Love and Friendship

Jane Austen

Wydawnictwo Wymownia przygotowało prezenty dla swoich Czytelników. Treść książki zdradzi sposób, w jaki można pobrać niespodzianki – darmowe ebooki naszego wydawnictwa. "Miłość i przyjaźń" to wczesna historia Jane Austen z 1790 roku. Od jedenastego do osiemnastego roku życia Austen pisała swoje opowieści w trzech zeszytach. Te nadal istnieją, jedna w Bibliotece Bodleian, a dwie pozostałe w British Museum. Zawierają one między innymi "Miłość i przyjaźń", napisane, gdy miała czternaście lat, oraz "Historię Anglii", gdy miała piętnaście lat. Napisana w formie epistolarnej, jak jej późniejsza, niepublikowana powieść, Lady Susan, Love and Freindship, jest uważana za jedną z opowieści, które napisała dla rozrywki swojej rodziny. Miłość i przyjaźń to przypuszczalnie parodia romantycznych powieści, które Austen czytała jako dziecko.   Jane Austen – któż o niej nie słyszał?! Ta bardzo utalentowana autorka powieści opisywała życie angielskiej klasy wyższej z początku XIX wieku. Mimo, że sama wiodła stosunkowo odosobnione życie na prowincji w hrabstwie Hampshire, nie pozbawiło jej to zmysłu obserwacji i nie zubożyło dramaturgii jej utworów. Ich fabuła najczęściej dotyczy zamążpójścia i związanych z tym problemów społecznych (co ciekawe, sama Austen nigdy nie wyszła za mąż!). Reputację wyśmienitej pisarki zyskała już za życia – jej powieści chwalił m.in. Walter Scott. Do dziś ekranizuje się dzieła Austen, a jej powieści pozyskują rzesze wielbicielek.
