Jaksaako tosirakkaus odottaa? Jane Austenin klassikkoteos menetetystä rakkaudesta, teeskentelyn turhamaisuudesta ja uusista mahdollisuuksista. Anne Elliott on 27-vuotias ja heittänyt kaiken toivon avioitumisesta. Kahdeksan vuotta aiemmin hän kihlautui komean mutta varattoman meriupseerin Fredrick Wentworthin kanssa – vain purkaakseen kihlauksen velvollisuudentunnosta sukuaan kohtaan. Nyt Wentworth palaa maihin rikkaana miehenä ja enemmän kuin kelvollisena kosijana. Pari sotkeutuu ylpeyden, mustasukkaisuuden ja epävarmuuden siivittämään väärinkäsitysten vyyhteen, jonka ytimessä on vain yksi kysymys: elääkö vanha rakkaus yhä? Jane Austen (1775–1817) on yksi maailman tunnetuimmista ja rakastetuimmista kirjailijoista. Hänen romaaninsa kuvaavat 1800-luvun alun englantilaisen keskiluokan elämää riemastuttavan humoristisesti, ironiaa ja satiiria viljellen. Viisasteleva sydän on Austenin viimeinen romaani. Sen elegantti tyyli, romanttinen juoni ja osuva ihmiskuvaus ovat hurmanneet sukupolven toisensa jälkeen.

Beautiful, clever, rich - and single - Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée, Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen’s most flawless work.

Mr. and Mrs. Bennet live with their five daughters. Jane, the eldest daughter, falls in love with Charles Bingley, a rich bachelor who moves into a house nearby with his two sisters and friend, Fitzwilliam Darcy. Darcy is attracted to the second daughter, Elizabeth, but she finds him arrogant and self-centered. When Darcy proposes to Elizabeth, she refuses. But perhaps there is more to Darcy than meets the eye.

Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby, she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.

This charming collection by Jane Austen showcases her early writings, including several short stories, a play, and a series of letters that offer a delightful glimpse into her development as a writer. It is sometimes titled "Love and Freindship". Written primarily in her teenage years, these pieces brim with the satirical wit and keen observation of social manners that would later define her famous novels. The compilation reveals Austen's early experimentation with narrative voice and her exploration of themes such as love, courtship, and the quirks of human nature. The stories are characterized by their playful mockery of the sentimental literature of the era, displaying a precocious literary talent. Love and Friendship is not just a collection of Austen's juvenilia; it is a fascinating window into the creative process of one of literature's most beloved figures, making it a must-read for Austen aficionados and lovers of classic English literature.

This beautiful, giftable collection celebrates both the wisdom and tenacity of courageous women who defied society's expectations and gifted the world with literary treasures through unparalleled fiction and poetry. We know many of their names--Austen and Alcott, Bront and Browning, Wheatley, and Woolf--though some may be less familiar. They are here, waiting to introduce themselves. They wrote against all odds. Some wrote defiantly; some wrote desperately. Some wrote while trapped within the confines of status and wealth. Some wrote hand-to-mouth in abject poverty. Some wrote trapped in a room of their father's house, and some went in search of a room of their own. They had lovers and families. They were sometimes lonely. Many wrote anonymously or under a pseudonym for a world not yet ready for their genius and talent. The Women Who Wrote softcover edition offers: Stories from Jane Austen, Katherine Mansfield, Willa Cather, Louisa May Alcott, Edith Wharton, Zora Neale Hurston, and Virginia Woolf. Poems from Emily Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, Charlotte Bront , Emily Bront , Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Dorothy Parker, and Phillis Wheatley. These women wrote to change the world. They marched through the world one by one or in small sisterhoods, speaking to one another and to us over distances of place and time. Pushing back against the boundaries meant to keep us in our place, they carved enough space for themselves to write. They made space for us to follow. Here they are gathered together, an army of women who wrote an arsenal of words to inspire us. They walk with us as we forge our own paths forward.

Handsome, clever, and rich, Emma Woodhouse delights in interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée, Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.
