Description
Una de las novelas más audaces de Jane Austen. Emma Woodhouse, la hija de un rico terrateniente, se muda al pequeño pueblo de Hartfield. Aburrida de su plácida vida junto a su padre, se dedicará en cuerpo y alma a su pasatiempo favorito: hacer de casamentera entre sus conocidos y jugar con sus vidas a su antojo. Sólo George Knightley será capaz de enfrentarse a Emma y criticar duramente su comportamiento, lo que provocará una deliciosa pugna entre ambos. 'Percibimos en Emma ecos sofocados de un drama íntimo que la buena educación impide manifestar de una manera más clara. Esa prosa sencilla, elegante, natural, tiene una transparencia engañosa, su limpidez sugiere que no contiene nada más que lo que vemos, y disimula púdicamente secretos que no han dejado de intrigar a sus lectores.' De la introducción de Carlos Pujol.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION One of Jane Austen's boldest novels. Emma Woodhouse, the daughter of a wealthy landowner, moves to the small town of Hartfield. Bored with her placid life alongside her father, she will dedicate herself body and soul to her favorite pastime: matchmaking among her acquaintances and playing with their lives at her whim. Only George Knightley will be able to confront Emma and harshly criticize her behavior, sparking a delightful struggle between the two. "In Emma, we perceive muffled echoes of an intimate drama that good manners prevent from manifesting more clearly. That simple, elegant, natural prose has a deceptive transparency; its clarity suggests it contains nothing more than what we see, and it modestly conceals secrets that have continued to intrigue its readers." From the introduction by Carlos Pujol.
