JANE AUSTEN - A COMPANION
Book ID/图书代码： 00530014B76259
English Summary/英文概要： Two hundred years after her death, Jane Austen remains one of our best loved authors. Her six novels are constantly reprinted, translated, and filmed; and the opening line of Pride and Prejudice -’It is a truth universally acknowledged…’ - has passed into everyday usage. Yet, while the appeal of her fiction is timeless, the social and historical background against which she lived and wrote, and which plays so great a part in shaping her plots and characters, has long since vanished.
Opening with a brief account of her life, Jane Austen: A Companion is divided into eight chapters, on topics from fashion, love and marriage, and literature, to everyday Regency life, showing how they feature in her letters and novels, and contribute to the drama, humour and brilliant observations of human nature for which she is so celebrated.
Illuminating, informative, and above all entertaining, Jane Austen: A Companion is an indispensable guide for all who wish to know more about the world of Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, and the remarkable woman who two centuries ago created them.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 即便她已逝世200余年，可以说，简•奥斯汀仍然是我们最喜爱的作家之一。她的六部小说作品不断地被重印、翻译和拍摄成电影；而《傲慢与偏见》的开篇：这是一条举世公认的真理......一语可谓是在日常使用中随处可见。尽管其小说的魅力是超越时间的，然而那个她所生活和笔下的时代，那个对于她的情节构思和人物塑造有着巨大影响的时代历史背景，却已经永远的消失了。
《简•奥斯汀--陪伴者》开篇便对简•奥斯汀的生平进行了简述，随后全书分为八个章节依次展开，有关于时尚、爱情、婚姻、日常统治生活的话题，这些因素从侧面影响了作者的书信作品和小说，并让读者们能够对戏剧、幽默以及她所大力赞扬的对人性的敏锐观察产生更深刻的认识。
《简•奥斯汀--陪伴者》不仅让人豁然开朗、信息量丰富、令人读完乐趣无穷，同时，如果你想要知道更多关于达西先生和伊丽莎白•贝内特小姐的世界，以及这位在两个多世纪前便创造出他们的伟大女性，那么本书将成为你的不二选择。（DC）
