Jane Austen, però, è ineguagliabile, anche quando altri autori le si avvicinano con il massimo rispetto. Come già in Orgoglio e pregiudizio, Nancy Butler ha adattato questo classico a volte mantenendo le stesse parole della scrittrice inglese. La trama è fedele all'originale di Jane Austen. In generale non mi piace molto la pratica fumettistica di far disegnare copertine e storia da artisti diversi, ed in questo caso il contrasto tra i disegni di Julian Totino Tedesco (che si è occupato delle cinque copertine degli albi) e quelli di Janet Lee (che si è occupata della storia) è enorme.ĭevo ammettere, però, che superato il disappunto iniziale ho cominciato ad apprezzare i disegni più spiritosi di Janet Lee, che ben si adattano alla storia fresca e simpatica di Catherine Morland e Henry Tilney. La mia delusione è stata grande quando, aprendo il libro, ho trovato delle illustrazioni diverse. Their expressions and movements were fun.Īll in all, I had a good time reading this as a diverting way to enjoy a familiar and loved story.Īvevo questa graphic novel in casa da un po' ed ammetto che mi ero affezionata alle bellissime immagini di copertina e di quarta.
The artistic renderings took a bit for me to get used to, but the artist had obviously paid attention to description so that the characters were easily known. It is an abbreviation of the original yet all the highlights are there giving the spirit and heart of the story. The storyline and dialogue are lively and interesting. There her adventure begins which leads to amusements, friendships, misunderstandings, and maybe love. The graphic novel follows the path of the original telling how young Catherine Morland journeyed to Bath with the Allens, a couple from the neighborhood for his health. The author and artist do a fantastic job of recapturing the original story. For a fun re-read of the tale, I picked up this graphic novel. But there, influenced by novels of horror and intrigue, Catherine begins to think that terrible crimes are being committed, and her imagination threatens to run away with her.Jane Austen writes an endearing whimsical story about a young girl coming of age and her first encounters out in the world away from home. It tells the story of young, impressionable Catherine Morland, whose first experience of fashionable society introduces her to the thrills of Gothic romances, and to the sophisticated Tilneys, who invite her to their family home, Northanger Abbey. With its irrepressible heroine and playful literary games, Northanger Abbey is the most youthful and optimistic of Jane Austen's novels. 'Jane Austen is a genius, and Northanger Abbey is hugely underrated' Martin Amis
