Beschreibung
The real evils, indeed, of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself . . . Jane Austen's classic novel begins with twenty-one-year-old Emma Woodhouse happily presiding over the social order of the village of Highbury, utterly convinced of both her capability and her right to manage other people's lives-all for their own good, naturally. Her well-meaning meddling in the affairs of the reserved Jane Fairfax, the handsome Frank Churchill, the foolish Harriet Smith, and the young vicar Mr. Elton, ends with her long-held convictions shattered, her mind awakened to life's quandries, and her own happiness assured. Through a dazzling gallery of characters-some pretentious or ridiculous, some admirable and moving, all utterly true-Jane Austen deftly and beautifully probes the deepest ironies of love and life.
