Sinossi
Traduzione di Milena Finazzi
Sono qui raccolti i più dissacranti inediti giovanili dell’autrice, brevi racconti popolati di ubriaconi, avvelenatori ed evasi, scritti per il divertimento della famiglia. La bella Cassandra (1788), che per ironia condivide il nome con la maggiore delle sorelle Austen, è una giovane donna che si lancia nel mondo per fare fortuna e la cui storia si trasforma in una parodia dei romanzi sentimentali e gotici molto apprezzati all’epoca.
Di Jane Austen (1775-1817) nel catalogo dei Grandi Libri Garzanti: L’Abbazia di Northanger, Emma, Mansfield Park, Orgoglio e pregiudizio, Ragione e sentimento, Persuasione.

Recensioni
Such a delightful read - I love Jane Austen's juvenilia; it is absolutely hilarious.
Be warned this is not the Austen we know and love. These little extracts were written when she was very young and were never intended to be published. They were only a means for entertainment for her family and, no doubt, herself. Therefore, I don’t think it is fair to criticise these harshly; they Leggi tutto
Teenage Jane was a delight and hella reckless — drunk women who get into brawls at parties, so much gambling & drinking & MURDER, men roasting women for not being "sufficiently rich, beautiful, and witty", women forgetting they popped out a baby two weeks ago, only to adopt & then abandon & re-adopt Leggi tutto
Jane Austen was a pre-consumerist writer who cared not for world-building or owning things, but instead of people's countenances, beauty and humour. She lived from the 18th to the 19th Century in England and gained little fame in her lifetime for her works, having published them originally anonymous Leggi tutto
Give me anything of Austen's and i'll be happy!! This was so much fun reading, but since i worship the woman, i'm probably not the one to judge :P
It is totally unlike any other Austen work. Not just by the writing style (she was just a teen after all!) but by content too! Never expected Austen to be so naughty in her teens. There's a hint of mischief throughout the 50 odd pages. Austen-lovers, you might want to check it out. Not recommended t Leggi tutto

the love letters at the end? i havent witnessed a thing similar to them before
I thought it was very interesting to read something Jane Austen wrote as a teenager. It wasn't anything special, but it was a nice and quick read. I loved how Penguin decided against removing the spelling mistakes that she must've made when she wrote these stories. It also helped me understand why i Leggi tutto
