书籍简介

本书是19世纪初英国知名女作家简·奥斯丁的经典作品之一。小说讲述了英国摄政时期，爱玛与体弱的父亲住在乡间大宅，她年轻、漂亮、富有，奈特利先生是她的邻居，是位十足的绅士。爱玛不急于结婚，倒是更有兴趣做红娘。于是爱玛充分发挥了自己的影响力，为朋友撮合了一次又一次啼笑皆非的相亲事件，一出出荒诞的爱情闹剧之后，这对朋友都找到了自己属意的恋人。

本书为企鹅布面经典系列，由屡获殊荣的 Coralie Bickford-Smith 设计，这些精美且具有收藏价值的版本采用高品质彩色触感布装订，并在设计中印有箔纸印字工艺，极具收藏价值。

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Beautiful, clever, rich - and single - Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others.

But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming hero and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.

作者简介

简•奥斯丁，英国文学史上杰出的现实主义小说家。从小在父母的指导下阅读了大量文学作品。十六岁时，奥斯丁对小说写作产生浓厚兴趣。简•奥斯丁生活和写作的年代,英国小说正经历着一个青黄不接的时期。从十八世纪七十年代到十九世纪头十年，没有产生任何重要作品。直至1811年，简·奥斯丁出版了她的处女作小说《理智与情感》，才打破了这种令人窒息的沉闷局面。接着,她又相继发表了《傲慢与偏见》《曼斯菲尔德庄园》《爱玛》《诺桑觉寺》和《劝导》五部小说。这些作品以其理性的光芒为英国十九世纪现实主义小说高潮的到来扫清了道路。简•奥斯丁的作品能与莎士比亚、狄更斯相媲美。

Jane Austen (1775-1817) was modest about her own genius but is one of English literature's greatest and most admired writers. She is the author of Sense & Sensibility, Pride & Prejudice, Emma, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion.
