In this Audible Exclusive production, Academy Award® nominee Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) narrates one of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Sense and Sensibility.

Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

A coming-of-age tale for the young and naïve 17-year-old Catherine Morland, Northanger Abbey takes a decidedly comical look at themes of class, family, love and literature. Revelling in the sensationalist - and extremely popular - Gothic fiction of her day, the story follows Catherine out of Bath to the lofty manor of the Tilneys, where her overactive imagination gets to work constructing an absurd and melodramatic explanation for the death of Mrs Tilney, which threatens to jeopardise her newly forged friendships.

Have you ever wondered why we let first impressions dictate our happiness? In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen crafts one of the most enduring love stories in literary history. It is a brilliant satire exploring the delicate dance between societal expectation and personal desire in Regency England.

Lo que nadie ha decidido aún es qué hacer con ella una vez que esté allí. Jane Austen escribió Mansfield Park desde dentro del mundo que describe.

Fanny crece entre personas que no son desagradables por naturaleza, ...

Born to the ranks of the lower English gentry in 1775, Jane Austen led what some have mistakenly described as an ordinary and unremarkable life - a life that ended all too soon at the age of 41.

So, what do we really know about Austen’s life and influences?

Emma Woodhouse a tout pour elle. Une grande demeure, un père dévoué et la conviction inébranlable qu'elle sait exactement ce qui est le mieux pour son entourage. Elle se trompe. De manière spectaculaire, à maintes reprises, et souvent aux dépens d’autrui. Jane Austen a publié Emma en 1815, s’inspirant d’un univers qu’elle connaissait de l’intérieur : les règles sociales rigoureuses de la vie à la campagne anglaise, où un seul faux pas dans un salon pouvait réduire à néant des années de réputation soigneusement bâtie, et où la personne la plus intelligente de la ...

Anne Elliot avait autrefois été persuadée de rompre ses fiançailles avec un homme sans fortune ni renommée, guidée par les conseils bien intentionnés de ceux qui prétendaient mieux savoir qu’elle. Des années plus tard, plus âgée, plus sage et se résignant tranquillement à une vie ignorée par son père vaniteux et sa sœur indifférente, elle se retrouve replongée dans la compagnie de l’homme même qu’elle avait abandonné, revenu aujourd’hui en tant qu’officier de marine brillant et admiré.

Years later, older, wiser, and quietly resigned to a life overlooked by her vain father and indifferent sister, she finds herself thrown back into the company of the very man she gave up, now returned as a successful and admired naval officer. What follows is a story of longing, pride, and the slow, aching rediscovery of feelings that never truly faded. Around this central romance unfolds a vivid ...

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” So begins Pride and Prejudice, one of the most enduring and beloved novels in the English language.

Alcuni amori non finiscono. Rimangono in attesa. Anne Elliot un tempo si era lasciata convincere a rompere il fidanzamento con un uomo senza fortuna né nome, guidata dai consigli ben intenzionati di chi sosteneva di sapere meglio di lei. Anni dopo, più matura, più saggia e silenziosamente rassegnata a una vita trascurata dal padre vanitoso e dalla sorella indifferente, si ritrova catapultata di nuovo in compagnia proprio dell’uomo a cui aveva rinunciato, ora tornato come ufficiale di marina di successo e ammirato.
