{"product_id":"a-abadia-de-northanger-edicao-de-bolso","title":"Northanger Abbey (Paperback)","description":"\"Jane Austen pokes fun at a genre very popular in her time: so-called Gothic literature, a precursor to horror as we know it today, with its unrealistic stories, heroines so sickeningly sweet, scoundrels more terrifying than any villain on a soap opera, and hauntings as impressive as those in Wes Craven's films.\" Julia Romeu, excerpt from the preface to \"An Austen Horror\" Catherine Morland visits the spa town of Bath, England, for the first time, a place also frequented by Jane Austen and her family. In the city, Catherine meets two very different young men, John Thorpe and Henry Tillney, who take an interest in her. Henry's father, General Tillney, invites her to visit one of his estates, Northanger Abbey. Catherine, a lover of Gothic novels, is fascinated by the prospect of experiencing an ancient, fantastical, and dark environment. Northanger Abbey represents Jane Austen's ability to parody the society of her time with subtle humor. Young Catherine is a provincial girl, naive and always ready to idealize. The chapters are filled with scenes of balls, adolescent worries and passions, and youthful daydreams, and reality is constantly reinterpreted through Catherine's fantasies and her dreamy, protagonist-heroine gaze. Translated and foreword by Julia Romeu. BestBolso also published Austen's Pride and Prejudice.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176772255996,"sku":"9788577992003","price":39.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/54004f201bb4704a345a531f17fa3aab.jpg?v=1778325324","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/a-abadia-de-northanger-edicao-de-bolso","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
