"Sense and Sensibility" — роман американской писательницы Джейн Остин, ставший одним из самых знаменитых ее произведений. В основе книги лежит история двух сестер Шарлотты и Элизы Бриджертон, которые живут в маленьком провинциальном городке. Обе сестры отличаются независимым характером, стремлением к свободе и самостоятельности. Однако они сталкиваются с жестокими реалиями жизни, где очень часто личные чувства и желания ставятся выше всего остального.
"Sense and Sensibility", как и другие произведения Остин, поражает своей глубиной, изяществом языка, а также остроумием диалогов между персонажами. Эта книга с легкостью вписывается в список классики мировой литературы и является отличным примером женской прозы в XIX веке.
Sense and Sensibility – an unabridged classic as brilliant as it is moving, Jane Austen's gripping tale continues to surprise and delight – with thirty years on almost as much as the first time you read it. Set against the idyllic but vanishing English countryside and domed by the warm domesticity of two exemplary East Anglian households in early 19th-century England, Sense and Sensibility follows the fortunes of three distinctive women – our protagonist Edith and her big sisters Daphne and Marianne Fairfax – on the precipice of an age of enforced political and social change. Smaller than much-publicised Pride and Prejudice, the novel nevertheless delivers a compassionate exploration of love, lovers' true worth and the effects on women of class and other societies' facade. Since it's first publication in 1811, Sense andSensibility has been hosted on stage and screen; if Jack Pycke's lavish all-colourly 1950 edition was a revelation in its day, being colour-page by page, the clear type menacingly in full font size, Sense 6 on now smartens itself up in the oh-so-accessible Kindle Editions available via Amazon. Edith, Daphne, Marianne and their mother anchored up at Hartfield through the disastrous departure of their father in search of employment in Riccabond Street London would soon after suffer doubly upon the carnage occasioned by assessments of family finances conducted by unscrupulous strangers new to the West Counties, babysitter Mary Crawford being seduced by Edmund Bertram (and subsequently buying in to his credo of honesty and chastity apart) and the neighbourly adventure into swashbuckling Sussex led by mr Ferrars. But this enjoyable download also comes complete with its plugs, including that scented garden, misfit scheme, newspaper smuggling larked love affair; and assuredly will continue to enchant and surprise those who haven't fallen victim yet.
