Jane Austen’s World – 50% Off Launch Sale
[ad_1]
[prMac.com] American Fork, Utah – The Jane Austen Project is pleased to announce a one week 50% off sale to celebrate the launch of the Jane Austen’s World app in the Apple App Store. The Jane Austen’s World app for iPad is a new exploration of the literary world of renowned author, Jane Austen. Starting with the full text of Pride & Prejudice, the world app adds character bios, a Jane Austen bio, trivia, quotes, and an interactive map of England showing all the locations depicted in the book.
Reading Pride & Prejudice is a delightful experience between digital curling pages. Change the font, the font size, and the background color to suit your needs. Bookmark multiple pages for a quick return. Brightness control allows you to adapt to your environment.
It all began as the desire of Kim Izatt, chief content contributor, to better understand the different terms used in Austen’s books that were from another time period. From there it blossomed into a full-blown project to explore the depths of the book through various means. The Trivia section was added to directly address Kim’s initial interest, providing definitions and context to many of the more esoteric words and phrases used in the book. For example, did you know that “chaise and four” refers to a carriage with four horses? Or that “Boulanger” is a circular dance of couples?
Another point of interest is where are all the different towns located that are mentioned in the book? How far was it to travel to London? Thus a beautiful map, created by illustrator Chase Jensen, was added with interactivity for learning about each location. For instance, you could learn that Pemberly is a fictional town while Brighton is quite real. Both are referenced in Pride & Prejudice. Or learn that Gretna Green, another very real town in Scotland, is a popular place for eloping couples because marriage laws allowed young love birds to marry without parental permission.
As Jane Austen is a popular and quotable author, Jane Austen’s World would not be complete without a Quotes section. Happily flip through pages of popular and insightful quotes from the book:
* “Kitty has no discretion in her coughs; she times them ill.”
* “I have high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these last twenty years at least.”
* “I am perfectly convinced by it that Mr. Darcy has no defect. He owns it himself without disguise.”
Character biographies round out the fun. Starting with a beautiful portrait wall of character depictions by Chase Jensen, each portrait may be tapped to bring up a biography of that character. These include such personal statistics as age, family, and fortune plus quotes from other characters and/or the narrator regarding this character – as seen through the eyes of others.
