Emma (Legend Classics)
Um þessa rafbók
Meet Emma Woodhouse: handsome, clever, and rich.
Our dear protagonist, a victim to the hubris of youth, takes delight from meddling in the romantic affairs of others, but soon these playful escapades unravel and ensnare her - until, inevitably, she is but a helpless player trapped in her own game.
Here, in her fourth novel, Jane Austen applies her caustic wit to ideas of decorum, marriage, gender, and social status.

Um höfundinn
Jane Austen is best known as the author of Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. She wrote as many as 3,000 letters during her lifetime, but only 161 survived (the recipient of these letters, her sister Cassandra, burned the majority of them; this was, ostensibly, to stop anyone from reading Jane's "sometimes acid or forthright comments on neighbours and family members").
