Jane Austen's first published novel, "Sense and Sensibility" is the classic coming of age story of two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, who have contrasting temperaments. On the surface Elinor, the older sister represents sense, or reason, while Marianne represents sensibility, or emotion; however upon closer examination we find that they both exhibit varying aspects of each characteristic. Set in southwest England, in the towns of London and Kent, the novel follows the lives of the two sisters as they struggle to find love, romance, and ultimately deal with the heartbreaks along the way. The novel ponders the question of which is the best characteristic, sense or sensibility. It is unclear ultimately what Austen intended as the answer to this question, whether or not she left the novel purposefully ambiguous or if her suggestion is that a proper temperament requires some measure of both qualities. "Sense and Sensibility" is a compelling study of character and one of the great achievements of the romantic genre. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and includes an introduction by Reginald Brimley Johnson.
Esta novela epistolar, escrita probablemente en 1794, narra los planes de la protagonista, la recientemente viuda lady Susan, para encontrar un nuevo marido, a la vez que intenta casar a su hija de dieciséis años. Austen se sirve de este género para construir una obra en donde las distintas cartas se engarzan como piezas de un rompecabezas hasta completar ante los ojos del lector una historia de pequeñas intrigas. La obra subvierte todas las normas de la novela romántica: lady Susan tiene un papel activo; no sólo es hermosa, sino también inteligente e ingeniosa, y sus pretendientes son significativamente más jóvenes que ella. Hay escritores que nos gustan, escritores a los que admiramos y escritores a los que quisimos desde el primer párrafo del primer libro suyo que nos tuvo entre sus manos. Escritores entrañables cuyas historias se vuelven parte de las nuestras. Jane Austen es una de ellos.
