Summary

This Excellent Collection brings together Jane Austen's longer, major books and a fine selection of shorter pieces and Fiction Books. These Books created and collected in Jane Austen's Most important Works illuminate the life and work of one of the most individual writers of the XIX and XX century - a woman who elevated political writing to an art.

Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her use of biting irony, along with her realism, humour, and social commentary, have long earned her acclaim among critics, scholars, and popular audiences alike.

While not widely known in her own time, Jane Austen's comic novels of love among the landed gentry gained popularity after 1869, and her reputation skyrocketed in the 20th century. Her novels, including Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, are considered literary classics, bridging the gap between romance and realism.

    Five Children and It

    The story of three wishes being granted is an old one and often takes the form of a precautionary tale with the resultant moral being “be careful what you wish for!” Such is the fallibility of human nature that we can’t easily be trusted to use those wishes wisely. 
    The great children’s author Edith Nesbit (1858 – 1924) took this popular concept for her 1903 book “Five Children and It” and extended the wishes from three to eleven, now granted to five young siblings in Edwardian England. 
    They have no Geni of the Lamp or Fairy Godmother, but instead, an irascible Sand Fairy dug accidently out of the sand of an abandon quarry. This strange “Psammead”, with his snail’s eyes on stalks, furry squat body and aversion to water reluctantly grants the four children their, often ill thought out, wishes. 
    Nesbit writes with her usual warmth and humour, placing her protagonists into funny and sometimes frightening adventures which gradually make the children “wise beyond their years.” 
    Head Stories Audio presents "Five Children and It" by E. Nesbit. Narrated by Simon Hester. With original music.

    "Heart of Darkness," written by Joseph Conrad in the late 19th century, is a novella that follows Charles Marlow, a seaman on a journey up the Congo River to connect with a mysterious ivory trader named Kurtz. Through this quest, the story explores themes of imperialism, colonization, and the darkness within humanity. 
    The narrative begins aboard the Nellie, a cruising yawl anchored on the Thames River, where Marlow reflects on the river's historical significance and its connection to both the past and the present. He contemplates the vastness and mystery of the unknown world, in contrast to the familiar sights of London. As the story unfolds, we gain insights into Marlow’s character and his quest to uncover the enigmatic figure of Kurtz, who embodies the complex moral ambiguities of European colonialism. 
    The atmosphere grows increasingly heavy with foreshadowing, inviting readers to reflect on the deeper implications of Marlow's journey into the heart of darkness.
