Emma (Deluxe Hardbound Edition) Emma (Deluxe Hardbound Edition)

Emma Woodhouse is comfortable, clever and quite certain she knows who ought to marry whom. Jane Austen lets that confidence run until the consequences finally catch up with it. The novel works through village visits, misread signals and small social manoeuvres rather than dramatic events, and the humour comes from how completely the heroine misunderstands what is happening around her, including inside herself. This deluxe hardbound edition presents the full text in a binding meant for keeping, which makes it as suitable for a gift as for a first reading. Quick facts for buyers: • Complete and unabridged text of Austen's novel • Hardbound production intended for a long shelf life • Social comedy carried by dialogue and observation • A presentation copy for Austen readers and collectors Well matched to lovers of classic English fiction, literature students and gift buyers, available from Boipoka.
