Jane Austen - The Complete Novels

I’m a huge fan of Jane Austen but this format is not the best. The review with the multiple books sealed the deal for me to buy the product. It is misleading bc you assume it’s 7 separate books not just one giant book. I read the description but even then it’s not specified what type of format it is, I thought the cover was a box case for the books. Just disappointed

I've enjoyed the writing of Jane Austen ever since I was in middle school and I still like going back once in a while to read her works again. My particular favorite novel by her is "Persuasion," which is a story about a mature heroine and the consequences of her past decisions. Anne Elliot is a relatable character who is refreshingly normal and down to earth.After "Persuasion," my next choices would be "Northanger Abbey" and "Pride and Prejudice" tied for second. "Northanger Abbey" is about a young, sincere, yet naive heroine by the name of Catherine Morland who has quite an imagination due to her love of gothic novels. Austen's prose mixed with her parody of the gothic genre (popular back in her time) makes for a most enjoyable read. Henry Tilney is quite a refreshing male protagonist with his knowledge of women's lace.And of course there is "Pride and Prejudice" which needs no introduction. One can't help but enjoy the vivid personality that is Elizabeth Bennet and her dark and misunderstood hero, Mr. Darcy.This Complete Novel collection also includes Austen's "Manfield Park," "Sense and Sensibility," "Emma," and "Lady Susan." This is must have collection for any Austenite. I wish poor Jane Austen had a longer life that was not fraught with illness so she could have completed many more works. If wishes were fishes...

My dogs ate my original copy of this edition and I was really excited that this version was still in print and for a decent price. It's a big, heavy volume that may not work for everyone. The font size isn't super small, but may be slightly smaller than your average book. If this copy is anything like my original one, it holds up well to multiple readings and is flexible right out of the box. I like how the front and back cover have a folded piece that will work for a quick bookmark if I need to set it down briefly. The page width intentionally varies so some pages stick out a little further than others rather than looking like a smooth block of paper.

A classic.

Jane Austen was a precocious writer, experimenting with her own style as a young girl. As an adult, she wrote some priceless classics of English literature. Her works are still popular today; many have the transition to film and television. This collection gathers together the best of her work.Here are her six completed novels, including the incomparable "Pride and Prejudice." Here also is Sanditon, a tantalizing story she never completed. Her four surviving juvenile works include some surprisingly frank and sophisticated stories."This collection reveals Jane Austen to be a skilled writer with keen powers of observation married to a sense of humor, who worked hard to master her craft and who clearly succeeded. Her novels remain highly readable and absolutely entertaining. "The Complete Novels of Jane Austen" is very highly recommended to her fans.

I know I have read more than one of Ms. Austen 's books more than once. They never fail to take me to a different place. The pace slows, the language reminds you to breathe deep and take your time. It is difficult for me to rush through an Austen book, it is rare not to enjoy it.

What a DELIGHTFUL anthology of all Jane Austen's novels! I was especially impressed with the beautifully embossed midnight blue and gold leather binding of this edition, gilded pages, and the sewn in ribbon book mark. This certainly is a worthwhile addition to anyone's library. In fact, I've already recommended it highly to several other people. (This is precisely the new volume Grigg purchased in the hit film "The Jane Austen Book Club"!)Included as a bonus are the original pen and ink illustrations charmingly rendered by Hugh Thomson, which are both witty and expertly drawn. They capture the essence of the time period and the stories superbly. In addition to all six well-loved Jane Austen novels, the lesser-known "Lady Susan" is also present in this comprehensive volume. To purchase this entire edition, with high quality paper and such a beautiful binding for under $20.00 is unbelievable! By all means, purchase a copy immediately for any Jane Austen lover you know. They will treasure this volume forever! Jane Austen: The Complete Novels, Deluxe Edition (Library of Literary Classics) !

Es un libro grande, con una hermosa portada, igual que las obras de Jane Austen.

Zu dick, dadurch unhandlich. Zu kleine Schrift.

4.5Realmente el libro es precioso, las letras son pequeñas, pero es normal para este tipo de libros recopilatorios.Es pesado, porque pues... es pasta dura y son 1200 páginas.En mi caso, llegó bien, pero parece que está un poco despegado del lomo, digo un poco porque realmente no pone en riesgo nada y es un detalle muy minúsculo y no sé si es de fábrica para que el libro pueda abrir bien o no lo sé, pero no afecta.Fuera de eso, este libro es perfecto.

Nothing inside the 4-page file. Asking for payment of $3.99.
