BOOK / FAR FROM CASSANDRA. Jane Austen

NARRATIVE

Like an indiscreet window, Jane Austen's letters to her sister Cassandra provide a fascinating glimpse into the author's life. Love affairs, social occasions, visits to neighbors, outings to the theater: tiny everyday details that reveal the most intimate side of Austen's world and help us reconstruct the personality of one of the most important authors in the history of literature. In this original epistolary selection, the reader finds a valuable key to Austen's private life and, at the same time, a glimpse of her overwhelming literary talent, applied here to the delicate art of letter writing, which, in the writer herself's words, "consists in knowing how to express on paper exactly what one would say to the person if one were speaking to them."
