Los mejores libros jamás escritos.
La abadía de Northanger es quizá la novela más irónica y divertida de Jane Austen, maestra inigualable en la recreación de retablos sociales con hondo perfil humano.
Publicada originariamente en 1818, La abadía de Northanger narra la historia de Catherine Morland, una joven ingenua aficionada a la lectura de novelas góticas. Invitada por los Tilney a pasar una temporada en su casa de campo, se dedicará a investigar tortuosos e imaginarios secretos de familia. Pero cuando finalmente todo se aclare y comprenda que la vida no es una novela, la inocente Catherine pondrá los pies en la tierra y encauzará su futuro según dictan las normas morales y sociales de la época.
La presente edición incluye una detallada cronología de la autora así como una introducción a cargo de Marilyn Butler, reputada crítica literaria, y autora del ensayo Jane Austen and the War of Ideas (1975). Una nota biográfica escrita por el hermano de Jane Austen cinco meses después de su muerte hace las veces de colofón; un documento inédito que aporta fragmentos de sus últimas cartas y deja entrever el perfil más humano de una de las autoras más queridas de la literatura inglesa.
«Querida Miss Morland, ¿qué ideas ha estado usted alimentando?»
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Story
Persuasión narra la historia de una mujer madura, sensible y menospreciada, que años después de dejarse persuadir para rechazar al hombre que amaba, lo ve reaparecer en su vida, rico y honorable pero aún despechado. Quizá por primera vez en la historia de la novela, la mujer debe luchar para que el amor le conceda una segunda oportunidad. Esta obra de madurez está considerada una de las novelas más oscuras de Jane Austen, y es sin duda la más crítica con la sociedad de suépoca.

Al empezar El jilguero vamos enfocando una habitación de hotel en Amsterdam. Theo Decker lleva más de una semana encerrado entre esas cuatro paredes, fumando sin parar, bebiendo vodka y masticando miedo. Es un hombre joven, pero su historia es larga y ni él sabe muy bien por qué ha llegado hasta aquí.
¿Cómo empezó todo? Con una explosión en el Metropolitan Museum hace unos diez años y la imagen de un jilguero de plumas doradas, un cuadro espléndido del siglo XVII que desapareció entre el polvo y los cascotes.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
When two childhood best friends blow up their respective romantic relationships, they make a time-sensitive pact: serial-cheater Chuck cannot sleep with anyone as she attends a three-month-long recovery group for cheaters, while sex-deprived Sofia vows to hook up with as many people as possible before recommitting to monogamy and tying the knot with her long-time fiancé. To keep things interesting, Chuck and Sofia decide to revive a past tradition from their summer camp days—also known as the dawning of sluthood.

Story
Campbell Flynn, art historian, professor, and fêted fixture of the literati, always knew that when his life came crashing down, it would happen in public—yet he never imagined that a single year in London would expose so much. He’s never taken other people half as seriously as they take themselves, which is the first of his mistakes. The second is a new project: opportunistic and precisely calibrated to rake in a fortune.

Story
The True Story of The Coward Brothers follows two musical brothers – one English, one American, both the illegitimate sons of dubious parentage who may, as they claim to be, "one and half-brothers" – perhaps a reference to the disparity in their height and relative talents.

Story
In Made in America, Bryson de-mythologizes his native land, explaining how a dusty hamlet with neither woods nor holly became Hollywood, how the Wild West wasn't won, why Americans say 'lootenant' and 'Toosday', how Americans were eating junk food long before the word itself was cooked up, as well as exposing the true origins of the G-string, the original $64,000 question, and Dr Kellogg of cornflakes fame.

not my most favorite work of Jane Austen
I've heard the story in English. The translation was very well, so was the narrator.
