Sense and Sensibility

奥斯丁，1775年12月16日生于斯蒂文顿乡一教区牧师家庭。受到较好的家庭教育，主要教材就是父亲的文学藏书。奥斯丁一家爱读流行小说，多半是庸俗的消遣品。她少女时期的习作就是对这类流行小说的滑稽模仿，这样就形成了她作品中嘲讽的基调。她的六部小说《理智与感伤》(1811)《傲慢与偏见》(1813)《曼斯斐尔德花园》(1814)《爱玛》(1815)以及作者逝世以后出版的《诺桑觉修道院》(1818)和《劝导》(1818)，大半以乡镇上的中产阶级日常生活为题材，通过爱情婚姻等方面的矛盾冲突反映了18世纪末、19世纪初英国社会的风貌。作品中往往通过喜剧性的场面嘲讽人们的愚蠢、自私、势利和盲目自信等可鄙可笑的弱点。奥斯丁的小说出现在19世纪初叶，一扫风行一时的假浪漫主义潮流，继承和发展了英国18世纪优秀的现实主义传统，为19世纪现实主义小说的高潮做了准备，起到了承上启下的重要作用。

Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willougby, 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.

读后感

As to Sense,I guess it means a respect for order,logic and rational control. As to Sensibility,however,I think it means not only emotional sensitivity but also self-awareness. In Austen's times,there rose a group of so-called sentimentalists who prided the...  

十七岁那年，我在家乡小城的图书馆借到《傲慢与偏见》，时至今日，我仿佛还能够闻到那本牛皮纸包装的旧书散发着的潮湿味道。 三十七岁，我读完《诺桑觉寺》。 她的书陪伴我走过了从少女到中年妇人的里程，她似乎一直静静的站在角落里，冷冷的注视着我身边发生的一切，从不做声...

Still not really to my liking

反讽一如既往的出色，所以仔细读还是有不少幽默的片段。只是两个男主太令人无语，情节显得生硬而勉强，甚至两个女主也过于现实，妥协得也快，实在不能让我满意。

Hoping to find the answer of balancing between reason and emotion but realize this book is a fairy tale lollll. Still, beautiful language 有机会再看下李安导演的电影吧～

爱它胜过傲慢与偏见
