«La pongo al par de Shakespeare, Cervantes y Henry Fielding.»Henry JamesEn Sentido y sensibilidad, Jane Austen explora con sutileza e ironía las opciones de la mujer en una sociedad rígida, donde el éxito o el fracaso dependen de la elección del marido. La historia se centra en dos hermanas, Elinor y Marianne, cuyas personalidades antagónicas ejemplifican dos posibles respuestas femeninas ante la hipocresía dominante: el «sentido común» y la «sensibilidad». Sin embargo, tanto un camino como el otro entrañan sus peligros. Esta edición incorpora una cronología detallada y recupera la introducción de la edición original de Penguin Clásicos a cargo de Tony Tanner, uno de los mayores especialistas en la obra de Jane Austen, a cuyo estudio dedicó gran parte de su carrera. Fue catedrático de literatura inglesa y norteamericana en la Universidad de Cambridge.«Venga, entre amigos no hay secretos.»ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONJane Austen's first published work, meticulously constructed and sparkling with her unique wit Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love. This edition also includes explanatory notes and textual variants between first and second edition. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1, 700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators. | Sentido Y Sensibilidad (edicion Conmemorativa) / Sense And Sensibility (commemor Ative Edition) by Jane Austen, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
