Description

Este volumen reúne dos piezas de Jane Austen no publicadas durante su vida, y Los Watson, que no sólo confirman sus cualidades como novelista, sino que constituyen una lectura deliciosa por derecho propio. En Lady Susan (escrita probablemente hacia 1793-1794), una viuda inteligente y bella, pero con pocos escrúpulos, pretende que su hija se case con un hombre al que detesta. Ella, por su parte, quiere a un tiempo atraer los favores del hermano de su cuñada y conservar a su antiguo amante. En Los Watson (1804), primera parte de una novela incompleta, la protagonista, una joven llamada a recibir una sustanciosa herencia pero despojada de ella, se debate entre un rico pretendiente y otro con menos medios económicos. Todos los aficionados a las novelas de Jane Austen podrán apreciar en estas breves piezas la vitalidad y el ingenio característicos de la autora.
