Notes From Your Bookseller

One of the first stories Jane Austen ever published, yet just as sharp and satirical as you’d expect from her. This epistolary novella is just as brilliant as all the other Austen you love.

''आपको लंबे जूते पहनने चाहिए।'' कुछ पल रुककर वह फिर बोले, ''लंबे जूते पहनने से एडि़याँ एकदम साफ रहती हैं। काले के साथ लंबे जूते बहुत अच्छे लगते हैं। या आपको लंबे जूते पसंद नहीं हैं?''
''हाँ, पर अगर वे इतने मजबूत हों कि वे आपके पैरों के सौंदर्य को नष्ट न होने दें। वे इस तरह देहात में घूमने के लिए उपयुत नहीं हैं।''
''खराब मौसम में महिलाओं को घुड़सवारी करनी चाहिए। या आप घुड़सवारी करती हैं?''
''नहीं, लॉर्ड।''
''मैं सोचता हूँ, आखिर प्रत्येक महिला यों नहीं करती? औरत घोड़े की पीठ पर बैठी सबसे अच्छी लगती है।''
''पर हो सकता है कि प्रत्येक महिला की रुचि या उसके पास साधन न हों।''
''अगर उन्हें यह पता हो कि वह उन्हें या बना देगा तो उनकी रुचि भी पैदा हो जाएगी और मैं सोचता हूँ, मिस वॉटसन, एक बार जब उनका झुकाव हो जाएगा तो साधन अपने आप बन जाएँगे।''

About the Author

About The Author
Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an acclaimed English novelist known for six major novels: Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, and Persuasion. Her writing style has been widely thought of as a cross between realist and romantic genres. Austen’s prose is poignant, and always features a strong-willed female protagonist. While sparing no detail depicting the lavishness of women in the English upper class, Austen also portrayed the reality of gendered social dynamics in the 19th century. Austen has been hailed as a heroine of her own time, in large part because most of the novels of the day were written by men. Indeed, her books portrayed a female narrative that was often overlooked in the catalog of male authors at the time. Austen’s novels gave an important voice to girls and women in literature, and it is for that reason, among countless others, that her works continue to inspire readers today.
