"Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her." That, of course, is about to change. Thinking herself to be the consummate matchmmaker, Emma tries to arrange a suitable match for her friend Harriet Smith. When her plans unravel, Emma discovers that she understands the feelings of others as little as she does her own heart. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most perfect work. Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.

Jane Austen's "Emma" is a true classic of English literature. Set in the fictional village of Highbury and the surrounding estates, the story revolves around the various relationships among the inhabitants. "Emma" is a fantastic tale of the vicissitudes of love and the hubris of youth not to be missed by any lover of English literature. Jane Austen (1775 - 1817) was an English author known primarily for her novels, which critique the 18th century English upper classes and contemporary novels of sensibility. Her use of irony coupled with biting social commentary and realism have led to her wide acclaim amongst scholars and critics, her work contributing to the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Other notable works by this author include: "Sense and Sensibility" (1811), "Pride and Prejudice" (1813), and "Mansfield Park" (1814). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Having no real luck with men, family and friends because of the insecurities and naiveness from her upbringing, she finally meets the man for her. Though this man is insecure of letting any woman possess him because of his past, his upbringing and family traditions that spanned generations, he lets himself be taken by love, by this woman. They have an explosive sexual need for one another but their human characteristics, their past and future forbid them from anything but smooth sailing. Try as they might and as relationships go, they struggle to keep the one thing they know to be true-their deep love for one another. It is the transformation of two lives that will be forever changed and must evolve for the sake of their love.
