Beschreibung

First released October 30, 1811; this literary classic novel is now available as a special illustrated edition to commemorate the book's 200th anniversary. This concise edition of Sense and Sensibility includes all three original volumes, plus more than 50 illustrations by world renowned artists C. E. Brock and Hugh Thomson. Austen's Sense and Sensibility has been celebrated in film, stage and television; today it is celebrated for its 200th Anniversary. The dichotomy of classicism vs romanticism is expressed in this brilliant masterpiece; as it follows two sisters as they search for love. Elinor often mirrors Austen's position on romance, but in the end Austen shows there is much to be admired in both logic and passion. © 2011 Queensbridge Publishing

Autor

Jane Austen (16 December 1775 - 18 July 1817) was an English novelist. She wrote many books of romantic fiction about the gentry. Her works made her one of the most famous and beloved writers in English literature. She is one of the great masters of the English novel. Austen's works criticized sentimental novels in the late 18th century, and are part of the change to nineteenth- realism. She wrote about typical people in everyday life. This gave the English novel its first distinctly modern character. Austen's stories are often comic, but they also show how women depended on marriage for social standing and economic security. Her works are also about moral problems. Jane Austen was very modest about her own genius. She once famously described her work as "the little bit (two Inches wide) of Ivory, on which I work with so fine a brush, as produces little effect after much labor." She had been working on a new novel, Sanditon, but she died before she could finish it. She is now a well known great writer.
