Austen Jane Austen NORTHANGER'S ABBEY

Annotation

The life of young Catherine Morland (a member of the large family of a modest rural cleric) runs smoothly in the English countryside, where she passionately indulges in her favorite distraction: reading novels of the Gothic genre, filled with hidden passageways, dungeons, and mysteries. . An invitation in real life, however, takes her to the city of Bath, where she and her brother James will establish relationships with the Thorpe, ambitious and manipulative, and the Tinleys, offspring of a distinguished family whose hacienda, held by the picturesque Named "Northanger Abbey", Catherine awakens the most chilling and delicious expectations. Tinted with Jane Austen's (1775-1817) penetration and fine irony, "Northanger Abbey" mixes loves, conveniences, and appearances, giving us the invaluable pleasure of reading.
