365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #271 (for Thursday): Jane Austen: The Complete Works

I absolutely love reading Jane Austen's novels, the stories are so wonderful. Austen had a way with words she had this way with writing that can make you feel so much. There are times in her stories where you are laughing at some of the ridiculous things the characters are doing to feeling all of their anguish.

Although, I have various paperback editions sitting on my bookcase I've always wanted a hardcover set. I would love to buy this but at the moment it's a little pricey for me, it's nearly $100 (and that's not including tax). So for now, I will add it to my wishlist with hopes of buying it later.

Book: Jane Austen: The Complete Works: Classics Hardcover Boxed Set (A Penguin Classics Hardcover) by Jane Austen

Description:

Few novelists have conveyed the subtleties and nuances of their own social milieu with the wit and insight of Jane Austen. Through her vivacious and spirited heroines and their circle, she painted vivid portraits of English middle-class life as the eighteenth century came to a close. Each of these novels is a love story and a story about marriage — marriage for love, for financial security, for social status. But they are not mere romances. Ironic, comic, and wise, they are masterly studies of the society Austen observed.

The seven books in this box set — Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, and Love and Freindship (early writings and juvenilia) — contain some of the most brilliant, dazzling prose in the English language. Part of Penguin’s beautiful Hardcover Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.
