Sinossi
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.

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
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
