★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.
