A selection of Austen's dark and hilarious early writings - featuring murder, drunkenness, perjury, theft, poisoning, women breaking out of prison, men forging wills and babies biting off their mothers' fingers...
Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions.
Jane Austen (1775-1817). Austen's works available in Penguin Classics are Emma, Lady Susan, The Watsons and Sanditon, Love and Freindship and Other Youthful Writings, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.

Eine etwas wirre, teilweise clevere Novellensammlung
Dieses Buch enthält sechs kurze Erzählungen, welche in Größe, Detail und Rafinesse stark abweichen. Während mir vier Novellen gefallen haben, sind die übrigen Erzählungen meiner Empfindung nach nicht besonders interessant oder spannend geschrieben. Dieses Buch liest sich vermutlich auch besser, wenn eine Novelle pro Tag gelesen wird, was ich jedoch nicht getan habe.
The Beautifull Cassandra, Jane Austen 2.5/5 I've only ever heard of Austen's more popular writings, so when I saw this publication from browsing the PLBC collection I was intrigued to read something from her I haven't heard of before and even more so after finding out these are writings from her years as a teenager. Not correcting her spelling errors adds to giving the whole collection a certain charm and while PLBCs cost so little, I'll most likely add a paperback version to my bookshelf nonetheless.
