(e)Book – Love and friendship

  (e) Book –  Love and friendship Full title :  Love and friendship and other early works Author : Jane Austen Score : /10 Year : 1790 (original) ; 2012 (this edition) Publisher : Duke Classics   ISBN  978-1-62012-155-9  // 9781620121559  (ebook)  Pages :  Language: English Jane Austen is best known for her 6 novels, which all have been adapted into tv movies - but after having read Virginia Woolf's short fiction in chronological order, I decided to apply the same for Austen's publications, to better appreciate her growth and evolution in narrative style. So, before reading her novels which were released from 1811 to 1817, in the following order :  Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma,  Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, I decided to go back to her teenage years, reading Love and Friendships, and other early works.

 This is a wink to Carole... as we shared a class some years ago (ABF,)  had to choose a topic in a draw and came across Art Nouveau. I knew only a little bit about it, so I had to research books treating this subject. Through my research,  I fell in love even more of this art current and this particular book, full of beauties ... The only regret: not having anything to materialize this!


This book is divided into 15 chapters, each concentrating on the presence of the Art Nouveau in a country - or city, with long texts and many photographs in very good quality, of works of art created in this style . It ends with the list of picture credits and an index.


To give you an idea, this book weighs over 2kg and measures 2.4 x 22 x 25.5 cm, 428 pages, and the good news is that it was reissued in 2015.
