SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

EXCEPTIONAL EDITION <p> Immerse in 296 pages of enthralling romance you will never forget! <p> Jane Austen (1775–1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism, biting irony and social commentary as well as her acclaimed plots have gained her historical importance. <p> First published in 1811, "Sense and Sensibility", Jane Austen's witty comedy of manners, portrays the life and loves of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne in England, in the eighteenth-century. Marianne 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. <p> This brilliant novel is a must-read of classic literature and will delight readers of all ages. <p> Enjoy all masterpieces by Jane Austen in a beautifully presented edition by "Atlantic Editions": <br> PRIDE AND PREJUDICE <br> MANSFIELD PARK <br> EMMA <br> NORTHANGER ABBEY <br> PERSUASION <p>
