Synopsis "La Abadía de Northanger (in Spanish)"

Catherine Morland es una muchacha «tan corriente como la que más»: ni por espíritu ni por condición social está llamada a ser una heroína novelesca. y, sin embargo, las novelas son su debilidad. A los diecisiete años, tiende a ver la vida como una ficción perfectamente capaz de enredarla en sus marañas. Así, invitada por unos amigos, es presentada en sociedad en Bath y conoce a un joven apuesto y refinado, como en una novela sentimental. Luego, invitada por el padre del joven, pasa una temporada en una antigua abadía, donde sospecha que se cobijan terribles secretos, como en una novela gótica. Pero la realidad, que también tiene sus secretos, le revelará al fin un mundo acaso más absurdo y angustioso que el imaginado por la peor de sus fantasías.

View Author's Page

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
