Jane Austen's beloved classic Sense and Sensibility is beautifully presented in this collector's edition.
Elinor Dashwood is thoughtful, considerate, and calm. Her younger sister Marianne is emotional and wildly romantic. Both are looking for a husband, but neither Elinor's reason nor Marianne's passion can lead them to perfect happiness, as Marianne falls for an unscrupulous rascal and Elinor becomes attached to a man who's already engaged. In Jane Austen's debut novel, published in 1811, the foibles of romance, human nature, and social manners are explored with great wit and irony. No wonder the novel has been beloved by readers for over 200 years.
