English Summary/英文概要: Two centuries of covers from the world’s most beloved author
Jane Austen’s six novels are true classics, still immensely popular some 200 years after their first
publication. But although the celebrated stories never change, the covers are always different.
Jane Austen Cover to Cover compiles two centuries of design, from elegant Victorian hardcovers
and the famed 1894 “Peacock” edition to 1950s pulp, movie tie-in editions, graphic novels,
foreign-language translations, and many, many others. Filled with beautiful artwork and
insightful commentary, this fascinating and visually intriguing collection is a must for Janeites,design geeks, and book lovers of every stripe.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 著名作者简??奥斯汀的6本经典著作已经出版200余年仍为人传颂。虽然小说内容从未改变,但是200年间,这些著作的封面一直都在变化。《简??奥斯汀经典著作封面完整收录》就将这些封面一一收录,包括维多利亚时代优雅的精装本,1894年著名的“孔雀版本”,上世纪50年代的纸质版,还有各种电影封面的,绘本以及外文译本等。这本书对奥斯汀书迷,设计师以及读者们都非常有收藏价值。(XAT)
Awards/获奖情况:我非常喜欢这本书,已经读完一半了,对其中的内容仍然兴趣不减。我承认我只是喜爱简??奥斯汀的书,并没有深入地了解她的生平以及小说背后的意义。但这并不影响我对她的喜爱,我手中也有好几个版本的小说。《简??奥斯汀经典著作封面完整收录》将会带读者浏览过去200年间所有版本的奥斯汀著作。每一个版本都透露出了出版者的一些想法以及奥斯汀的生平。有些封面令我发笑,它的配图和故事本身好像没有任何联系,但有些的确做得很出彩。如果你是??简奥斯汀的书迷,你一定不能错过这本书!
I absolutely love this book so far. I am over halfway through it and have not been disappointed one bit in all of the information in it. I admit I am only a reader of Austen fiction and have never studied in-depth about her life or the meaning behind her writings etc. but I have enjoyed years of reading her novels and have had several different versions pass through my hands over the years. This is a beautifully packaged hard-back book that (as the title says), takes you through 200 years of covered prints of Jane Austen’s books. Each print gives a little information about the publisher, the thought process of the depiction on the cover and a bit about Austen’s life. Some of the covers made me laugh because they seemed to have nothing to do with the actual story, but others were pretty spot-on. If you are a Jane Austen fan then this is a definite "must-have" book for your collection!
