Mansfield Park Jane Austen

Fanny Price is still a child when her uncles, Sir Thomas and Lady Maria Bertram, take her in in their great mansion in Mansfield Park, rescuing her from a life of haste and need. There she will discover a world of leisure and refinement in which games and dances, horseback riding, music and masks will gradually cease to be innocent amusements to feed adult machinations and seduction strategies. The world represented - the more false the more seductive - hides a dangerous truth that escapes everyone's conscience, and only Fanny, from her submissive silence, will be able to see her consequences and threats. Mansfield Park describes the ups and downs of an order continually decomposing and restoring itself, deceptively, through the ambiguous eyes of a young girl who has been assigned the fate of a Cinderella ... but also her fate.
