Synopsis "Lejos de Cassandra"

Como una ventana indiscreta, las cartas de Jane Austen a su hermana Cassandra proporcionan una mirada fascinante sobre la vida de la autora. Relaciones amorosas, ocasiones mundanas, visitas a vecinos, salidas al teatro: minúsculos detalles cotidianos que nos desvelan la faceta más íntima del mundo de Austen y nos ayudan a reconstruir la persona- lidad de una de las autoras más impor- tantes de la historia de la literatura. En esta original selección epistolar, el lector encuentra una valiosa llave de acceso a la vida privada de Austen y al mismo tiempo un destello de su abrumador talento literario, aplicado aquí al delicado arte de escribir cartas, que, en palabras de la misma escritora, «consiste en saber expresar en el papel exactamente lo mismo que uno diría a la persona si estuviera hablando con ella».

View Author's Page

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
