Sense and sensibility (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781986448857)

The first-published of Jane Austen's novels, Sense and Sensibility takes up one of her great themes: how a woman should traverse the line between passion (or sense") and reason ("sensibility"). Austen's creations, the Dashwood sisters, embody both characteristics, as they pursue love, happiness, and their neighbor, Mr. Willoughby. What is the ideal path for a young woman--following her passions wherever they may lead? Or following the wise path society has laid before her, despite the callings of her heart? The internal struggles of women to centuries ago are not so dissimilar to those of our modern age, which is why Jane Austen speaks so clearly to us from afar. Sense and Sensibility, one of the indisputably essential parts of the Austen canon, will make you reconsider your own choices, and think about the path you want to follow in the future.
