Jane Austen's Emma is her masterpiece, mixing the sparkle of her early books with a deep sensibility. -Robert McCrum ; The Guardian Emma, by Jane Austen, is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. The story takes place in the fictional village of Highbury and the surrounding estates of Hartfield, Randalls, and Donwell Abbey and involves the relationships among individuals in those locations consisting of "3 or 4 families in a country village". As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners among her characters and depicts issues of marriage, gender, age, and social status. Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." In the first sentence, she introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma is spoiled, headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives; and her imagination and perceptions often lead her astray. This novel has been adapted for several films, many television programmes, and a long list of stage plays. It is also the inspiration for several novels. A True Classic that Belongs on Every Bookshelf!

Lady B.

Uno dei grandi classici della letteratura inglese, un'eroina tanto indipendente e moderna quanto tradizionalista: Emma riesce a catturare il lettore sin dall'inizio e a farsi tanto odiare quanto amare nel corso delle vicessitudini costellate di fraintendimenti di questo romanzo. Una storia d'amore forse inattesa per alcuni ma sicuramente agognata dai più, che dona il giusto lieto fine a una serie di eventi che, come tessere di un puzzle, costituiscono il finale soddisfacente e perfetto! Un'opera fitta e dal linguaggio arcaico da leggere almeno una volta nella vita!
