Book summary

In an English village, Emma Woodhouse, young, beautiful, rich and sure of herself, amuses herself by arranging other people's marriages. She takes under her wing Harriet, a young woman with no fortune, and decides to find her a husband in her own way. But Emma reads hearts badly, starting with her own.

A comedy full of misunderstandings, in which Jane Austen gently mocks her heroine, and we laugh at her mistakes before recognising ourselves in them.

Its witty dialogue is a pleasure to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

年輕女子一心為好友牽紅線。「艾瑪·伍德豪斯美麗、聰明又富有,似乎集人生的幾大福分於一身。」。

The world of the book

約1815年的英國村莊。小說發生在離倫敦25公里的一個大村子裡。人人彼此相識,各守其位:上層是幾戶富裕人家;往下是農夫、商人和女校長。體面人家的姑娘不工作:婚姻決定她的一生。日子在拜訪、晚宴、散步和牌局中度過。女主角艾瑪很富有:她說自己不打算結婚。
