Sense and sensibility (Edition Reprint)

Jane Austen's sardonic humour lays bare the strategems, the hypocrisy and the poignancy inherent in the struggles of two very different sisters to achieve respectability.
"Sense and sensibility" is a delightful comedy of manners in which the sisters Elinor and Marianne represent these two qualities. Elinor's character is one of Augustan detachment, while Marianne, a fervant disciple of the Romantic Age, learns to curb her passionate nature in the interests of survival.
This book, the first of Austen's novel to be published, remains as fresh a cautionary tale today as it ever was.
