Maria Grazia Plos
About this listen
Un grande classico ottocentesco della letteratura inglese, considerato dalla critica il capolavoro di Jane Austen e pubblicato per la prima volta anonimo nel 1815, "Emma" è l'ultimo romanzo che l'autrice diede alle stampe. La protagonista, da cui prende nome il romanzo, ha tutte le caratteristiche per sollevare antipatia, come dichiara l'autrice stessa, ma Emma è anche il frutto della scrittura accattivante e ironica di Jane Austen, che l'attrice Maria Grazia Plos, in questo audiolibro, ha saputo interpretare con tale maestria da appassionare sicuramente ascoltatrici e ascoltatori nell'esplorazione del tema del "fraintendimento in amore".
Emma, giovane ragazza viziata e snob, ha perso la madre, vive con un padre ipocondriaco ed è stata lasciata dalla sua governante-amica che si è sposata. Ha bisogno di un’altra compagna e la trova subito in Harriet Smith, di cui si prenderà cura e cercherà di maritare con Mr. Elton. Quest’ultimo, però, fraintendendo le attenzioni di Emma, che è sempre presente per far da 'Cupido' fra i due, si dichiara proprio a lei. Emma, che fin dall’inizio rivela di non volersi sottomettere alle regole dell’amore, lo rifiuta, mentre Harriet se n’è perdutamente innamorata ed è costretta a subire l’umiliazione di non essere corrisposta.
Nel frattempo nel villaggio di Highbury arriva un giovane affascinante, Frank Churchill, e una donna elegante che suona magnificamente il pianoforte, Jane Fairfax. La vita della protagonista è turbata dai questi nuovi incontri, poiché verso Frank inizia a provare un interessamento, mentre verso Jane prova invidia e gelosia. Emma, per non perdere il controllo della situazione e di se stessa, spinge la sua amica Harriet verso Frank, che si scopre essere segretamente fidanzato ormai da un anno con Jane. Per la seconda volta Emma ha creato false aspettative e ha sbagliato a interpretare gli atteggiamenti di un uomo. Nel momento in cui Emma riconosce i propri errori, sembra riesca a calare quel velo dietro al quale si era nascosta fino ad allora e perde l’aspetto antipatico iniziale. Solo di fronte all’evidenza Emma si rende conto di aver sempre provato dei sentimenti d’affetto profondo verso l’amico Knightley, che da confidente diventerà suo marito.

Northanger Abbey fu il primo romanzo di Jane Austen ad essere pubblicato anche, se in precedenza erano già state stese delle versioni di Orgoglio e pregiudizio e di Ragione e Sentimento. Il suo titolo originario, Susan (nome della protagonista che fu poi mutato in Catherine) fu rivisto per la stampa dalla Austen nel 1803, e venduto ad un editore che decise poi di non pubblicarlo.

Story
Miss Jane Marple è nata dalla fantasia di Agatha Christie nel 1930: un'epoca nella quale le signorine non sposate di una certa età si chiamavano ancora "zitelle". E proprio un'attempata ma decisamente arzilla zitella è Miss Marple: tra un lavoro a crochet e una tazza di tè, infatti, finisce sempre per essere casualmente implicata in una serie di delitti che riesce a risolvere facendo appello alle proprie doti di "osservatrice della natura umana" (qualche maligno direbbe più banalmente di "pettegola").

There's no place like home for the holidays ... especially for Lesley Carver. Life in the big city just wasn't her jam and now she's back in Hickory Falls, working at the family diner and helping her mom after she took a tumble. Lesley longs to build a life here, working at the cafe, selling her handmade ornaments and ... er, apparently reviving her high school crush on her best friend’s older brother. Only one problem, her mom wants her to leave Hickory Falls far behind.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
