Happy Birthday Jane Austen!

I made the acquaintance of Miss Austen in the summer of 2003. As a child I was a passionate reader and till the age of eleven I hardly went anywhere without bringing a book with me. However, I reached the age of seventeen ignoring the literary landscapes of Jane Austen’s world.
Is there anything more annoying for a free and passionate reader than a list of compulsory summer readings? It was with disappointment that I bought Pride and Prejudice as required by my teacher and started to read the introduction. I hated its light blue cover, the cheap greyish paper, its damaged pages. But there I was. Half a step from Miss Austen. Half a step from Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. Half a step from a world I’ve so often taken refuge in during the last seven years. For I must confess that the encounter with Pride and Prejudice has led me not only to like, but to plunge myself into its story. And I continued to swim book after book, in the waters of Devonshire with Elinor and Marianne, in Portsmouth with Fanny Price, in Highbury with Emma and in Bath with Anne Elliot and Catherine Morland. Whenever my heart is weak and my head is in need of peace I simply open the book that is closer to my state of mind and it helps me to heal the wounds. Happy birthday Jane, now the blue cover, the cheap greyish paper and the damaged pages are one of my most precious belongings.

Happy Birthday, Jane. I linked from my blog to yours. Long live Jane Austen. Just finished re-reading PERSUASION a few days ago.
I recommended Carol Shields bio of Austen for a fast, informative read.
