Das Leben und die Liebe kennt die junge Catherine Morland nur aus der Literatur - bis sie eines Tages dem charmanten und lebensfrohen Henry Tilney...

Gotische Abteien, gruselige Mönche, verworrene Handlungen - die junge Catherine Morland liebt Schauerromane! Sie reist mit Freunden der Familie für einige Wochen nach Bath, wo sie sich in den charmanten Henry Tilney verliebt. Als sie von dessen Schwester und deren Vater auf den Familiensitz Northanger Abbey eingeladen wird, sagt sie begeistert zu. Durch ihre sich überschlagende Phantasie manövriert sie sich dort allerdings in die eine und andere peinliche Lage.

When Catherine Morland, a country clergyman's daughter, is invited to spend a season in Bath with the fashionable high society, little does she imagine the delights and perils that await her. Captivated and disconcerted by what she finds, and introduced to the joys of "Gothic novels" by her new friend, Isabella, Catherine longs for mystery and romance. When she is invited to stay with the beguiling Henry Tilney and his family at Northanger Abbey, she expects mystery and intrigue at every turn.

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.

Jane Austen's first novel - published posthumously in 1818 - tells the story of Catherine Morland and her dangerously sweet nature, innocence, and sometime self-delusion. Though Austen's fallible heroine is repeatedly drawn into scrapes while vacationing at Bath and during her subsequent visit to Northanger Abbey, Catherine eventually triumphs, blossoming into a discerning woman who learns truths about love, life, and the heady power of literature. The satirical novel pokes fun at the gothic novel while earnestly emphasizing caution to the female sex.

Catherine Morland reads tales of Gothic romance, yet leads a country life in Wiltshire. When she travels to Bath, she meets and falls in love with Henry Tilney. She is invited by his sister and father to stay at Northanger Abbey, where she meets all the trappings of Gothic horror that she has read about. Fortunately, she has her own good sense and irresistible but unsentimental hero, Henry Tilney.

In this Audible Exclusive production, Academy Award® nominee Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) narrates one of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Sense and Sensibility. In this timeless tale of misguided romance and heartbreak, two teenage heroines must overcome the pitfalls of Georgian England’s high society in order to achieve the love and happiness they seek. The admiration that Pike has for Austen’s work is shown clearly through this passionate delivery of Austen’s first published novel.

In Mansfield Park wächst die aus schwierigen Verhältnissen stammende Fanny Price bei ihrer wohlhabenden Tante und deren vier Kindern auf. Dort wird sie mehr geduldet als geliebt. Nur ihr Cousin Edward begegnet ihr mit Zuneigung. Doch das beschauliche Landleben gerät aus den Fugen, als die Londoner Bonvivants Mary und Henry Crawford auftauchen und mit ihren Kabalen und durchtriebenen Verführungskünsten alles auf den Kopf stellen.

This is Jane Austen's lighthearted lesson in what you get for reading too many gothic novels. It is a mark of the astonishing talent of the woman, however, that even a flippant swipe at the trashy reading of the day turned out to be an elegant if extremely funny classic. Catherine Morland is another one of those Austen girls who, in spite of her gloriously ironic portrait as a romantic heroine in training, ends up being someone whose story you'd follow to the end of the world, or at least until the end of the book.

Award-winning narrator and internationally acclaimed writer/comedienne Alison Larkin brings depth and wit to this rich, hugely entertaining audio production of Jane Austen's last two great novels Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. The novels are followed by The History of England, a short satirical piece in which the teenage Austen writes about the kings and queens of England with less respect (and more wit) than any British newspaper, and Poems, a selection of lesser known, mostly comic verses that Austen wrote to entertain family and friends.
