Northanger Abbey

Jane Austen's brilliant parody of the Gothic novels fashionable at that time! The heroine of "Northanger Abbey", young Catherine Morland, comes from a family that is neither rich nor poor. You can't call her educated, but she devours Anne Radcliffe's novels with gusto. When the girl reaches the age when it is decent to start taking a young girl out into the world, she and her good-natured guardians go to the fashionable resort of Bath, an ideal place to find a suitable match, where she meets the Thorpe and Tilney families. Catherine, whose head is stuffed with the adventures of unfortunate maidens in Gothic castles, where ghosts and criminals lurk for them, can by no means be called stupid or shallow! Despite her naivety, she is incredibly sincere, kind and compassionate. What does the invitation of new friends to the majestic Northanger Abbey promise a young provincial girl: love, friendship, loyalty, or horror and disappointment? Northanger Abbey is a witty and ironic novel by Jane Austen, which unsurpassedly explores the subtleties of human relationships.
