Эмма «Магистраль. Коллекция»

Emma is a novel by Jane Austen. The heroine, Emma, is not poor. She has a good home, a loving father and money of her own. The one thing she lacks is a husband.

Emma is in no rush to marry. She would rather arrange the love lives of her friends and the people she knows. Her schemes often go wrong and land her in awkward spots. While she meddles in the lives of others, she almost misses her own chance at happiness.

This is a classic English novel. Of all Austen's books, it is the sharpest and most biting in its wit. It was also the last of her books to come out while she was alive. Readers who like stories of manners, matchmaking and courtship will find it here.

It uses materials that feel good to the touch and colored endpapers. The page edges carry a printed design. The publisher calls it a gift edition. The publisher's text speaks of a hard cover, but the store lists the format as paperback.
