Sense and Sensibility

★Austen's most popular classics ★40 of the most classic original illustrations by Irish illustrator Thomson, who is the most widely circulated and most inspired by Austen's works, vividly reproduce the classic scenes ★The translator Wu Lao wrote the "Translation Preface", which provides a comprehensive analysis of the classics. This book is Austen's first published work, and it can be called a companion volume to Pride and Prejudice. Two sisters, Eleanor and Marianne, were born into a decent British squire family. The elder sister is good at controlling her emotions with reason, but the younger sister has no restraint in emotions. Therefore, when encountering setbacks in love, the two have different reactions: the elder sister endures humiliation and is always kind to others; the younger sister is arrogant and almost collapses... And the fate of the protagonist The love-related idle squire's wife, the snobbish and ruthless brother-in-law's family, the philistine and hypocritical distant sisters, and the lovers who are either morally corrupt or upright and gentle in the hearts of girls all appear in this turmoil, creating a classic story that is famous for its delicate writing and vivid dialogue, and tells the story of the marriage of girls without a wealthy dowry. This book uses more than 40 original illustrations by Hugh Thomson, a British painter from the late 19th century who best captures the charm of Austen's works, and has been handed down to this day to vividly reproduce classic scenes.
