★富家女充當月下老人,亂點鴛鴦譜?珍‧奧斯汀最受讀者喜愛的小說!★
★愛情到底是有緣千里一線牽,還是那人卻在燈火闌珊處?★
 
年輕貌美、富裕且活力滿滿的富家女艾瑪,和父親同住,生活衣食無虞,雖然自己沒有結婚打算,倒是很愛幫別人湊對,唯有比她年長的紳士奈特利先生會給她建議,雖然,艾瑪大部分時候也是參考而已。
 
在家教老師結婚離開後,艾瑪的生活變得有些孤單,但個性活潑的她很快又找到了新的陪侍,哈莉葉‧史密斯是個私生女,雖長相可愛但不太聰明,很容易受到艾瑪慫恿,艾瑪認為哈莉葉值得更好的人,要她拒絕農夫馬丁的求婚,鼓勵她改向牧師埃爾頓先生進攻,但哈莉葉頻頻獻殷情卻適得其反,原來埃爾頓先生喜歡的對象是艾瑪?
 
剪不斷、理更亂的愛情關係其實不是眼中看到的那樣簡單,以為是命中註定的對象,其實真心等待的人早已在旁默默守候。
 
A dazzling pocket-sized special anniversary edition bound in real cloth with foiling, sprayed edges and a ribbon marker to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth. Part of a collectable series inspired by Jane Austen’s life and work.
 
Oft-copied but never bettered, Jane Austen’s Emma is a remarkable comedy of manners. Austen follows the charming but insensitive Emma Woodhouse as she sets out on an ill-fated career of match-making in the little town of Highbury. Taking the pretty but dreary Harriet Smith as her subject, Emma creates misunderstandings and chaos as she tries to find Harriet a suitor, until she begins to realize it isn’t the lives of others she must try to transform.
 
With original illustrations by the celebrated Hugh Thomson and bonus material about the design.
 
作者介紹
Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist whose works are among the most popular novels ever written. Her keen eye for social tension, and ear for taut, witty dialogue have delighted readers for centuries, while her novels have maintained historical importance through their analysis of the dependence of women on marriage to gain social standing and security. She has been widely adapted for both stage and screen, and continues to be among the most widely-read of late-18th-/early 19th-century writers.
