elizabeth and to her sister Lydia. Irvine's extensive introduction sets the novel in the context of the literary and intellectual history of the period, and deals with such crucial background issues as early-nineteenth century class relations in Britain, and female exclusion from property and power. The appendices present an unrivaled selection of background contextual documents.
