My favorite writer is Jane Austen , the one who wrote pride and prejudice. When BBC screened its latest adaptation of Jane Austen's novel pride and prejudice, it was watched by a record 18 million British viewers. The series was then sold to 18 countries round the world, from America to Australia , from Iceland to Israel , there are Jane Austen fans in all corners of the globe, and even special Jane Austen discussion groups on the internet. Jane Austen never once traveled aboard in her life time and she hardly ever left the south of England . When she died a spinster in 1817, only four of her six novels had been published, all anonymous and she eared a grand total of 648.65 pounds from her books. Now, nearly 200 years later, sales of her novels rival modern bestsellers, reaching 35,000 a week. There have been film and television productions of not only pride and prejudice, but also Emma, Persuasion, and the Oscar-winning Sense and Sensibility. Her house in Chawton in Hampshire is visited by 200 people a day. |
