Northanger Abbey
A Classic Romantic Satire by Jane Austen
Description de l’éditeur
Published posthumously in 1817, Northanger Abbey is Jane Austen's delightful satire of Gothic fiction and youthful imagination. The novel follows Catherine Morland, a naive and enthusiastic young woman who loves sensational Gothic novels and dreams of mystery and romance.
Invited to stay at the grand estate of Northanger Abbey, Catherine's imagination begins to blur the line between fiction and reality as she suspects hidden secrets and dramatic conspiracies. Through gentle humor and sharp social observation, Austen explores themes of love, friendship, self-discovery, and the dangers of allowing fantasy to overshadow reason.
Lighthearted yet insightful, Northanger Abbey combines romance and wit, offering readers a charming coming-of-age story wrapped in Austen's signature elegance and irony.
