(Original, Unabridged Classic, Premium Hardbound Collector's Edition, Ideal for Gifting)
Jane Austen
"You want nothing but patience – or give it a more fascinating name, call it hope."
When the Dashwood sisters lose their home and income on their father's death, they must navigate the treacherous social landscape of Regency England with very different weapons. Elinor, the elder, has sense — a quiet command of her own feelings and a clear-eyed view of others. Marianne, passionate and impetuous, trusts only her heart. Both will have their assumptions shattered before they find happiness.
With a Goodreads rating of 4.06, Sense and Sensibility is the Austen that readers find most emotionally honest — a novel where the comedy has a sharper edge and the suffering feels more directly rendered than anywhere else in her work. The two sisters are not opposites but complementary parts of a complete person, and Austen's portrait of their different educations in love is as precise and affecting today as it was in 1811.
This premium hardbound collector's edition with sprayed edges presents Austen's original, unabridged text — a distinguished addition to any Austen collection.
