	Northanger Abby Rh Us (Paperback) by Jane Austen
	Price : Rs 325.00
	Your Price : Rs 260.00

The earliest of her six major novels, NorthangerAbbey remained unpublished until after Jane Austen`s death. A deliciously witty satire of popular Gothic romances, it is perhaps Austen`s lightest, most delightful excursion into a young woman`s world. Catherine Morland, an unlikely heroine”unlikely because she is so ordinary”forsakes her English village for the pleasures and perils of Bath. There, among a circle of Austen`s wonderfully vain, dissembling, and fashionable characters, she meets a potential suitor, Henry Tilney. But with her imagination fueled by melodramatic novels, Catherine turns a visit to his home, Northanger Abbey, into a hunt for dark family secrets. The result is a series of hilarious social gaffes and harsh awakenings that for all of Austen`s youthful exuberance nevertheless conveys her mature vision of literature and life”and the consequences of mistaking one for the other.
