Sanditon

Discover the fantastic world of Jane Austen: Her three unfinished novels, her early works, and five letters united for the first time in one book!

Three unfinished novels, three completely different stories: While young Emma in "The Watsons" must return to her impoverished family and adapt to entirely new circumstances, Lady Susan is already a mature woman. In the sharp-tongued epistolary novel, the widow seems to achieve every romantic goal with as much charm as cunning. The draft of "Sanditon" presents numerous lovable and quirky characters that make the picturesque location on the Sussex coast an interesting holiday destination and the scene for various romantic entanglements.

The stories are complemented by Jane Austen's early works, consisting of plays, stories, and ideas that the author wrote between the ages of 11 and 17. They showcase great creativity, imagination, wit, and the desire to surprise and provoke her readers. Five elaborately designed extras from the world of Jane Austen and five engaging letters complete the volume.

In this deluxe edition, the unfinished novels and early works of the world-famous author appear together for the first time – in a new translation and lavishly illustrated by Marjolein Bastin.
