About this product
Product Information
Pride and Prejudice - An elegant tableau revolving around the five Bennett daughters, including clever, strong-spirited Elizabeth. Austen's masterpiece is a study of love, loss and snobbery. Sense and Sensibility - The engaging story of sisters Elinor and Marianne, whose lives are turned upside down when they are left almost penniless following the death of their father. Two men with whom the sisters form attachments present more unforeseen challenges along the way. Emma - Emma is an exquisitely crafted social portrait of late Eighteenth-century society, widely considered to be Austen's most literarily accomplished work. Emma Woodhouse, self-appointed meddling matchmaker, stands to lose out on love herself if she isn't careful. Persuasion - In part autobiographical, Persuasion has a quieter sense of humour, and takes a more serious tone, than some of Austen's other novels. Anne Elliot is revisited by her ex-fiancee, coinciding with a downturn in her family's fortunes, and has some choices to make. Northanger Abbey - Young and susceptible, Catherine Morland expects dark secrets and many dangers to be lurking in the hidden recesses of Northanger Abbey. In fact, the real obstacles lying in her path are more mundane but just as serious as her imagined horrors. The collection also includes 2 Bonus CDs including The Watsons, an early Austen short story, and a collection of letters. Titles read by highly-acclaimed British actresses including Anna Massey, Harriet Walter and Joanna Lumley.Product Identifiers

Stories without the wit and the irony of the author
The story without the necessary qualities of her narrative If you consider Jane Austen's novels summarily, and ignore the irony and the creation of character they might be considered to be merely romances after the school of Mills and Boon. Sadly to compress these novels within the scope of two CDs there is a danger that to rush on with the plot and neglect the wit, the wry commentary and the free discourse of the narrative they are eviscerated of all that make them 'great novels' However well read these studies of society and heroines may be rather more 'children's stories' [which is not to despise children's stories] but they loose their power and may be a turn off for those that come to Austen without having read the originals. I was disappointed, accordingly, with these recordings, none the less they are well read, and within the afore said limitations quite a pleasant way of wiling away time before sleep or because of insomnia.

Love it!
Brilliant price for a great boxset of top-notch narrations. The content is abridged, but for once I am not bothered as these are good abridgements with the essence of the novels not lost. And the narrators are wonderful.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
