Informationen zum Autor Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist whose work centred on social commentary and realism. Her works of romantic fiction are set among the landed gentry, and she is one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Klappentext The real evils, indeed, of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself... Emma Woodhouse lives a life of sheltered comfort in the small village of Highbury. She is self-assured, rich, beautiful and witty, with very little to worry or distress her. Because of this, she sets her sights on managing the lives of other people living in her village. While pulling the strings of her neighbours' lives, she is chided by her oldest friend, Mr. Knightley - and it is only when those around her start to pursue their own interests that Emma realises the hidden depths of her own heart. Delightfully entertaining, Emma is arguably Austen's best-loved novel, an enduring favourite 200 years after it was first published. Zusammenfassung HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved! essential classics.
