Marking the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, What Matters in Jane Austen? solves the mysteries of Austen’s fictional world. Jane Austen’s novels have been a staple of the English canon since the nineteenth century. Yet critics of the time did not appreciate the true complexity of her work.

The work mixes magic, culture, mystery, memoir, history, melodrama — it is an invocation, an evocation, with dreamlike freedom of movement between past and present, from personal to universal.

Laconice, prozele din acest volum amintesc de opera lui Faulkner și de scriitori precum marii tragici ai lumii clasice: García Márquez îl cita adesea pe Sofocle în această privință.

Camí de sirga és un quadre de Brueghel on cada personatge pogués parlar. El llibre comença amb l’enderrocament de la casa número 20 de la baixada de la Ferradura, que desencadena la fi de la vila vella de Mequinensa.

Une chercheuse craignant de devenir folle mène une enquête pour tenter de rompre le silence qui entoure la maladie de son arrière-grand-mère Elisabeth, dite Betsy, diagnostiquée schizophrène dans les années 1950. La narratrice ne dispose, sur cette femme morte avant sa naissance, que de quelques légendes familiales dont les récits fluctuent. C'est à peu près tout. Les enfants d'Elisabeth ne parlent jamais de leur mère entre eux et ils n'en parlent pas à leurs enfants qui n'en parlent pas à leurs petits-enfants. "C'était un nom qu'on ne prononçait pas.
