"Pride and Prejudice" is Jane Austen's masterpiece. This work uses daily life as the material. It goes against the content and artificial writing methods of sentimental novels that were popular in the society at that time. It vividly reflects the conservative and closed-off British rural life and world conditions from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th century. Although "Sense and Sensibility" is Jane Austen's first novel, her writing skills are already quite proficient. The novel takes the tortuous and complicated marriage turmoil of the two heroines as the main line, and raises issues of moral and behavioral norms through the humorous comparison of "reason and emotion". Every plot in the story has been ingeniously conceived by the author. The superficial causal relationship and the underlying reasons hidden behind the scenes are all natural and reasonable. Emma, ​​the protagonist of "Emma", is a beautiful, intelligent and wealthy girl, and she is also an out-and-out dreamer. She enthusiastically pays attention to the romantic stories around her, but stubbornly believes that she will never fall into them. She took it upon herself to direct love affairs again and again for the orphan Harriet. When Harriet mistakenly thought she was in love with the magistrate Mr. Knightley, Emma was shocked to realize that she was also in love with Mr. Knightley. Although this was contrary to the vow she had announced from the beginning that she would never marry, she had to give up her innocent vow when she fell in love. "Sanditon" This book includes Austen's unfinished novel "Sanditon" and the novella "Lady Susan". "Sanditon" was Austen's final work, and she died after writing only twelve chapters.

In addition, this book fully demonstrates her accurate grasp of the character's psychology and has an unexpected Austen-style ending.

He walked through the grassy alleys of the ancient capital of Beijing, missing the fragrance of jasmine in Sioux City, and lamenting the glory and death of women such as Yang Yuhuan and Yu Xuanji in the glory of the Tang Dynasty. Tokyo and Beijing, ancient people and modern people, share the same moonlight. The author recalls the past, expresses himself, and feels the joys and sorrows of the world.
