　　When Jane Austen (1775-1817) wrote her novels in England,she was writing about a world that most of us would not recognize.

　　But today Austen’s books are in greater demand than ever.In the last 10 years,five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films,while her books continue to be best-sellers.So why is Austen still popular?

　　Richard Jenkyns,a professor of English at Oxford University,argues that her novels still appeal to people because they focus on issues that are as relevant today as they were when she wrote them.

　　Her novels are about women trying to find a perfect husband,but also explore issues surrounding marriage,friendships and the family.“The stories are fairly timeless.They are about human interaction (互动) which we are all familiar with,” Jenkyns says.

　　The most famous book Austen wrote is PrideandPrejudice,a love story about Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy.At first these two do not get on.They eventually fall in love,but must still overcome opposition to their relationship from their families.

　　“All of Austen’s books are easy to read making them popular with children and adults,but they work on different levels so people can take what they need from them”,author Kate Henry says.
