书籍简介

★两对性情截然相反的姐妹共同经历了初恋的痛苦，这就是简-奥斯汀这部充满人性戏剧性的叙事作品的主题。

"我和其他人一样希望得到幸福，但和其他人一样，这必须以我自己的方式来实现"。

埃莉诺，实际而传统，是理智。玛丽安情感丰富，是感性的化身。不幸的爱情给每个人都带来了悲伤。

当理智让位于感性，感性让位于理智时，真爱取得了胜利。简-奥斯汀真实地再现了十九世纪初中产阶级的外省生活，以深刻的洞察力和温和的讽刺笔触，使她的小说成为那个时代风尚和礼仪的永恒之作。

★本版本收录玛格丽特·德拉布尔的导言

★和玛丽·巴洛格的后记

Two sisters of opposing temperaments who share the pangs of new love provide the theme for Jane Austen’s dramatically human narrative.

“I wish as well as everybody else to be perfectly happy but like everybody else it must be in my own way.”

Elinor, practical and conventional, is the perfection of sense. Marianne, emotional and sentimental, is the embodiment of sensibility. To each comes the sorrow of unhappy love. 

Their mutual suffering brings a closer understanding between the two sisters—and true love finally triumphs when sense gives way to sensibility and sensibility gives way to sense. Jane Austen’s authentic representation of early-nineteenth-century middle-class provincial life, written with forceful insight and gentle irony, makes her novels the enduring works on the mores and manners of her time.

简-奥斯汀 （1775-1817 年）出生于英格兰汉普郡，父亲乔治-奥斯汀是一名牧师，母亲卡桑德拉是他的妻子。与当时的许多女孩一样，她在家中接受教育，并开始了自己的文学创作生涯，为她的大家庭创作戏仿作品和小品。虽然奥斯汀没有结婚，但她确实有几个追求者，有一次还接受了求婚，但只谈了一个晚上。虽然奥斯汀从未与家人分开生活，但她的作品却展现了世故睿智的感性。她的小说包括《理智与情感》（1811 年）、《傲慢与偏见 》（1813 年）、《曼斯菲尔德庄园》（1814 年）、《爱玛》（1815 年）以及《诺桑觉寺》和《劝导》，这两部小说于 1818 年在死后一起出版。

玛格丽特-德拉布尔 是备受赞誉的小说家、传记作家和《牛津英国文学指南》（The Oxford Companion to English Literature）的编辑。她的小说包括《象牙之门》、《七姐妹》和《 红皇后》。

玛丽-巴洛格在威尔士长大，大学毕业后到加拿大萨斯喀彻温省教高中英语。她的摄政时期历史爱情小说《蒙面欺骗》于 1985 年出版。此后，她创作了七十多部小说，其中包括《纽约时报》畅销书《Slightly sestet》和《Simply quartet》。

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born in Hampshire, England, to George Austen, a rector, and his wife, Cassandra. Like many girls of her day, she was educated at home, where she began her literary career by writing parodies and skits for the amusement of her large family. Although Austen did not marry, she did have several suitors and once accepted a marriage proposal, but only for an evening. Although Austen never lived apart from her family, her work shows a worldly and wise sensibility. Her novels include Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1815), and Northanger Abbeyand Persuasion, published together posthumously in 1818. 

Margaret Drabble is the highly acclaimed novelist, biographer, and editor of The Oxford Companion to English Literature. Her novels include The Gates of Ivory,The Seven Sisters, and The Red Queen. 

Mary Balogh grew up in Wales and after graduating from University moved to Saskatchewan, Canada, to teach high school English. Her first Regency historical love story, A Masked Deception, was published in 1985. She has written more than seventy novels since then, including the New York Times bestselling Slightly sestet and Simply quartet.
