NORTHANGER ABBEY (Chiltern Edition)

Jane Austen's first novel—published posthumously in 1818—tells the story of Catherine Morland and her dangerously sweet nature, innocence, and sometime self-delusion. Though Austen's fallible heroine is repeatedly drawn into scrapes while vacationing at Bath and during her subsequent visit to Northanger Abbey, Catherine eventually triumphs, blossoming into a discerning woman who learns truths about love, life, and the heady power of literature. The satirical novel pokes fun at the gothic novel while earnestly emphasizing caution to the female sex.

Primul roman al lui Jane Austen - publicat postum in 1818 - spune povestea Catherinei Morland si natura ei periculoasa de dulce, inocenta si, uneori, auto-amagirea. Desi eroina falibila a lui Austen este atrasa in mod repetat in zgarieturi in timpul vacantei la Bath si in timpul vizitei sale ulterioare la Northanger Abbey, Catherine in cele din urma triumfa, inflorind intr-o femeie cu discernamant care afla adevaruri despre dragoste, viata si puterea ametitoare a literaturii.
