Feeling and sensitivity
9.99 €
Jane Austen was introduced to the world thanks to her work "Sense and Sensibility". She wrote the novel "Elinor and Marianne" back in 1798, but revised it several times, and only 13 years later the book was published under the title familiar to modern readers.
Two sisters. Two paths to happiness. Elinor believes in reason, Marianne - in feelings. Elinor is used to approaching everything wisely, Marianne - to act impulsively. They are different, but both dream, even if deep down, of true love. Will Elinor's prudence or Marianne's ardent heart prove to be an obstacle?
In the original title of the novel - Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen contrasts two ways of experiencing the world. Sense is prudence, internal control, the ability to think about others and act with restraint, like Elinor. Sensibility is impressionability, life on emotions, a tendency to violent impulses, like Marianne. Austin does not show black and white morality, but a difficult choice between different forms of feeling. And offers a balance: only by uniting reason and sensitivity can one be truly mature and loving.
The book is presented in a classic design from ultraharmonica.
