The Meeting of Important Trifles. Letters to Sister and Loved Ones

Jane Austen created several novels without which not only English but also world literature is unimaginable. «Pride and Prejudice», «Sense and Sensibility», «Emma» — for over two hundred years this remarkably charming classic has been winning new generations of readers... and breaking records for the number of adaptations of works by a single author.
Jane Austen lived tragically little — just forty-one years, and yet her biography is extremely similar to the lives of her lovely heroines — just as quiet and unhurried, but full of passion, joys, and sorrows hidden behind the facade of politeness.
The correspondence of Jane with her relatives and loved ones is a true gift for fans of the writer's work: in discussing everyday matters, Miss Austen is marked by the observation and incomparable humor that characterize her works. It is commonly believed that one of the writer's favorite correspondents — her devoted sister Cassandra destroyed some of her letters, which she deemed too personal and unsuitable for prying eyes. Therefore, the surviving fragments of this correspondence, which served Jane Austen as a window to the world and a source of inspiration, are all the more valuable, captivating, charming, and sparklingly witty, as if they were yet another unpublished novel.
