Austenin rakastetuin romaani yhdistää mestarillisesti romantiikan, yhteiskunnallisen kommentaarin ja huumorin – ja on tänäkin päivänä vailla vertaistaan. Bennetin siskokset ovat tulleet naimaikään, ja huomioon on otettava siskokatraan toiveet, isän huolet ja 1800-luvun Englannin tiukat sosiaaliset säännöt. Kun nuori ja nokkela Elizabeth kohtaa ylpeän herra Darcyn, napikkain joutuvat paitsi luonteet myös ennakkoluulot.

One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'. HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. Elizabeth Bennet, full of vivacity and wit, lives a quiet country existence with her four sisters. To the delight of their mother, determined to find her daughters suitable matches, the eligible Mr Darcy and Mr Bingley arrive in the neighbourhood, bringing with them dancing, wealth – and opportunity. Unimpressed at first by Darcy’s haughty air, Elizabeth vows to have nothing to do with him. But as she makes her own errors of judgement, the pair begin to understand each other and come to realise that first impressions are not always as they seem. Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s much-loved tale of marriage and society in Georgian England, continues to delight modern readers with its social comedy, well-drawn characters and subtle nuances.

Ainutlaatuinen kokoelma rakastetun Jane Austenin kirjenovelleja. Hauskat tarinat irvailevat aikansa käsityksille ihmissuhteista ja avioliitosta. Äidit, tyttäret, sisaret ja ystävättäret käyvät kirjeenvaihtoa, joka usein käsittelee edullisten naimakauppojen solmimista - rakkaudesta on niihin liittyen yleensä turha puhua. Pinnan alla merkityksellisemmäksi nousevat kuitenkin naisten väliset suhteet: kateus, juonittelu sekä ystävyys. Kokoelma sisältää esipuheen lisäksi pienoisromaanin Lady Susan ja novellit Rakkaus ja ystävyys, Kolme sisarta ja Lesleyn linna. Jane Austen (1775-1817) nousi kepeillä ja tarkkanäköisillä säätyläiskuvauksillaan luetumpien brittikirjailijoiden joukkoon. Hän kuvaa englantilaisen keskiluokan arkielämää verrattoman humoristisesti, naisellisen tarkkanäköisesti ja tervettä ironiaa viljellen.

Georgia Oakley presents Sense & Sensibility, Jane Austen’s charming first novel; a story of two sisters, one ruled by reason, the other by romance, and the trouble each invites. After their father’s death leaves the Dashwood sisters with little security, Marianne and Elinor must navigate love and loss under the strict rules of Regency society. Marianne quickly falls for the charming John Willoughby, ignoring her sister's warnings until his sudden change of plans leaves her heartbroken. Meanwhile, Elinor quietly develops feelings for Edward Ferrars, only to discover he may already be promised to another. As both sisters face disappointment, gossip, and social pressure, they learn that neither pure emotion nor strict self-control is enough on its own. To find happiness, they must balance feeling with judgment in a world where status dictates opportunity.

"The more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!" 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.

Voiko sydän kuunnella järjen ääntä? “Yhtä mielelläni kuin jokainen tahtoisin olla täysin onnellinen, mutta omalla tavallani.” Marianne Dashwood on nuori, tunteikas ja taipuvainen heittäytymään rakkauden pyörteisiin vailla varovaisuutta. Hänen sisarensa Elinor taas hallitsee tunteensa ja ajattelee ennen kaikkea velvollisuuksiaan. Kun siskokset joutuvat kohtaamaan pettymyksiä ja sydänsuruja, he oppivat, että maailmassa, jossa asema ja varallisuus säätelevät rakkauden ehtoja, todellinen onni vaatii sekä malttia että tunteenpaloa. Englantilainen Jane Austen (1775-1817) on yksi maailman tunnetuimmista ja rakastetuimmista kirjailijoista. Hän nousi kepeillä ja tarkkanäköisillä säätyläiskuvauksillaan aikansa luetuimpien brittikirjailijoiden joukkoon ja on säilyttänyt suosionsa aina näihin päiviin asti. Austenin toiveikas ja viisas esikoisromaani julkaistiin vuonna 1811 ja kertoo kasvutarinan kahdesta sisaresta, joiden on etsittävä onnea ja rakkautta luokkayhteiskunnan puitteissa.
