爱玛：EMMA（英文原版）

《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。Emmaisanovelpublishedin1815andwrittenbyEnglishauthorJaneAusten.ItwasthelastofAusten’sbookstobepublishedbeforetheauthordiedattheageof41.WhilePrideandPrejudiceishermostfamousnovel,manycriticsarguethatEmmaisAusten’sbest.ThisisthestoryofEmmaWoodhouse,ayoung,wittyandwealthywomanwhotakesaninterestinmatchmakingandinsteadmakesamess.ItisacomedyofmannersthatallowsthereadertogainadeepunderstandingofMs.Woodhouseandherworld.ThoughtodayJaneAustenissaidtobeoneofthegreatestEnglishauthorsofalltime,shewasnotrecognizedassuchduringherlife.Mostofhernovelswerepublishedanonymouslyuntilafterherdeathin1817.Emmahasbeenrepublishedmanytimesandadaptedintoplays,miniseriesandfilms.JaneAusten’snovelshavebeencontinuouslyinprintsince1833.SheistheonlyauthorthatallstudentsinEngland,WalesandNorthernIrelandarerequiredtostudy.
