Jane O'stan (1775–1817) was an English writer, a herald of realism in British literature, a satirist, and wrote so-called novels of manners. Her books are recognized masterpieces that combine simplicity of plot, deep psychological insight into the souls of the characters and ironic, soft, truly “English” humor. At the beginning of the 19th century, she wrote her novels with grace, depth and wisdom, which saved the genre of the novel from the stigma of “frivolity” taught many generations of readers and writers that a book does not require pompous monumentality to be profound. Ironically, Jane Austen turned everyday life into books. This edition includes novels collected in chronological order. * * *As a bonus, the reader is offered the novel “Longbourn” by Joe Baker. The heroes of this book live in the same house with the heroes of “Pride and Prejudice” . But not on the upper floors, but on the lower floor - “under the stairs,” as they used to say in good old England. These are those who are mentioned only briefly in Jane Austen, mostly remaining “behind the scenes.” Those who cook, wash, and clean serve the Bennet family and work on the Longbourn estate. The life of the servants is subject to a strict routine - the estate is large, there is always a ton of work to do, and by the evening everyone falls off their feet from fatigue. But youth is youth. And love also lives on the lower floors... Masterfully maintaining the style of the original principle, Joe Baker, in the scenery once created by Jane Austen, stages his own, absolutely original “play”.
