The most perfect of Jane Austen's perfect novels begins with 21-year-old Emma Woodhouse comfortably dominating the social order in the village of Highbury, convinced that she has both the understanding and the right to manage other people's lives - for their own good, of course.

A comic novel, first published in December 1815, Emma tells of the perils of misconstrued romance. The main character Emma Woodhouse is a well-to-do young woman in a small English town who is a self-appointed matchmaker. The story explores the nature of these orchestrated matches coming to life through the hilarious characters including arguably Austen's two greatest comic creations - the eccentric Mr. Woodhouse and the quintessential bore, Miss Bates.

Emma Woodhouse é bela e inteligente, mas um pouco convencida. Ela vive bem com o pai na pequena cidade de Highbury. Quando sua querida amiga Miss Taylor se casa com o vizinho Mr. Weston, Emma é confrontada com um grande vazio e decide ajudar os outros para que tenham uma vida tão perfeita como a dela. Ela resolve arranjar casamentos e começa a proteger Harriet Smith, uma jovem simples de outro nível social.

Emma is young, rich and independent. She has decided not to get married and instead spends her time organising her acquaintances' love affairs. Her plans for the matrimonial success of her new friend Harriet, however, lead her into complications that ultimately test her own detachment from the world of romance.

Arrogant, self-willed, and egotistical, Emma is Jane Austen's most unusual heroine. Her interfering ways and inveterate matchmaking are at once shocking and comic. She is "handsome, clever, and rich" and has "a disposition to think too well of herself." When she decides to introduce the humble Harriet Smith to the delights of genteel society and to find her a suitable husband, she precipitates herself and her immediate circle into a web of misunderstanding and intrigue, from which no one emerges unchanged.

Clever and confident, Emma is positive that she can find the perfect husband for her new friend Harriet. But with one mistake after another, Emma realizes that she might not understand people as well as she thought. In fact, she might not even understand her own heart.

Emma Woodhouse has it all: She's beautiful, rich and very clever - maybe too clever - but she also has too much time on her hands. So Emma decides to dabble in the lives of others, setting about making romantic matches - but why can't she find the right suitor for herself?

Emma was the last completed novel by Jane Austen. It tells the story of a spirited and opinionated young woman who lives with her widowed father and who has an unfortunate penchant for interfering in the love life of those around her. As others in her small circle gradually find partners, the question which is at the center of all Jane Austen novels remains to be answered: how will Emma find a husband for herself?

Pubblicato anonimo nel 1816, "Emma" appartiene agli scritti di Jane Austen cosiddetti "della maturità". Al centro del romanzo Emma Woodhouse, una giovane donna bellissima e un po' "viziata" che, rimasta padrona assoluta della casa dove vive dopo il matrimonio della sorella, si trova a gestire il piccolo mondo che le ruota intorno.

Originally released as vinyl records, these expertly abridged and remastered stories are now available to download. Impressively witty, beautiful and vain, with a penchant for meddling, Emma Woodhouse is a mischievous force to be reckoned with. Though she has convinced herself that she will never marry, she somehow has garnered skills for 'matchmaking'. The formidable Prunella Scales brings the satirical bite to this timeless comedy of manners, reigniting Austen's unfailing exploration of society's obsession with class, its influence on a woman's choices and a woman's right to love.
