    About this audiobook

    The main heroines are sisters, Marianne and Elinor Dashwood, who have also a younger sister Margaret and an elder step brother John.

    At the beginning of the story Mr. Dashwood dies and Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters have to move from their home which now has become John´s property. Their budget is shoestring, so that they settle down in a small cottage in the country where Marianne and Elinor experience their first love and disappointment.

    Marianne is guided especially by her feelings and she blames her elder sister Elinor, who has a more rational view of the world, for being cold and reserved. But finally, she finds out that the sense and sensibility are not inevitably separated matters...

    Jane Austen

    Jane Austen nació en 1775 en Steventon (Hampshire), séptima de los ocho hijos del rector de la parroquia. Educada principalmente por su padre, empezó a escribir de muy joven, para recreo de la familia, y a los veintitrés años envió a los editores el manuscrito de La abadía de Northanger, que fue rechazado. Trece años después, en 1811, conseguiría publicar Juicio y sentimiento, a la que pronto seguirían Orgullo y prejuicio (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) y Emma (1816), que obtuvieron un gran éxito. Después de su muerte, acaecida prematuramente en 1817, y que le impidió concluir su novela SanditonLa abadía de Northanger, Persuasión (1818). Satírica, antirromántica, profunda y tan primorosa como mordaz, la obra de Jane Austen nace toda ella de una inquieta observación de la vida doméstica y de una estética necesidad de orden moral. «La Sabidu-ría –escribió una vez- es mejor que el Ingenio, y a la larga tendrá sin duda la risa de su parte.»
