Jane Austen - Emma

Emma is one of Jane Austen's most beloved novels, telling the story of Emma Woodhouse, a witty and beautiful young woman. Clever and confident, she enjoys playing matchmaker in the lives of others, while she herself is determined to resist marriage.

Although she promises her father that she will give up arranging marriages, her lively nature keeps her from abandoning this pleasant social pastime. Her plans and well-meaning interventions, however, are repeatedly undone by reality, leading to a series of misunderstandings and instructive turns of events.

With subtle humour and sharp social observation, the novel portrays everyday life, customs and human relationships in nineteenth-century English countryside society. As a classic of literary fiction, it is an ideal choice for readers who love romantic stories and timeless literature.
