Sense and Sensibility

Jane Austen

Jane Austen'S Sense And Sensibility Deals With The Subject Of Marriage And Morals- Of Young Ladies Finding Proper Husbands For Themselves- Like Pride And Prejudice And Mansfield Park. But The Subject-Matter Of The Novel Is More Than That: It Is Directed Against The Social Pretensions And Ambitions Of Late 18Th And Early 19Th Century England With An Understanding That Runs Together With Irony.

Pride and Prejudice

Jane Austen

Austen's most popular novel, the unforgettable story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy<br/><br/>Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet in Austen’s beloved classic Pride and Prejudice. When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. 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 us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life. This Penguin Classics edition, based on Austen's first edition, contains the original Penguin Classics introduction by Tony Tanner and an updated introduction and notes by Viven Jones.<br/><br/>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Shirley, meanwhile, is in love with Robert's brother, an impoverished tutor - a match opposed by her family. As industrial unrest builds to a potentially fatal pitch, can the four be reconciled? Set during the Napoleonic wars at a time of national economic struggles, <i>Shirley </i>(1849) is an unsentimental, yet passionate depiction of conflict between classes, sexes and generations.<br><br>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes horrifying discoveries about his client and his castle.

In the ensuing battle of wits between the sinister Count Dracula and a determined group of adversaries, Bram Stoker created a masterpiece of the horror genre, probing deeply into questions of human identity and sanity, and illuminating dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.

Anne of Green Gables

Lucy M. Montgomery

La señora Rachel Lynde vivía donde el camino real de Avonlea baja a un pequeño valle orlado de alisos y zarcillos, y cruzado por un arroyo que nace en los bosques de la vieja posesión de los Cuthbert. El arroyo tenía reputación de ser torrencial e intrincado en su curso superior, entre los bosques, con secretos y oscuros remansos y cascadas; pero al llegar al Lynde's Hollow era una pequeña corriente, tranquila y bien educada, pues ni siquiera un arroyo podría pasar frente a la puerta de la señora Rachel Lynde sin el debido respeto por la decencia y el decoro.
