Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775 at Steventon, near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. after his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother, in 1809 they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until May 1817, when she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on 18 July 1817. Jane Austen was extremely modest about her own genius, describing her work to her nephew, Edward, as ‘the little bit (two Inches wide) of Ivory, on which I work with so fine a Brush, as produces little effect after much labour’. As a girl she wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were published only after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility(1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma(1815). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.

购买于新加坡国立大学Central Forum Co-op,不知道写在这里合不合适,我个人感觉翻译版本基本上不如原版的好。
评分读过奥斯汀小说的人都知道:散步,谈话,舞会,书信……是奥斯汀小说的情节。爱情,婚姻,家产,门第……是奥斯汀小说的主题。这些东西,足足写满了她的六本小说。难怪夏洛蒂•勃朗特会说,奥斯汀不知激情为何物。但不可否认,那些散步、舞会……,那些门第、婚姻……,还真...
评分 评分我是看了Austen的《傲》慕名来看《爱玛》的。书上写这是Austen最成熟的一本书。然而我几乎是硬着头皮看的,到最后才有一点兴趣。 爱玛为人撮合,自己却不想结婚。当然,她的撮合每次都是旨在为女伴找到一个好归宿。这倒没什么。可是当后来哈丽埃塔爱上奈特利先生时...
评分本书刻画了三个主要女性,Emma、Harriet、Fairfax。毫无疑问,Emma是集万千宠爱于一身的,现代意义上的“白富美”,而另两位出身相对低贱的美好女性,很可能就被尊称为“女屌丝”了。 我并不喜欢Emma。自恃高人一等,忙着给Harriet和Mr.Elton做媒。当Mr.Elton求婚时她果断拒绝...

Beautiful, clever, rich - and single - Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.
作为男性读者,我很负责任地说这书无趣的很。但不可否认,简•奥斯汀的文笔绝对一流。我看此书时的状态,和汤姆•汉克斯在《电子情书》里看《傲慢与偏见》的状态是一致的。人生兜兜转转一圈还是会出其不意地回到原点,不同的,是那些宝贵的经历,以及它们给自己带来的灵魂上的深度。
评分其实看了还不到一半,但我终于决定不再在这本书上耗费时间了,里面每个人物真的都太令人讨厌了,不过一直很喜欢这套书的封面,以至于10年前在书店一激动就买了
评分读完〈爱玛〉。第一次出现对女主无感的情况,自私、骄傲、冷漠,按照简"门当户对、品格互配”的风格,连带对Mr Knightly也喜欢不起来了。@moongill 说得对,我们心中都有一个小Emma,但简的描述太抽丝拨茧,接近于“我”,而使得“我”有些不愿面对。但在现实交往中,内心感受常被忽略,外在的言语、行为是判断依据,所以,这样的Emma必然是受欢迎的。
评分奥斯丁真是天才,可惜环境限制了她。然而,结局完全滑向了晋江文学啊!
评分我還是覺得英國這個時期的小說怎麼都跟肥皂劇一樣...
