Jane Austen

Jane Austen was a major English novelist, whose brilliantly witty, elegantly structured satirical fiction marks the transition in English literature from 18th century neo-classicism to 19th century romanticism.

She has really marked women literature, because girls on her days and nowadays read her novels with great enthusiasm.

Today is quite fashionable her "Pride and Prejudice" book, but she also wrote "Sense and Sensibility", "Mansfield Park", "Emma", and one I really liked a lot was "Northanger Abbey", "Persuasion" and "SAndition".

Nowadays, there are lots of sites and societies to her memory and her achievemnts...the JASP is the more important one, the official one, and there is one in North America, Argentina, Australia and United Kingdom.

Agatha Christie "Queen of Crime"

This author is one of the greater sellers of all times and her mind and witty pen makes her deserve to be the first discussion of this new club. I am open to hear critics, reviews what ever....

Last autumn I decided to read all her writings, and I am on my way; I love Mrs. Marple, but Mounsier Poirot is really charming. Is quite interesting all the tips of society and culture that Christie gives in the enviroinments and situations of the stories. But, did you know that besides Poirot and Mrs. Jane Marple there were other detectives....they were Arthur Hastings, Inspector Japp, the famouses Tommy and Tuppence, Anne Beddingfield, Colonel Race, Superintendent Battle, Bill Eversleigh, Emily Trefusis, Ariadne Oliver, Inspector James Leach, Charles Hayward and finally Inspector Lejeune. All of them have participated and helped to solve the misteries.

Well...what do you know about her?....
