Jane Nora Begona

It is still fascinating to think that after 200 years, Jane Austen is still so present and true to our time. Her witty, sharp style goes beyond any decade and trend. I traced our beloved novelist from her early family life in Steventon to her later years in Bath, Southampton and Chawton, her worries, her intense relationship with her sister Cassandra.and friends like Martha Lloyd. We will also see the connections between her own life and her characters, as well as the places which inspired her for her famous novels. We will explore how a writer of such popularity now, had to suffer so much to be published. I invite you to come together and get enchanted by this woman; how other authors wrote about her, even Sir Charles Darwin dedicated a chapter to her. Let's take a journey to Austenland. Let's learn about life during the Regency. Let's take a stroll around those magical gardens where ladies used to go when they neede a quiet place to think. We will also explore about food, reading some recipes taken from Ms. Martha Lloyd Cookery book. A journey through letters, memoirs, and anecdotes. You will have a real picture and a better understanding how Jane Austen is still the most popular and beloved author of all times. A coffee table book, with full color paintings. A collectible not to miss.
