Two sisters of opposing temperament but who share the pangs of tragic
love provide the subjects for Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.
Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning,
clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon
markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any
book lover. Gorgeously illustrated by the celebrated Hugh Thomson, this
Macmillan Collector's Library edition also includes an afterword by
author and critic Henry Hitchings.
Elinor, practical and conventional, the epitome of sense, desires a man
who is promised to another woman. Marianne, emotional and sentimental,
the epitome of sensibility, loses her heart to a scoundrel who jilts
her. A powerful drama of family life and growing up, Sense and
Sensibility is at once a subtle comedy of manners and a striking
critique of early nineteenth-century society.
