Emma

Emma

USD $ 9,99

Complete and unabridged, with 99 full-page plates by Thomas Gainsborough, Joseph Vernet and John Constable. Emma Woodhouse is handsome, clever, rich, and quite certain she knows what everyone else should want. Austen said she was taking on a heroine whom no one but herself would much like, and then wrote the funniest of her novels around her — a comedy in which every piece of matchmaking misfires because the matchmaker cannot read her own heart. The plot is a puzzle: every clue is on the page, and almost no reader spots them. Ninety-nine plates of painting, from Jan Steen to Thomas Lawrence, show the faces, letters, and interiors of the world Austen's matchmaker misreads.

Jane Austen

Jane Austen

Autor

Steventon, 1775-Winchester, 1817. Novelista británica. Séptima hija de una familia de ocho hermanos, su padre se encargó personalmente de su educación. En 1801, los Austen se trasladaron a Bath y luego a Chawton, un pueblo de Hampshire, donde la escritora redactó la mayoría de sus novelas. Apacible, sereno y equilibrado es su modo de escribir, y describe con sutil ironía el ambiente de la clase alta rural del sur de Inglaterra. El interés de sus obras reside en los diferentes matices psicológicos de sus personajes, y en la descripción, con una buena dosis de crítica, del ambiente social en que sitúa a sus protagonistas, que no es otro que el suyo propio, el de la burguesía acomodada.
