Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775 at Steventon, near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. after his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother, in 1809 they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until May 1817, when she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on 18 July 1817. Jane Austen was extremely modest about her own genius, describing her work to her nephew, Edward, as ‘the little bit (two Inches wide) of Ivory, on which I work with so fine a Brush, as produces little effect after much labour’. As a girl she wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were published only after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility(1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma(1815). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.
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 protégée Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.
爱玛——真实的我们 其实,在我看来,简奥斯汀与其他名著作家很不一样。她的作品似乎从来都很容易理解。某种程度上,似乎有些崇尚Happy ending这位女士很言情小说风。这当然同其家庭,环境及历史背景有着紧密的联系。但不同的是,简奥斯汀有着非凡的观察力,我们从之灵动的各式...
评分读过奥斯汀小说的人都知道:散步,谈话,舞会,书信……是奥斯汀小说的情节。爱情,婚姻,家产,门第……是奥斯汀小说的主题。这些东西,足足写满了她的六本小说。难怪夏洛蒂•勃朗特会说,奥斯汀不知激情为何物。但不可否认,那些散步、舞会……,那些门第、婚姻……,还真...
评分购买于新加坡国立大学Central Forum Co-op,不知道写在这里合不合适,我个人感觉翻译版本基本上不如原版的好。

评分2017.3.21 终于读完 #2017年度读书计划NO.6:Emma
评分作为男性读者,我很负责任地说这书无趣的很。但不可否认,简•奥斯汀的文笔绝对一流。我看此书时的状态,和汤姆•汉克斯在《电子情书》里看《傲慢与偏见》的状态是一致的。人生兜兜转转一圈还是会出其不意地回到原点,不同的,是那些宝贵的经历,以及它们给自己带来的灵魂上的深度。
