Jane Austen created several novels, without which not only English, but also world literature is inconceivable. "Pride and Prejudice," "Reason and Feelings," "Emma" — for more than two hundred years, this wonderfully charming classic has been gaining new generations of readers and breaking records for the number of film adaptations of works by one author. Jane Austen lived tragically little — only forty-one years old, and yet her biography is extremely similar to the lives of her lovely heroines — the same quiet and unhurried, but full of passion, joys and sorrows hidden behind the facade of good manners. Jane's correspondence with her family and friends is a real gift for fans of the writer's work: in discussing everyday affairs, Miss Austen is characterized by observation and incomparable humor, for which her works are famous. It is generally believed that one of the writer's favorite recipients, her devoted sister Cassandra, destroyed some of her letters, which she considered too personal and unsuitable for prying eyes. All the more valuable are the fragments of this correspondence that have come down to us, which served Jane Austen as a window into the world and a source of inspiration, fascinating, charming and sparkly witty, like another unpublished novel. For the first time in Russian!
