Jane Bowles (Jane Sydney Auer; February 22, 1917 – May 4, 1973) was an American writer and playwright. Jane Bowles published Two Serious Ladies, her only novel, at the age of twenty-six and later wrote a book of short stories, Plain Pleasures, and a play, In the Summer House.

"Christina Goering, eccentric and adventurous, and Frieda Copperfield, anxious but enterprising, are two serious ladies who want to live outside of themselves. Old friends, each will take a surprising path in search of salvation: during a visit to Panama, Mrs. Copperfield abandons her husband, finding solace in a relationship with a teenage prostitute; while Miss Goering, a wealthy spinster, pursues sainthood via sordid encounters with the basest of men. At the end the two women meet again, each radically altered by her experience"--Provided by publisher.

Take a quick look at a comprehensive classics bookshelf, or perhaps a definitive video and DVD collection, and chances are you'll find at least one of Jane Austen's works. Austen's novels are prized not only for their light irony, humour, and depiction of contemporary English country life, but also for their underlying serious qualities. Highly readable, full of dry wit and sage advice, Austen makes for a delightful change of pace from today's usual modern fare. This ebook gives you all six of her novels as well as bonus material in the form of several minor works. Sense and sensibility -- Pride and prejudice -- Mansfield Park -- Emma -- Northanger Abbey -- Persuasion -- Love and friendships -- An unfinished novel in letters -- The history of England -- A collection of letters -- Scraps -- The first act of a comedy -- A letter from a young lady -- A tour through Wales -- A tale.
