Northanger Abbey
"Northanger Abbey" is Jane Austen's most ironic and playful book. Catherine loves reading "Gothic novels," and her whole life, as she thinks, is full of dark secrets and mysteries. Therefore, the old mansion in her eyes turns into a sinister nest of crime, and the charming young aristocrat into a demonic, mysterious villain. Only through love does Catherine gain a new perspective on reality and discover previously unknown aspects of life. Translator: I. S. Marshak.
