Gems of literature in a luxurious and unique design by Marjolein
Bastin.
The Marjolein Bastin Classics Series is a chance to rediscover classic
literature in collectible, luxuriously illustrated volumes. For the
first time ever, the internationally celebrated artwork of Marjolein
Bastin graces the pages of a timeless classic, Sense and Sensibility,
the story of the Dashwood sisters*.* Beyond bringing these stories to
life, Bastin's series adds elaborately designed ephemera, such as
four-color maps, letters, family trees, and sheet music.
Discover anew the dramatic world of Sense and Sensibility. The happy
and carefree childhood of sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood comes to
an abrupt end with the death of their father. The family is suddenly
penniless and pushed out of their home, leaving the two young ladies
with one sole hope: a good marriage. After moving into the cottage of a
remote relative, the spirited Marianne falls in love much too quickly.
In the meantime, the more intellectual Elinor sees her chances for a
happy marriage fade when she discovers the man for whom she's fallen is
already engaged. Sense and Sensibility is the story of two dissimilar
sisters fighting for their happiness in the face of the strict social
conventions of early eighteenth-century England.
