Synopsis "Los Watson Sanditon (in Spanish)"

Jane Austen pintó un ambiente y una época de manera extraordinaria, pero, sobre todo, logró retratar a sus personajes (en particular, a sus heroínas) con una gran profundidad. Tal vez por esto hoy tiene tantos lectores y en los últimos años se han hecho varias películas a partir de sus obras. Sanditon y Los Watson son dos novelas que la autora no llegó a terminar, en un caso por voluntad propia y en el otro por la enfermedad que acabó con su vida. En la primera de las obras, una chica vuelve a la casa de su familia después de vivir durante años con una tía. En la segunda, un hombre despliega su obsesión por atraer turistas a un balneario. Más allá de su atractivo en tanto ''curiosidad'' (infaltable para los fanáticos de la escritora y posible puerta de entrada para quienes no la han leído), estos textos tienen sin duda un valor propio y muestran la potencia narrativa de una prosis¬ta a la que se ha llegado a comparar con Shakespeare.

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
