'Love and Friendship' and 'Lesley Castle' provide parodies of the gentry and the fashionable idea of sensibility of the time. 'A History of England' supplies us with a lively chronicle of English monarchic history. Also included in this collection are 'The Three Sisters', 'Catharine', the series of vignettes known as 'A Collection of Letters' and 'Lady Susan', an epistolary story which was recently adapted for the cinema. Taken together, these pieces display all the wry humour, shrewd observation and satirical insight of Emma or Pride and Prejudice.These inventive and entertaining pieces display the early sparkles of wit and imagination of Jane Austen's mature fiction. Written when she was only in her teens, they are by turns amusing, acerbic and occasionally downright silly.

XI Premi 7lletres, 2016La maldat que simbolitzava el llop en les versionsoriginals dels contes classics ha perviscut fi ns als nostresdies. Els llops continuen sent un perill malgratque ara rebin altres noms, malgrat que ara socultin alescola, al carrer o en la propia familia; malgrat queja no visquin als boscos. Els set relats daquest llibre,narrats en primera persona, volen donar veu a totsaquells nens que callen quan un llop els ataca, queno diuen res perque creuen que es normal, quesamaguen perque els avergonyeix la idea que algupugui descobrir el seu malson. Deia Tolstoi que totesles families felices sassemblen, pero cada familia infeliçho es a la seva manera. Ningu no sap que samagarere una porta tancada.

Quem responde por essa morte? Quem irá pagar o velório dessa mulher do povo? Forjada no terreno avermelhado pelo sangue das vacas, na fronteira entre o Brasil e o Uruguai, onde, como num armário de louças, se confundem tiranos e subalternos, negros e brancos, esta historia começa com a morte da tia Eluma, uma empregada domestica numa cidade chamada Ana. Quem responde por essa morte? Quem ira pagar o velorio dessa mulher do povo?Tendo a vida (e a morte) de tia Eluma como ponto de partida, a narradora puxa o fio que se estende a sua primeira antepassada conhecida da linha materna, passando por outras parentes suas que, para ali chegarem, limparam os pes nas pedras dos arroios e lavaram a roupa suja dos brancos.Entre os pontos altos deste Louças de Familia, que usa pratos, chavenas, taças, tijelas ou meros cacos como marcas da memoria familiar e das passagens geracionais, esta a propria linguagem da autora Eliane Marques, que mistura portugues, espanhol e ioruba numa avassaladora e densa dicço literaria.
