Jane austen (12 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Marianne Dashwood can't understand her sister. How could the attractive, witty, and charming Elinor fall for the quiet, self-effacing, and rather dull Edward Ferrars? And, if the two are in love, why don't they shout it to the world? Meanwhile, Elinor worries that Marianne's heart-first approach to life will hurt her, especially when it comes to the dashing John Willoughby. The two sisters spar good-naturedly over the merits of full-blown emotionalism versus reticence and self-discipline in matters of the heart. Fond as they are of each other, each is certain that hers is the only true path to love. Meanwhile, both Edward and Willoughby harbor secrets that will force these women to doubt their philosophies, their judgment, and their chances for happiness. With Sense and Sensibility, her first published novel, Austen served notice that a new and important author had arrived-one whose style, wit, and piercing sense of satire supported a compelling story peopled with finely drawn characters and punctuated with remarkable insights into the human condition.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Sense and Sensibility' is a timeless masterpiece of English literature that explores the delicate balance between logic and emotion. The story follows the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, as they navigate the complexities of love, social standing, and financial security following the death of their father. While Elinor represents the 'sense' of the title-composed, prudent, and restrained-Marianne embodies 'sensibility,' wearing her heart on her sleeve and embracing romantic ideals with fervent passion.Set against the backdrop of late 18th-century England, the novel provides a sharp, witty critique of the rigid social structures and gender roles of the era. As the sisters move from their comfortable family home to a modest cottage in Devonshire, they encounter a cast of memorable characters, including the dashing yet unreliable Willoughby and the steadfast Colonel Brandon. Jane Austen's keen observations of human nature and her signature irony shine through every page, making the Dashwoods' quest for happiness both relatable and profound.This edition is enhanced by the celebrated illustrations of Hugh Thomson, whose intricate drawings capture the charm, fashion, and domestic atmosphere of the period. Austen's work remains an essential study of the heart's resilience and the necessity of finding harmony between the mind and the spirit.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
