(Original, Unabridged Classic, Premium Hardbound Collector's Edition, Ideal for Gifting)
Jane Austen
"Drama is to life what ships are to the sea. A means to traverse it. To plumb its depths, breadth, and beauty."
Fanny Price arrives at Mansfield Park at the age of ten, taken from poverty to live with wealthy cousins who largely ignore her. She grows up gentle, perceptive, and steadfast — qualities the Bertram family have little time for until a series of moral crises reveals how much they have underestimated her. The arrival of the charming Crawford siblings sets off a season of amateur theatricals, romantic entanglements, and quiet catastrophe.
Widely considered Austen's most morally serious and complex novel, Mansfield Park asks hard questions about character, ambition, and the cost of self-deception. It is the Austen that resists easy charm — and rewards rereading more than any other. The Penguin Select Classics edition positions Fanny as Austen's most sensitive and brave heroine.
This premium hardbound collector's edition with sprayed edges presents Austen's original, unabridged text — a distinguished addition to any Austen collection.
