Mansfield Park
by Jane AustenThe heroine of Mansfield Park is Fanny Price. She's been raised by her wealthy aunt and uncle, but has no money and no real marital prospects herself. When family friends, the lively and appealing siblings Henry and Mary Crawford, come to stay, Mansfield Park is transformed into a different place. Henry takes an interest in Fanny, and so begins a series of romantic entanglements between Fanny, her cousins, and the Crawfords. It has been argued that this is the most controversial of Austen's novels, and Fanny is a much discussed character.

Mansfield Park: ( Annotated ) (Modern Library Classics)
by Jane AustenBegun in 1811 at the height of Jane Austen's writing powers and published in 1814, Mansfield Park marks a conscious break from the tone of her first three novels, Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, and Pride and Prejudice, the last of which Austen came to see as 'rather too light.' Fanny Price is unlike any of Austen's previous heroines, a girl from a poor family brought up in a splendid country house and possessed of a vast reserve of moral fortitude and imperturbability. She is very different from Elizabeth Bennet, but is the product of the same inspired imagination. Mansfield Park shows Austen as a mature novelist with an almost unparalleled ability to render character and an acute awareness of her world and how it was changing. Through the stories of Fanny Price, the Bertrams, and the Crawfords, she tackles the themes of faith and constancy and the threat that metropolitan manners could pose to a rural way of life. Mansfield Park is as amusing as any of Austen's novels, but, according to the critic Tony Tanner, it is also arguable that it is 'her most profound novel (indeed... it is one of the most profound novels of the nineteenth century).'
Mansfield Park: A Jane Austen Entertainment
by Jane Austen Joan AikenAt the age of ten, Fanny Price leaves the poverty of her Portsmouth home to be brought up among the family of her wealthy uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram, in the chilly grandeur of Mansfield Park. She gradually falls in love with her cousin Edmund, but when the dazzling and sophisticated Crawfords arrive, and amateur theatricals unleash rivalry and sexual jealousy, Fanny has to fight to retain her independence. This new edition places Mansfield Park in its Regency context and elucidates the theatrical background that pervades the novel.

Mansfield Park: The Illustrated Edition
by Jane AustenThis special edition of Mansfield Park includes the famous illustrations by Henry Matthew Brock, originally created in 1898. Brock and his brothers were all successful illustrators of the day and often posed for each other using costumes, props and furniture in their Cambridge studio. Brock's older brother Charles joined him in illustrating other Jane Austen releases for this set of 1898 editions. Mansfield Park is Jane Austen's version of a Cinderella story. Fanny Price is a poor relation living with her rich uncle and aunt, Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram, and their children. Edmund, the second son, is the only one who treats her with kindness and they develop a strong bond, until the dashing Henry Crawford and his lovely sister Mary come to visit. The Crawfords are outwardly charming, but their indifferent upbringing leaves them unable to distinguish right from wrong, and Fanny must watch her beloved Edmund almost fall into Mary's trap. Fanny Price is meek and mild, and unfailingly good. When the Crawfords introduce risky activities into her social set, she tries to prevent disaster, but the production of a play leads all the members of the family astray and Edmund almost falls irretrievably in love with the beautiful Mary. Fanny watches with trepidation and much pain, until Edmund's own high sense of morality brings him to the right conclusions about which is the better woman, on the inside.
Mansfield Park: The Wild and Wanton Edition, Volume 1
by Jane Austen Nina MitchellWhen she is 10 years old, Fanny Price is sent from her poor and large family to Mansfield Park, where she is to be raised by her wealthy aunt and uncle, Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram. Though she grows up in the same home as her four older cousins, she is often treated as a poor and ignorant relation, similar to a servant, and is not afforded the same advances into society as her more privileged relatives.But there is one among her relations who treats her as an equal. Edmund is the second son and the kind-hearted soul of the family. It is not long before Fanny's childhood appreciation of Edmund's kindness is transformed into a romantic love more suited to the young woman she's become. But the fashionably wealthy and attractive brother and sister, Henry and Mary Crawford, arrive at Mansfield and create turmoil for the entire Bertram family - Mary falls for Edward, and Henry falls for all of the female cousins, though he tries to convince Fanny (and himself) that his heart belongs only to her. Will any hearts be spared?Though often described as the least romantic of Austen's six novels, Mansfield Park comes to life when Fanny's true romantic and passionate nature is revealed. Indeed before Edmund's eyes Fanny's passion and beauty surpasses that of her new and sophisticated friend, Miss Crawford. And it appears that the overly moralistic Edmund has some untapped passion of his own. Can the pursuit of pleasure be enough to bring this romance to a new level?Sensuality Level: Sensual

Manslaughter Park (Jane Austen Murder Mysteries #3)
by Tirzah PriceIn this queer retelling of the classic novel and third book in Tirzah Price's Jane Austen Murder Mystery series, Mansfield Park is the center of a deadly accident (or is it?). Perfect for fans of the Lady Janies and Stalking Jack the Ripper. Aspiring artist Fanny Price is an unwelcome guest at her uncle Sir Thomas Bertram’s estate. It’s his affection for Fanny that’s keeping her from being forced out by her cousins Tom and Maria and nasty Aunt Norris, back to a home to which she never wants to return. But then Sir Thomas dies in a tragic accident inside his art emporium, and Fanny finds evidence of foul play that, if revealed, could further jeopardize her already precarious position.Edmund, her best friend and secret crush, urges Fanny to keep quiet about her discovery, but Fanny can’t ignore the truth: a murderer is among them.Determined to find the killer, Fanny’s pursuit for justice has her wading into the Bertram family business, uncovering blackmail, and brushing with London’s high society when Henry and Mary Crawford arrive at Mansfield Park with an audacious business proposal. But a surprising twist of fate—and the help of local legends Lizzie Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy—brings Fanny more complications than she ever expected and a life-altering realization about herself she never saw coming.“Pride and Premeditation is a romantic and entertaining page-turner, sure to delight readers of any genre.” —Kerri Maniscalco, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series

Manuscrito hallado en la calle Sócrates
by Rupert RankeEl debut de un enigmático autor suizo: una fascinante historia de intriga y amor en el corazón de Grecia. Un juego borgeano de cajas chinas. «Rey Rosa descubre con esta novela a un escritor sin huellas, ni sombra, ni casi referencias, pero autor de una historia insólita y poderosa donde pasión, tragedia y melancolía arden en todas direcciones. [...]. Si en literatura algo trae el eco de Rey Rosa, merece ser llamado literatura.»Antonio Lucas En Atenas, ciudad en la que Rodrigo Rey Rosa reside actualmente, Teodora Jaramillo de Quirós, una turista guatemalteca, reconoce a su compatriota y le presenta a su acompañante, Rupert Ranke, un hasta el momento desconocido autor suizo que llevará al autor de Severina y El material humano a su piso de la capital griega para incitarlo a editar este libro. Hasta aquí la historia de un afortunado hallazgo editorial; vayamos ahora ala novela: Ranke, historiador de la cultura clásica y guía turístico, no tarda en quedar cautivado por el encanto de la bella Teodora, de viaje por Grecia con su marido, y su melancólica obsesión por El pequeño refugiado, una escultura de mármol que ha visto en el Museo Arqueológico de Atenas y que es el vivo retrato de su hijo, desaparecido misteriosamente a los cuatro años. La crítica ha dicho...«Rey Rosa descubre con esta novela a un escritor sin huellas, ni sombra, ni casi referencias, pero autor de una historia insólita y poderosa donde pasión, tragedia y melancolía arden en todas direcciones. Rey Rosa es un maestro de la fuga, aunque aquí solo es el mensajero de un autor enigmático y de una novela hecha de pasión, melancolías y desapariciones con Grecia como revelación, como destino. Si en literatura algo trae el eco de Rey Rosa, merece ser llamado literatura.»Antonio Lucas «El manuscrito de un suizo alemán contiene el cuentode un griego argentino y refiere las aventuras de unos guatemaltecos a quienes la pandemia detiene en Atenas tras un glorioso periplo por la Hélade. El fantasma de un hijo perdido es reencontrado en la estatuilla de un museo arqueológico.
