内容简介
Book Description
Emma is determined that she’s never going to get married….
She’s beautiful, rich and clever, and has decided she’s perfectly happy with single life. What Emma does love, however, is interfering in other people’s business (and she is always convinced she’s right). When she ignores the advice of her friend Mr. Knightley and insists on matchmaking for her friend for her friend Harrier, her carefully laid plans go disastrously wrong.
Is Emma so wrapped up in other people’s love lives that she fails to spot happiness when it’s right under her nose? Perhaps, when it comes to affairs of the heart, she can’t control everything after all…

作者简介
Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775 at Steventon, near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. after his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother, in 1809 they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until May 1817, when she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on 18 July 1817. Jane Austen was extremely modest about her own genius, describing her work to her nephew, Edward, as ‘the little bit (two Inches wide) of Ivory, on which I work with so fine a Brush, as produces little effect after much labour’. As a girl she wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were published only after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These areSense and Sensibility(1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814)andEmma(1815). Two other novels,Northanger AbbeyandPersuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship.Persuasionwas written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel,Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel,The Watsons. At the time of her death she was working on a new novel,Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.
