Pride and Prejudice — Page 1
This distinction applies to books as well as to men and women; and in the case of the not very numerous authors who are the objects of the personal affection, it brings a curious consequence with it.
Diese Unterscheidung gilt für Bücher ebenso wie für Männer und Frauen; und im Falle der nicht sehr zahlreichen Autoren, die Gegenstand persönlicher Zuneigung sind, bringt sie eine merkwürdige Folge mit sich.
And in the sect--fairly large and yet unusually choice--of Austenians or Janites, there would probably be found partisans of the claim to primacy of almost every one of the novels.
Und in der Sekte – recht zahlreich und dennoch ungewöhnlich auserlesen – der Austenians oder Janites würden sich wahrscheinlich Verfechter des Anspruchs auf den Vorrang fast jedes einzelnen der Romane finden.
