Mansfield Park

Mansfield Park ocupa el centro exacto de la producción novelística de Jane Austen. Asentada como autora tras los éxitos de Sentido y sensibilidad y Orgullo y prejuicio, exhibe un estilo propio y reconocible, basado en el fino uso de la ironía y del retrato de personajes, pero ya se perciben el desencanto y la madurez de Persuasión. El personaje de Fanny es uno de los más fascinantes y complejos de toda la obra de Austen, y dota a la novela de una profundidad que parece anticipar el realismo y el naturalismo de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Todo ello hace de Mansfield Park un clásico de las letras inglesas que bien merece una relectura.

Mansfield Park is at the heart of Jane Austen's novel. Austen crafted gems such as Sentido y sensibilidad and Orgullo y prejuicio. She had a distinctive style that was based on irony and relatable characters. Fanny is one of the most fascinating and complex characters in Austen's novels; she brings a profound sense of realism and vividness to what the second half of the 19th century must have been like, and it all takes place in Mansfield Park. This English classic is a must-read for those that enjoy masterful storytelling.
