Austen Jane Emma Издательство: Penguin Group Жанр: Penguin Group Качество: Хорошее Страниц: 367 Формат: pdf, fb2, epub Emma is the culmination of Jane Austen's genius, a sparkling comedy of love and marriage. Emma Woodhouse is introduced to us as 'handsome, clever and rich' and, according to Jane Austen, a heroine 'which no one but myself would like'. Yet such is Emma's spirited wit that, despite her superior airs and egotism, few readers have failed to succumb to her charm. The comedy turns on Emma's self-appointed role as energetic match-maker for her sweet, silly friend immune to the charms of the male sex. Her emotional coming of age is woven into what Ronald Blythe has called 'the happiest of love stories, the most fiendishly difficult of detective stories and a matchless repository of English wit'.
