"Naxos AudioBooks" has long been dedicated to creating exemplary audiobook recordings of Austen classics, employing the amazing vocal talents of Juliet Stevenson and Emilia Fox.

This magnificent collection includes Austen's six major novels and a recording of her unfinished but substantial novel - "Sanditon". 'The Complete Novels of Jane Austen" offers a supremely enjoyable experience of Austen's novels and is an essential collector's item. Jane Austen is the doyenne of classic literature, an icon whose novels have exerted massive influence over popular culture and scholarly discussion alike. Her good-humoured, satirical style has proved irresistible, and the characters of her imagination - from the odious Mr Collins to the bumbling chatterbox Miss Bates - are beloved to scores of people across the globe.

Product Description

From Amazon

Collected together in one volume, The Complete Novels show the development of Austen as a writer and social commentator. From the early optimism and youthful energy of Northanger Abbey to the quiet and subtle art of Persuasion, this collection reveals the breadth of one of the best loved novelists of all time. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Review

Eight hours longer even than Naxos' complete Sherlock Holmes, this has got to be the audiobook box set of the decade! All six complete major novels are read here in mellifluous and engagingly vital voices which - however many times you listen - instantly draw you into Jane Austen's world. - Rachel Redford, The Observer Together for the first time, the complete and unabridged audio recordings of Jane Austen's novels handsomely presented in a boxed set. Counting 69 CDs and running over 83 hours, this is the Holy Grail of Austen audio book recording as only Naxos could present with superb readings by Juliet Stevenson, Emilia Fox, and Anna Bentinck. Included are Austen's six major novels, the novella Lady Susan and her unfinished novels Sanditon and The Watsons. This is definitely the essential collector's item. 'Nuff said! - Laurel Ann, austenprose.wordpress.com Top of the boxed sets is Jane Austen: The Complete Novels, read by Juliet Stevenson, Emilia Fox and Anna Bentinck, flaunting alongside the favourites of television drama the less-familiar Northanger Abbey and Lady Susan. - Carole Mansur, Telegraph

4.0 out of 5 stars Good novels, but too heavy. Dec 4 2002
Format:Hardcover
I love Jane Austen and of course all the novels contained in this set are fantastic. However, if you really love Jane Austen I recommend just getting your favorite novels separately. This book is so large and unwieldy that I kept having to quit reading because the only comfortable way to read it is if you are not holding it up. It's kind of a pain, to be honest. But content and price-wise, this is a great collection.

1.0 out of 5 stars Commentary Regarding Quality of Book July 10 2002
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
This review is regarding the quality of the 1994 hardcover edition published by Grammercy. I ordered this edition several weeks ago and was extremely disappointed to find it was poor quality. The binding is acceptable when new but after a week of light use, I already noticed deterioration on the front binding. Actually the binding is so poor that, if not careful, you could easily tear some of the front pages out. The paper quality is cheap and is the same used for mass media paperbacks expect slightly thinner. Overall, I was so dissatisfied with this edition that I returned it.

However, I would also like to make a recommendation. After returning the book, I was still looking for collection of Austen's works and happened to find a 1995 hardcover edition of this exact book by Grammercy. The edition costs five dollars more but the quality is ten times better. The book has a faux leather cover with gold trimmed pages and a ribbon bookmark. The paper quality in thin but polished, smoother and more refined. The binding is very durable and I have noticed no deterioration yet after a week of use.

If I had to a chance to redo my purchases, I would have skipped this edition completely and ordered the 1995 edition. If your interested in this edition, it can be found using search under ISBN # 0517147688

5.0 out of 5 stars WOOOOOOW! April 30 2008
Format:Leather Bound
Best deal I have come across as of yet on Amazon.ca and Amazon.com
Can't get over the value. This is a beautiful leather bound book that has 7 novels combined into one. It can easily become a family heirloom just by its beauty, let alone for the materpieces inside!

Recommended!!!!

When you purchase a book entitled Complete Novels of Jane Austen (all under one cover), common sense would dictate that the print is going to be VERY small! Read more

Great price, took a bit of time to arrive but not outside of the estimation. Got misdirected to a neighbour along the way but that was more about my wacky mailman...

Jane Austen. Her name is practically synonymous with classic, understated romance, as well as comedies of manners with a subtle, sly sense of humor. Read more
