'Northanger Abbey', along with the novels 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Mansfield Park', 'Emma', belongs to the pen of the famous English writer Jane Austen, whose work has received widespread recognition throughout the world. Suffice it to note that among the admirers of her talent were W. Scott, W. Woolf, S. Maugham, J. B. Priestley and R. Aldington. But even now, Austen's books have not lost their charm and brilliance. They endure new editions, and new film adaptations appear all the time.
'Northanger Abbey' is the most ironic and most mischievous book by Jane Austen. Catherine loves reading 'Gothic novels', and her whole life, as it seems to her, is full of dark secrets and mysteries. And therefore, the old mansion turns in her eyes into an ominous nest of crime, and the charming young aristocrat - into a demonic, mysterious villain. Only through love does Catherine gain a new perspective on reality, and previously unknown aspects of life are revealed to her.
