Emma (English Edition) (Jane Austen)

"Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her. She was the youngest of the two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent father; and had, in consequence of her sister's marriage, been mistress of his house from a very early period. Her mother had died too long ago for her to have more than an indistinct remembrance of her caresses; and her place had been supplied by an excellent woman as governess, who had fallen little short of a mother in affection. " "Emma" by Jane Austen was first published in 1815. Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency England. «Emma» has been adapted several times for film, television, and stage.
