While Elinor is thoughtful, considerate, and calm, her younger sister is emotional and wildly romantic. Both are looking for a husband, but neither Elinor\u2019s reason nor Marianne\u2019s passion can lead them to perfect happiness\u2014as Marianne falls for an unscrupulous rascal and Elinor becomes attached to a man who\u2019s already engaged.<\/p>\n<p>Startling secrets, unexpected twists, and heartless betrayals interrupt the marriage games that follow. Filled with satiric wit and subtle characterizations, Sense and Sensibility teaches that true love requires a balance of reason and emotion.<\/p>\n<p>Price: 6,5 GEL<\/p>\n<a href=\" http:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/catalogue\/shop\/macmillan\/sense-and-sensibility\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button small blue\">Buy the Book<\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/pride.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2660\" alt=\"pride\" src=\"http:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/pride-195x300.jpg\" width=\"195\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/pride-195x300.jpg 195w, https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/pride-190x291.jpg 190w, https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/pride.jpg 261w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" \/><\/a><strong>Pride and Prejudice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Author: Jane Austen<\/p>\n<p>ISBN: 9780141199078<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.&#8217; Thus memorably begins Jane Austen&#8217;s Pride and Prejudice, one of the world&#8217;s most popular novels. Pride and Prejudice\u2014Austen&#8217;s own &#8216;darling child&#8217;\u2014tells the story of fiercely independent Elizabeth Bennet, one of five sisters who must marry rich, as she confounds the arrogant, wealthy Mr. Darcy. What ensues is one of the most delightful and engrossingly readable courtships known to literature, written by a precocious Austen when she was just twenty-one years old.<\/p>\n<p>Humorous and profound, and filled with highly entertaining dialogue, this witty comedy of manners dips and turns through drawing-rooms and plots to reach an immensely satisfying finale. In the words of Eudora Welty, Pride and Prejudice is as &#8216;irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Price: 14,9 GEL<\/p>\n<a href=\" http:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/catalogue\/shop\/englishlibrary\/pride-and-prejudice-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button small blue\">Buy the Book<\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/northanger.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2661\" alt=\"northanger\" src=\"http:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/northanger-195x300.jpg\" width=\"195\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/northanger-195x300.jpg 195w, https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/northanger-667x1024.jpg 667w, https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/northanger-190x291.jpg 190w, https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/northanger-280x429.jpg 280w, https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/northanger-445x682.jpg 445w, https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/northanger-600x920.jpg 600w, https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/northanger.jpg 1524w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" \/><\/a><strong>Northanger Abbey<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Author: Jane Austen<\/p>\n<p>ISBN: 9780141389424<\/p>\n<p>A wonderfully entertaining coming-of-age story, Northanger Abbey is often referred to as Jane Austen\u2019s \u201cGothic parody.\u201d Decrepit castles, locked rooms, mysterious chests, cryptic notes, and tyrannical fathers give the story an uncanny air, but one with a decidedly satirical twist.<\/p>\n<p>The story\u2019s unlikely heroine is Catherine Morland, a remarkably innocent seventeen-year-old woman from a country parsonage. While spending a few weeks in Bath with a family friend, Catherine meets and falls in love with Henry Tilney, who invites her to visit his family estate, Northanger Abbey. Once there, Catherine, a great reader of Gothic thrillers, lets the shadowy atmosphere of the old mansion fill her mind with terrible suspicions. What is the mystery surrounding the death of Henry\u2019s mother? Is the family concealing a terrible secret within the elegant rooms of the Abbey? Can she trust Henry, or is he part of an evil conspiracy? Catherine finds dreadful portents in the most prosaic events, until Henry persuades her to see the peril in confusing life with art.<\/p>\n<p>Executed with high-spirited gusto, Northanger Abbey is the most lighthearted of Jane Austen\u2019s novels, yet at its core this delightful novel is a serious, unsentimental commentary on love and marriage.<\/p>\n<p>Price: 14,9 GEL<\/p>\n<a href=\" http:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/catalogue\/shop\/englishlibrary\/northanger-abbey-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button small blue\">Buy the Book<\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/persuasion.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2662\" alt=\"persuasion\" src=\"http:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/persuasion-194x300.jpg\" width=\"194\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/persuasion-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/persuasion-190x293.jpg 190w, https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/persuasion.jpg 259w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/><\/a><strong>Persuasion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Author: Jane Austen<\/p>\n<p>ISBN: 9780230735125<\/p>\n<p>In her final novel, as in her earlier ones, Jane Austen uses a love story to explore and gently satirize social pretensions and emotional confusion. Persuasion follows the romance of Anne Elliot and naval officer Frederick Wentworth. They were happily engaged until Anne\u2019s friend, Lady Russell, persuaded her that Frederick was \u201cunworthy.\u201d Now, eight years later, Frederick returns, a wealthy captain in the navy, while Anne\u2019s family teeters on the edge of bankruptcy. They still love each other, but their past mistakes threaten to keep them apart.<\/p>\n<p>Austen may seem to paint on a small canvas, but her characters contain the full range of human passion and moral complexity, and the author\u2019s generous spirit renders them all with understanding, compassion, and humor.<\/p>\n<p>Price: 6,5 GEL<\/p>\n<a href=\" http:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/catalogue\/shop\/macmillan\/persuasion\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button small blue\">Buy the Book<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To celebrate Jane Austen, we\u2019d like to ask, which book &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2658,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[731],"tags":[182,495,556,507,250,981,496,505,624],"class_list":["post-2657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-whichbookwouldyouread-bookoftheweek-themes-themeoftheweek-quotes-inspirationalquotes","tag-english-book-in-georgia","tag-jane-austen","tag-macmillan-readers","tag-northanger-abbey","tag-penguin-books","tag-persuasion","tag-pride-and-prejudice","tag-sense-and-sensibility","tag-which-book-would-you-read","cat_731"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2657"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2657\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2681,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2657\/revisions\/2681"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
