About the Author

Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817. As a girl Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were only published after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma(1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.

Gifted to my Mom- she specifically requested a simple front design and a smaller sized book so she can take it in her purse to read on the bus. She loved it!

This book is a beautiful hardcover with the portability and ease of use of a mass market paper back. I really enjoyed it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very pleasing and captivating book.

d.l. · February 3, 2021

I loved reading this book, as well as Pride and Prejudice, both by Jane Austen. You can envision how people conducted themselves in that day and age.The only sour note I had was with the book itself. Rather I had a couple pages with ink blemishes on them. They did not prevent me from enjoying the book, but I hope the printers take better care when printing new books.

Happy with Book

J. · November 19, 2024

I bought 3 of the Jane Austen books in this edition, this is the only one that came unscathed as it was packaged properly. Very happy with the book and the cover is a really nice design.

Fast delivery and product in good condition

I bought the book for my wife and she loved it! The book arrived quickly and is in perfect condition.

O livro é bom. Mas...

R.S.Y. · September 19, 2023

Esses clássicos cloth bounded livros da Wordsworth são uma gracinha. As letras são boas, as páginas amarelas e grossinhas, e o tamanho não é ruim. Tecnicamente é uma edição econômica, apesar do preço, pra quem pesquisa sabe que livros importados geralmente não saem por menos de 100 reais. E, considerando que a edição é capa dura, o preço condiz com o produto. Vale ressaltar que os livros contém apenas a capa, contra capa e a história em si. Não tem dedicatória nem sobre o autor, mas isso não influencia na leitura. Os parágrafos são em aspas, então o texto fica corrido.Os pontos negativos que tenho a destacar são: primeiro, os livros importados vem todos sem aquele plástico que protege o livro. Isso nem deve ser culpa da Bolo, provavelmente as editoras internacionais enviam os livros pelados. Mas a Bolo deveria pelo menos embalar com um plástico, porque sempre vem empoeirados, ou com a dust jacket desbotada ou rasgada, ou pior, com marca de dedos imundos nas folhas dos livros. E tenha certeza que, por conta disso, a quina da lombada virá desbotada e amassada. Comprei mais de 8 livros desses e todos vieram assim, sem exceção.E, por último, os livros dessa linha da editora Wordsworth, são muito frágeis quanto a pintura na capa. É preciso cuidado ao manusear para a tinta não desbotar. Mesmo o suor da mão quando se lê o livro pode descolorir a capa (por experiência própria meus livros descoloriram onde eu segurei pra ler).

Lovely book

c.s. · September 3, 2023

Lovely book to read. Lovely book to hold. Nice clean, fresh edition. Have seen other reviewers who were unhappy with the packing. I had no complaints other than the box was way bigger than necessary. For those who care about these things, this book is much smaller than most books. More of a pocket sized book.

Cute
