Sense and Sensibility Spanish Edition

«La pongo al par de Shakespeare, Cervantes y Henry Fielding.» Henry James En 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.

Jane Austen’s first published novel,Sense and Sensibilityis a wonderfully entertaining tale of flirtation and folly that revolves around two starkly different sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. While Elinor is thoughtful, considerate, and calm, her younger sister is emotional and wildly romantic. Both are looking for a husband, but neither Elinor’s reason nor Marianne’s passion can lead them to perfect happiness—as Marianne falls for an unscrupulous rascal and Elinor becomes attached to a man who’s already engaged.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Startling secrets, unexpected twists, and heartless betrayals interrupt the marriage games that follow. Filled with satiric wit and subtle characterizations,Sense and Sensibilityteaches that true love requires a balance of reason and emotion.

Sense and Sensibility

Marianne Dashwood can't understand her sister. How could the attractive, witty, and charming Elinor fall for the quiet, self-effacing, and rather dull Edward Ferrars? And, if the two are in love, why don't they shout it to the world? Meanwhile, Elinor worries that Marianne's heart-first approach to life will hurt her, especially when it comes to the dashing John Willoughby. The two sisters spar good-naturedly over the merits of full-blown emotionalism versus reticence and self-discipline in matters of the heart.
