Emma | Jane Austen

Descriere

2015 marks the 200th anniversary since the first publication of Emma. Young, rich, witty, carefree, and cheerfully oblivious; Emma Woodhouse has a charmed life, and while she harbours no interest in marriage herself, she delights in arranging the unions of others. But her enthusiasm is wont to override her sense, and as she tangles herself in the love lives of her friends and neighbours, she is forced to reflect on her own imperfections. The result is an effervescent comic romance, in which Emma fumbles through the complex world of matchmaking towards self-awareness, and perhaps even a happiness of her own. About The Cover: The art of letter-writing and matchmaking during the nineteenth century created a cycle that produced suitable matches that would inevitably lead to matrimony.
