books by Jane Austen     books:       The Complete Novels (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)25 reviews Jane Austen Penguin Classics, 2006 Definitely recommended. I was looking for an edition of Austen's collected works that fit well in my hands, and this fits the bill. The pages are crisp, clean and the typeset is quite handsome (rather easy on the eyes). It isn't too heavy or bulky and the pages don't unknowingly flail out of place--causing you to lose your spot. For the layperson, the introduction is an added benefit, but if you're smart you'll just ...             Persuasion (Penguin Classics)25 reviews Jane Austen Penguin Classics, 2003 Love's Barriers Delightfully Probed in Polite Conversation Persuasion is Jane Austen's most sophisticated story and writing. She lovingly and incisively demonstrates the problems of being a well-bred sensitive person in a society that's more intrigued by social standing, money, and polite conversation than by good character. Persuasion is Anne Elliot's story. The title's initial allusion is to Anne's brush with matrimony when a promising, but not ...             Favorite Jane Austen Novels: Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion (Dover Thrift Editions)25 reviews Jane Austen Dover Publications, 1997 excellent! I recieved my book on time and in perfect conditions just like it was said and also at a great price!! I bought Favorite Jane Austen Novels, which are 3 books and all for about $11.00!!             Pride and Prejudice (Bantam Classics)892 reviews Jane Austen Bantam Classics, 1983 My Favorite Book Jane Austen's classic, Pride and Prejudice, is perhaps my favorite book of all time. Miss Austen's trademark wit and whimsy style of writing is appealing to readers of all ages, even to a modern teen like me. I find something, many things, to relate to within the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, as I, like she, "[takes] delight in anything ridiculous." Since the moment I read that infamous line: ...             Persuasion (Oxford World's Classics)11 reviews Jane Austen Oxford University Press, USA, 2004 An investment in pleasure. Any person considering reading PERSUASION by Jane Austen must have several thoughts in mind before beginning. This book is a classic, written by a master. It requires an investment of your time, your patience, your understanding and your attention. It is a book to be savored, not galloped through as if it were a modern fiction bodice ripper. If you are willing to approach this book with an ...             Classic British Fiction: Jane Austen's complete novels, all 8 books in a single file, with active table of ...2 reviews B&R Samizdat Express, 2008 Fabulous compilation! It's really great to have the entire works of Jane Austen on your kindle all in one file. I really like it that they included the year that a work was published/written. All the hyperlinks work and the text flows perfectly on each page - works great with the Kindle. And what a bargain!             Jane Austen: The Complete Novels, Deluxe Edition (Library of Literary Classics)75 reviews Jane Austen Gramercy, 1995 Loved it I loved having all of my favorite Jane Austen books in one hard cover book! I loved that the pages were slightly yellow to help avoid the strain on my eyes!             Sense and Sensibility (Penguin Classics)40 reviews Jane Austen Penguin Classics, 2003 Loving Tension and a Fine Balance Jane Austen's comforting classic is based on the dichotomous relationship between reason (Elinor) and emotion (Marianne). Austen's greatness lies in her backing out of the box of 19th-century literary moralism and seeing the areas of gray in human relationships and within the individual. Over and over again in this "early" work (Austen was only 41 when she died) we see characters acting in ...             Emma (Barnes & Noble Classics)1 review Jane Austen Barnes & Noble Classics, 2004 witty, enjoyable read I can never decide whether Pride and Prejudice or Emma is my favourite book by Jane Austen. Emma has all the Jane Austen hallmarks - wit, exuberance, and laugh out loud moments, coupled with realistic, well drawn characters and a real feeling of being in the Regency (which is hardly surprising, as that's when the book was written). Emma is a spoiled young woman who has everything she can possibly ...             Emma (Penguin Classics)208 reviews Jane Austen Penguin Classics, 2003 Emma Woodhouse Emma complete illustrated novel by Jane Austen Austen's witty exploration of social relationships in "Emma" is both humorous and insightful. An enjoyable read for everyone.             Jane Austen - 8 Books In 1: Sense & Sensibility, Pride & Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, ...23 reviews Jane Austen Shoes and Ships and Sealing Wax Ltd, 2006 The Incredible Jane Austen Whoever is acquainted with Jane Austen's novels probably understands that her place in literature is almost unique for the period in which she wrote. She traveled her own road, and in the process published some of the most entertaining stories of any era. Don't bother to look hard for a hidden theme or complex plot. I've never been able to uncover any such thing. But for sheer artistry in ...             Sense and Sensibility (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (B&N Classics)3 reviews Jane Austen Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003 Excellence & Erudition I picked up this book largely due to fond memories of Pride and Prejudice (Enriched Classics), but I found Sense & Sensibility is an excellent novel in its own right. I'm not sure why, but I was worried that it might be a bit dry. I needn't have been concerned, as the wit and story both sparkle from the first few pages and it only gets better as it goes along. The basic plot involves two ...             The Annotated Pride and Prejudice42 reviews Jane Austen Anchor Books, 2007 Excellent background information The notes on the opposite page of teach page of the book are very helpful in understanding the exact meanings and the connotations of many words and phrases that were in use in the period when Jane Austen is writing. The historical background of that era and especially the explanation of the social and cultural life is very illuminating. I hesitated to get this edition of the book, and I am so ...             Mansfield Park (Barnes & Noble Classics Series)2 reviews Jane Austen Barnes & Noble Classics, 2005 Excellent I think this is my favorite Jane Austen book so far, although I still have Persuasion and Northanger Abbey to read. Most Austen fans would not count Mansfield Park as a favorite, though, at least from what I've heard. It's not that it's a profoundly different book from the more popular Pride & Prejudice or Sense & Sensibility, but many people seem to dislike the main character, or at least are ...             The Oxford Illustrated Jane Austen (Six Volume Set)12 reviews Jane Austen Oxford University Press, USA, 1988 Muddyboo's Misunderstanding Muddyboo's review claimed that he had twice received this set with a flaw at the bottom of every page, "an erroneous word" there by mistake. Apparently he is unacquainted with books printed in the 19th century and early 20th century. They regular print, at the bottom right of every page, the first word of the following page. This was believed to be helpful to the reader. It is NOT a ...             Emma (Oxford World's Classics)4 reviews Jane Austen Oxford University Press, USA, 2003 6 stars for content, standard binding, good introduction There is absolutely nothing wrong with this book at all. It is a very good read, in a very standard binding. You get a good introduction to it and some nice notes which are helpful. This is set in contemporary times to Austen, and was the heroine which Austen least liked. Emma Woodhouse is young, rich and single. She lives a life of wealth and privilege in a small village just outside of ...             Jane Austen 6-book Boxed Set (Collector's Library)3 reviews Jane Austen CRW Publishing Limited, 2004 Excellent collection - excellent bookseller The order went thru to an Amazon bookselling company in England. Couldn't be more pleased with their efforts. It took a while for the books to arrived, and I inquired too early as to a shipment date. They arrived the next day, by air mail. Good people, good books - a graduation present for my granddaughter.             Pride and Prejudice (Oxford World's Classics) Jane Austen, St Fiona Oxford University Press, USA, 2008 Pride and Prejudice has delighted generations of readers with its unforgettable cast of characters, carefully choreographed plot, and a hugely entertaining view of the world and its absurdities. With the arrival of eligible young men in their neighborhood, the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and their five daughters are turned inside out and upside down. Pride encounters prejudice, upward-mobility confronts social disdain, and ...             Northanger Abbey (Penguin Classics)89 reviews Jane Austen Penguin Classics, 2003 Northanger Abbey: Janeites rejoice in this light and lively tour de force Northanger Abbey is a gem. Jane Austen (1775-1817)has written a charmiing little novel about a charming little lady named Catherine Moreland. Catherine is 15 as the novel begins in Wiltshire. She and the hilariously stupid Mrs. Allen go on a six week trip to nearby Bath to take the waters. Catherine meets the fashionable and fast Isabella Thorpe. Catherine dances with the clergyman Henry Tilney ...             Northanger Abbey (Vintage Classics)1 review Jane Austen Vintage, 2007 I LOVE BOOKS I love the time period in which Jane Austin writes-these books are very good and also very captivating              search for books 6-book, annotated, bantam, british, classic, classics, collector, complete, contents, deluxe, edition, editions, favorite, fiction, friendship, illustrated, library, literary, mansfield, northanger, novels, oxford, penguin, persuasion, prejudice, sensibility, series, thrift, vintage, volume books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
