Synopsis:

'The more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!'

Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love—and its threatened loss—the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.

From the Back Cover: “Sense and Sensibility” is perhaps one of the most famous novels by English writer Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), along with the equally famous and important “Pride and Prejudice”. Through the contrast of the characters of two sisters, one all reasoning and judgment (sense) and the other all passion, emotion and romanticism (sensibility), as well as the vicissitudes of their loves and personal relationships, the author presents us with a thorough painting of the society of her time. Their reactions, sorrows and joys, in which the triumph of love is always present, with a very modern conception of the subject, overcoming obstacles and problems, with a subtle irony and humour that make reading the novel more enjoyable and delightful.
