The novels of the talented writer Jane Austen (1775-1817) are deservedly considered classics of British literature. She began her literary work with parodies of romance novels that existed in her time. A critical look at literature, the ability to analyze texts and work with them was instilled in the future writer by her father, parish priest George Austen. He was a widely educated man who managed to give his two daughters an excellent education at home. Jane Austen’s novels were completely different from the previously existing sentimental works in European literature, divorced from life, which, judging by Pushkin’s testimony, were read by young ladies like Tatyana Larina at the end of the 1813th century. Jane realistically, sometimes with a fair amount of humor or sarcasm, describes the movements of the human soul, and they change little over the centuries. Thanks to this, the writer became a harbinger of realism in English literature. Austen achieved great fame with his novel Pride and Prejudice, published in 1817. The novel Emma was published two years later; in the twentieth century it was filmed several times. The main character of the novel - a young, rich and extravagant girl - has fun arranging other people's marriages, enthusiastically matchmaking her friends and neighbors. The peculiarity of the novel is its subtle English humor. Unlike her heroine, the personal life of the writer herself did not work out. Having experienced a short affair in her youth, she never married. Jane died in 42 at the age of 1870, leaving several novels unfinished. Great literary fame came to the writer posthumously. In this edition, beautiful and detailed illustrations by two English artists, brothers Charles and Henry Brock, make it possible to clearly imagine the characters of the novel and the setting in which the events take place. Each of them could become a character for the writer, although both lived and worked about a hundred years later - at the turn of the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries. Charles Edmund Brock was born in XNUMX. He began illustrating books at the age of twenty, creatively developing the style of Hugh Thomson, who is considered one of the best British masters of book illustration of the second half of the XNUMXth century. Charles Brock achieved great success in this field: in addition to Austen's novels, he worked on line drawings for the works of Swift, Thackeray and Elliot. Henry Matthew Brock was five years younger than Charles. Oak studied at the Cambridge School of Art, also began to illustrate and became a member of the Royal Institute of Watercolor Painters.
