Historias de Janeaustin

[#110 in Historical Fiction! 03/03/2017] Beautiful girls in exquisite dresses. Handsome men with dishonorable intentions. Add in jazz and booze and you have the high society of Chicago 1922. With white lies and dark secrets Chicago's wealthiest families don't only bounce back and forth between the city and their country estates, they also alternate with ease between the extended pinkie tea parties during the day and scandalous speakeasies at night. Clara and Olivia Vandercroft are at the top of the social scene... or so it seems. When they find out that their position may not be so secure , suddenly everyone is against them to threaten their future - including Clara's social-climbing best friend, Virginia, who is tired of living in her shadow. When Virginia's envy boils over from being thwarted once again by the Vandercroft sisters, no one is safe. It's the roaring twenties, when morality is questioned, dark secrets prevail, and anything goes. Cover credited to: @nighttimemonsters #EWA2017

"Pride and Paal Payasam" is a retelling of Pride and Prejudice, set in the heart of rural Tamil Nadu. In the bustling home of the Ramaswamy family, tradition and modernity clash over tumblers of coffee and half-burnt dosas. Bhanumathi, the ever-dramatic mother, is on a mission to marry off her three very different daughters: gentle nurse Janaki, strong-willed coder Latha, and impulsive Yamuna. But when a charming doctor and a mysterious entrepreneur move into the neighborhood, does the mother determined to hear nadhaswaram sound too early. With a dash of romance, a spoonful of sarcasm, and a whole lot of cultural chaos, this tale serves up a modern twist on Jane Austen's classic-where love might just be the most unexpected dish on the menu along with a sickly sweet cup of payasam.

Mr Darcy and his socializing problems

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that romance is often a bumpy road, whether you are wearing argyle socks ...or not.

Adeline Chase, a bright college student, has never been one to meddle with love. After entering a seemingly harmless contest, she winds up with her own personal matchmaker who is determined to change Addy's mind about love. Cara Devine has only ever thought about other people's happy endings. Why settle down when you still have so much going for you. When a desparate prince lands on her doorstep, begging for her matchmaking expertise, can Cara help but getting in way over her head?

Here are some of the chapters of the novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin, rewritten from Mr. Darcy's point of view. In order to present the character's development throughout the book, I chose one chapter from the beginning, one from the middle and one from the end. This was for an English class project and I thought to share it. Enjoy :)

This is a book report from my 11th grade English class. I'm posting it in case anyone forgot to read the book and needs help with what it is all about. I've been there and it sucks. Well, here you are, folks! It was also a timed report, meaning that I only had thirty minutes.

"Lily" I answered. "That's not a name, that's a flower" I scoffed brushing off the comment "and what of your name sir?" "Fitzwilliam Darcy" "How humourless, it seems I cannot tease you about yours... a shame for i dearly love to laugh"
