Emma(ISBN=9780143117803)

　　《爱玛》是英国乡村中产阶级生活的工笔浮世绘，也是奥斯丁六部小说中最成功的一部，它以滑稽曲折的情节而独占鳌头，讲述一个任性自负的女子如何发现真爱就在身边的故事。奥斯丁笔下的女主人公大多热情聪明独立、言谈机智风趣，与现代女性心理有灵犀，处处相通。

　　"I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like," Jane Austen wrote, but young Emma Woodhouse, in spite of her weaknesses, has charmed generations of readers. Bossy, a little spoilt, and too eager to control other's lives for what she believes is their own good, she creates misunderstandings with every tactic she employs. But when her attempts to match-make go awry, she learns a hard lesson about life, love, and growing up. The world's greatest works of literature are now available in beautiful keepsake volumes. Bound in real cloth, and featuring gilt edges and ribbon markers, these beautifully produced books are a wonderful way to build a handsome library of classic literature. These are the essential novels that belong in every home. They'll transport readers to imaginary worlds and provide excitement, entertainment, and enlightenment for years to come. All of these novels feature attractive illustrations and have an unequalled period feel that will grace the library, the bedside table or bureau.

　　Jane Austen (1775-1817) was extremely modest about her own genius but has become one of English literature's most famous women writers. She is the author of Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Persuasion, Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey.
