この電子書籍について
Emma is about the life of a beautiful, clever and rich woman of
twenty-one, who lives with her father in their huge estate. The
wealthy, and somewhat spoilt Emma Woodhouse has no interest
in falling in love or getting married, but finds pleasure in trying
to make romantic matches for her friends. After the successful
union of Miss Taylor, her long time governess and friend, with
Mr Weston, she takes young Harriet Smith under her wing, the
next target of her matchmaking schemes.
Mr Knightley, a trusted friend of the Wood houses, is the only
one who criticizes her and advises whenever necessary, but
the naïve Emma has a long way to go before she realises the
consequences of her actions as a self-proclaimed matchmaker.
The story follows Emma’s journey through all her meddling
and how she discovers a lot about herself and about an
unrealised love!

著者について
Jane Austen's life is striking for the contrast between the great works she wrote in secret and the outward appearance of being quite dull and ordinary. Austen was born in the small English town of Steventon in Hampshire, and educated at home by her clergyman father. She was deeply devoted to her family. For a short time, the Austens lived in the resort city of Bath, but when her father died, they returned to Steventon, where Austen lived until her death at the age of 41. Austen was drawn to literature early, she began writing novels that satirized both the writers and the manners of the 1790's. Her sharp sense of humor and keen eye for the ridiculous in human behavior gave her works lasting appeal. She is at her best in such books as Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816), in which she examines and often ridicules the behavior of small groups of middle-class characters. Austen relies heavily on conversations among her characters to reveal their personalities, and at times her novels read almost like plays. Several of them have, in fact, been made into films. She is considered to be one of the most beloved British authors.
