内容简介
《爱玛:EMMA(英文原版)》,英国女作家简·奥斯汀较有影响的长篇小说,创作于1815年,是奥斯汀作品中艺术上、思想上非常成熟的一部。主人公爱玛是个美丽、聪慧而富有的姑娘,同时也是一位不折不扣的幻想家。她热心关注身边的浪漫故事,却又固执地认为自己永远不会陷入其中。她自作主张为孤女哈丽埃特导演了一次又一次的恋爱。当哈丽埃特误以为自己爱上了地方官奈特利先生时,爱玛才惊觉原来自己也在爱着奈特利先生。这虽与她一开始就宣布的终身不嫁的誓言有悖,但坠入情网的她不得不放弃自己天真的誓言。该作品多次被搬上银幕。本书为英文原版,同时提供配套英文朗读免费下载,让读者在阅读精彩故事的同时,亦能提升英文阅读水平。 Emma is a novel published in 1815 and written by English author Jane Austen. It was the last of Austen’s books to be published before the author died at the age of 41. While Pride and Prejudice is her most famous novel, many critics argue that Emma is Austen’s best. This is the story of Emma Woodhouse, a young, witty and wealthy woman who takes an interest in matchmaking and instead makes a mess. It is a comedy of manners that allows the reader to gain a deep understanding of Ms. Woodhouse and her world. Though today Jane Austen is said to be one of the greatest English authors of all time, she was not recognized as such during her life. Most of her novels were published anonymously until after her death in 1817. Emma has been republished many times and adapted into plays, miniseries and films. Jane Austen’s novels have been continuously in print since 1833. She is the only author that all students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are required to study.
作者简介
简·奥斯汀(1775-1817年),英国著名女作家。她的作品主要关注乡绅家庭女性的婚姻和生活,以女性特有的细致入微的观察力和活泼风趣的文字真实地描绘了她周围世界的小天地。奥斯汀20岁左右开始写作,一生共发表了6部长篇小说,分别是《理智与隋感》、《傲慢与偏见》、《曼斯菲尔德庄园》、《爱玛》、《诺桑觉寺》和《劝导》。奥斯汀的小说出现在19世纪初,一扫风行一时的假浪漫主义潮流,继承和发展了英国18世纪优秀的现实主义传统,为19世纪现实主义小说的高潮做了准备。她是世界上为数不多的著名女性作家之一,是介于新古典主义和浪漫运动的抒情主义之间的“小幅画家”和“家庭小说家”,文学评论家眼里在不朽性方面勘与莎士比亚相提并论的英国作家。
