Northanger abbey
Raamat riiulist
Kirjeldus
Jane Austens brilliant satire of the gothic novel. The most sprightly and satirical of Austens novels, Northanger Abbey was written when the author was herself in her early twenties, and takes for its heroine seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland, a spirited young woman preoccupied with the pleasures of dressing, dancing, and reading sensational novels. But when she visits Northanger Abbey, the ancestral home of handsome Henry Tilney, Catherines taste in books comes back to haunt her. The rambling house full of locked doors and the familys mysterious history give rise to delightfully dreadful suspicions, and finally only Catherines sweet nature and good humor triumph over her susceptibility. A sly commentary on the power of literature as well as a cautionary tale about the perils of naivete, Northanger Abbey is a fresh and funny tale of one young woman receiving, as Margaret Drabble reveals in her illuminating introduction, intensive instruction in the ways of the world. With an Introduction by Margaret Drabble and an Afterword by Stephanie LaurensToode ID
