One of Jane Austen's most popular novels. Arrogant, self-willed, and egotistical, Emma is her most unusual heroine.

Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

Beautiful, clever, rich and single, Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégé Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

Emma Woodhouse no es la típica heroína de Austen; no es dependiente, no tiene un status y una economía precarios. Tampoco necesita cazar un marido para asegurar su futuro. Al contrario, es una joven «inteligente, bella y rica», que no aspira al matrimonio y que rige, como por derecho natural, los destinos de la pequeña comunidad de Highbury.

Emma Woodhouse no es la típica heroína de Jane Austen: no es dependiente, no tiene un status y una economía precarios, y no necesita, para asegurar su futuro, cazar marido. Al contrario, es una joven «inteligente, bella y rica», que no aspira al matrimonio y que rige como por derecho natural los destinos de la pequeña comunidad de Highbury. Emma (1816) es una fulgurante comedia de equívocos, llena de ocultaciones, intrigas y errores que muchas veces inspiran vergüenza ajena, pero en la que el sentido del ridículo sirve como vehículo para el acierto y la sensatez.

In Volume II, we present Austen's timeless classics "Sense and Sensibility," "Northanger Abbey" and "Emma."

Pubblicato anonimo nel 1816, "Emma" appartiene agli scritti di Jane Austen cosiddetti "della maturità".

One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

In this timeless romance, Anne Elliot is given a second chance at love when she reconnects with Captain Frederick Wentworth, the man she once loved and was persuaded to reject. As Anne grapples with past regrets and present feelings, she must navigate the complexities of society, family expectations, and her own heart. With sharp wit and keen insight into human relationships, Persuasion is a poignant exploration of love, second chances, and the power of personal growth.

Arguably Jane Austen's most popular novel, Emma is a vivid, captivating, and irresistibly witty classic about love and marriage.

First published in 1816 and generally considered Jane Austen's finest work, Emma is a humorous portrayal of a heroine whose injudicious interferences in the life of a young parlour-boarder in a neighboring village often lead to substantial mortification. Austen brings to life a myriad of engaging characters as she presents a mixture of social classes as she did in Pride and Prejudice.
