Emma
Энэ электрон номын тухай
When Emma’s close friend and trusted companion, Miss Taylor, marries a neighbouring widower, the wealthy young lady is left with her father as her only friend. Having renounced the idea of her own marriage, Emma turns her attentions to matchmaking. Despite her best intentions, she’s often careless and selfish, and her interference in the love lives of others forces her to address issues she’s been trying her upmost to ignore.
Set in the fictional English country village of Highbury and its surrounding estates, Emma is Jane Austen’s most-beloved comedy and explores the pressured lives of Georgian-Regency women. First published in 1815, this romantic comedy of misunderstandings, pride, and friendship is a wonderfully lighthearted read.

Зохиогчийн тухай
Jane Austen (1775–1817) was an English author born in Hampshire, England. She’s best-known for her novels in which she critiques eighteenth-century society and displays her characteristically sharp wit. Austen’s most famous works include ‘Sense and Sensibility’ (1811), ‘Pride and Prejudice’ 1813, and ‘Emma’ (1816). Although her works have now been translated and printed in editions across the globe, Austen was relatively unknown during her lifetime, publishing her novels anonymously.
