Northanger Abbey. Illustrated edition
Jane Austen’s earliest novel, Northanger Abbey is perhaps the author’s most light-hearted work. The main heroine, Catherine Morland, whose vision of the world is heavily affected by the numerous Gothic novels she has read, enters Bath, a place beloved by the members of the high society. As she makes new acquaintances, naive and impressionable Catherine looks at them through the prism of the Gothic novels popular at the time and, thus, creates comical misunderstandings throughout the story. Both a Gothic novel and an amusing satire, Northanger Abbey is a must-read, which became even more entertaining in this exclusive illustrated edition. Illustrated by Dmitrii Rybalko.

Обычно мне нравятся книги Джейн Остин, но эта какая-то ну очень затянутая. Какое-то шевеление сюжета началось только после 50% книги. Мне понравилось то, что даже за 6 глав до конца я не могла предугадать наверняка, чем же в итоге кончится (хотя если подумать, то чем же ещё может закончиться книга Остин?!). Но конец оказался скомканным. И вроде бы всё объяснено, но всё равно есть ощущение ВЖУХ! - и всё у всех хорошо.
Само аббатство тоже после половины книги появляется, так что ещё и выбор названия мне непонятен.

Yes, novels; for I will not adopt that ungenerous and impolitic custom so common with novel-writers, of degrading by their contemptuous censure the very performances, to the number of which they are themselves adding-joining with their greatest enemies in bestowing the harshest epithets on such works, and scarcely ever permitting them to be read by their own heroine, who, if she accidentally take up a novel, is sure to turn over its insipid pages with disgust.
