Overview

En los albores del siglo XIX, viajamos de la mano de Jane Austen a Sanditon, una localidad costera decidida a convertirse en el reclamo turístico del momento: un balneario excepcional para recibir a la más alta sociedad, un lugar de recreo y sanatorio gracias a las virtudes del mar. Allí, asistiremos a la pugna de sus personajes por lograr ubicar Sanditon en el mapa. En pleno cambio social, la autora, sagaz observadora, desenfunda el sable de su afilada ironía y retrata a una comunidad excéntrica, dividida entre personajes pretenciosos y arrogantes. Sanditon es su última e inconclusa novela y un regalo póstumo para sus lectores.

At the dawn of the 19th century, we travel with Jane Austen to Sanditon, a coastal town determined to become the tourist attraction of the moment: an exceptional spa ready to receive the highest society, a place of recreation and sanatorium thanks to the virtues of the sea. However, readers will witness the struggle of her characters to locate Sanditon on the map. Amid social change, the author draws the saber of her sharp irony and portrays an eccentric community, divided between pretentious and arrogant characters. Sanditon is her last, unfinished novel and a posthumous gift to her readers.
