Jane Austen

Jane Austen was definitely the best writer ever existed.Her works are 'Pride and Prejudice' (my favourite one),'Sense and Sensibility','Emma','Persuasion','Northanger Abbey' and 'Mansfield Park'.Although she lived until the beginning of the 19th century,she has a lot of fans nowadays and she's still the queen of love stories.Film adaptations of all her books were made throughout these years and the most famous are the 1995 versions of 'Pride and Prejudice' (starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle) and 'Sense and Sensibility' (starring Kate Winslet,Emma Thomson,Alan Rickman and Hugh Grant).Also,these two books were her most famous ones.Her most famous heroine is Lizzie Bennet and then Marianne Dashwood.Every girl that has read or seen 'Pride and Prejudice',must have surely fallen in love with Mr.Darcy,who is a really proud, but also a dark and mysterious man.
Jane was born in the 16th December 1775 and died in the 18th July 1817 from Addison's disease at the age of 41.Jane never got married.When she was 14,she wrote her first novel 'Love and Friendship'.Some years ago,she wrote 'First Impressions' (later 'Pride and Prejudice') which was unpublished,something which also happened with her other novel 'Susan' (later 'Northanger Abbey),which was published 14 years later ,posthumously.Her first novel to be published,was 'Sense and Sensibility',which was published anonymously such as all the other novels she had written during her lifetime.Then 'Mansfield Park','Emma' and 'First Impressions' (whose title was changed to 'Pride and Prejudice') got published.'Persuasion' (her last complete novel)and 'Northanger Abbey' were published in 1818,a year after her death.Before her death,Jane was working on her seventh novel 'Sanditon',which was never completed.
For more information,read her biography on Wiki and watch the film 'Becoming Jane' starring Anne Hathaway.You can also  attend the annually festival in England which is dedicated to Jane and her works every September's last week (for more information,visit janeaustencentre.com).
Please comment and tell me which is your Jane Austen's favourite book or film adaptation (or both) and why.Have a good day !!!! =)
