Jane Austen: Sense and Sensibility, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.

I wish as well as every body else to be perfectly happy; but like every body else it must be in my own way.

When the Dashwood family are forced into more modest circumstances, teenage sisters Marianne and Elinor also find themselves entangled in matters of the heart. Passionate and spirited, Marianne falls for the charming but unreliable Mr Willoughby. Elinor, by contrast sensible and stoic, forms a close bond with the honourable Edward Ferrars, but must cope with the news that he is promised to another. Only through their shared experiences of love and loss do both sisters learn that the key to happiness comes from finding the perfect mixture of rationality and feeling.

Sense and Sensibility was Jane Austen's first published work when it appeared in 1811. One of her most cherished novels, the story of the beloved Dashwood sisters has been the subject of several adaptations for film and television.
