Liebe und Freundschaft - Lesley Castle: Neu übersetzt von Julia Weigel
Diese neu übersetzte Ausgabe vereint zwei der frühesten und witzigsten Jugendwerke von Jane Liebe und Freundschaft und Lesley Castle. In pointierten Briefen, scharfsinnigen Beobachtungen und herrlich überzeichneter Ironie zeigt die junge Austen bereits all das Talent, das sie später berühmt machte.
Liebe und Freundschaft erzählt die turbulente Geschichte einer völlig unerschütterlichen Heldin, die sich mit grenzenloser Leidenschaft durch eine Serie romantischer Eskapaden schreibt. In Lesley Castle nimmt Austen die Schwächen der feinen Gesellschaft ins Visier – mit einem Humor, der ebenso verspielt wie überraschend modern ist.
Diese Neuübersetzung macht die frische, freche und lebendige Stimme Jane Austens für heutige Leserinnen und Leser unmittelbar zugänglich. Sie bietet nicht nur einen seltenen Blick auf die Anfänge ihres literarischen Genies, sondern lädt dazu ein, ihre frühen Werke neu zu entdecken – leicht, unterhaltsam und mit all dem Charme, den man an Austen liebt.
Ein Muss für alle Austen-Fans, Liebhaber klassischer Literatur und Leserinnen und Leser, die humorvolle Gesellschaftssatiren mit zeitloser Eleganz schätzen.

About the author
Jane Austen
4,073 books76.1k followersJane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six novels, which implicitly interpret, critique, and comment upon the English landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage for the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works are an implicit critique of the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her deft use of social commentary, realism and biting irony have earned her acclaim among critics and scholars.
The anonymously published Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816), were a modest success but brought her little fame in her lifetime. She wrote two other novels—Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1817—and began another, eventually titled Sanditon, but died before its completion. She also left behind three volumes of juvenile writings in manuscript, the short epistolary novel Lady Susan, and the unfinished novel The Watsons.
Since her death Austen's novels have rarely been out of print. A significant transition in her reputation occurred in 1833, when they were republished in Richard Bentley's Standard Novels series (illustrated by Ferdinand Pickering and sold as a set). They gradually gained wide acclaim and popular readership. In 1869, fifty-two years after her death, her nephew's publication of A Memoir of Jane Austen introduced a compelling version of her writing career and supposedly uneventful life to an eager audience. Her work has inspired a large number of critical essays and has been included in many literary anthologies. Her novels have also inspired many films, including 1940's Pride and Prejudice, 1995's Sense and Sensibility and 2016's Love & Friendship.
