When Mrs. Dashwood is forced by an avaricious daughter-in-law to leave the family home in Sussex, she takes her three daughters to live in a modest cottage in Devon. For Elinor, the eldest daughter, the move means a painful separation from the man she loves, but her sister Marianne finds in Devon the romance and excitement which she longs for.

Viewed from an historical perspective, Jane Austen's novels should not exist. She was born during a period where female writers (if they dared to write at all) were dismissed, ignored, and dissuaded from writing altogether. The fact that Ms. Austen went ahead and created the novels contained in this collection—which have gone on to become some of the most treasured books in literary history—is nothing short of a miracle.

Steventon, 1759: Die aufgeweckte Pfarrerstochter Jane möchte am liebsten nur eines: schreiben, schreiben, schreiben. Mit tintenverschmierten Händen durchwacht sie die Nächte und begibt sich in die Welt ihrer Heldinnen. Ginge es jedoch nach ihrer Mutter, würde sie schon bald die Schreibfeder gegen einen Ehering eintauschen. Jane allerdings interessiert sich herzlich wenig für die jungen Herren aus ihrem Ort - bis der belesene Tom Lefroy aufkreuzt. Doch Janes Liebe zu ihm wird immer wieder enttäuscht.

With its irrepressible heroine and playful literary games, Northanger Abbey is the most youthful and optimistic of Jane Austen's novels. It tells the story of young, impressionable Catherine Morland, whose first experience of fashionable society introduces her to the thrills of gothic romances, and to the sophisticated Tilneys, who invite her to their family home, Northanger Abbey. But there, influenced by novels of horror and intrigue, Catherine begins to think that terrible crimes are being committed, and her imagination threatens to run away with her.

Catherine Morland ist jung, doch weder hübsch noch vermögend. Männern gegenüber scheu, entwickelt sie erst langsam ihre besondere Anziehungskraft, die das andere Geschlecht bezaubert. Als Satire auf den Schauerroman gedacht, zeigt das Buch Jane Austen auf der Höhe ihrer Kunst. Von scharfer Zunge, aber zärtlichem Herzen, zündet die Autorin ein Feuerwerk an Pointen.
