Книга «Sense and Sensibility (English Library)»

The realist character of the portrayed images and the unsurpassed reproduction of the atmosphere of old England became the visiting card of the British writer Jane Austen (1775—1817). Her work Sense and Sensibility is the histories of love of two Dashwood sisters: of reasonable Elinor who always takes into consideration common sense and the rules of propriety, and impulsive Marianne who is not ashamed of the ardency of her feelings and responds to the call of her heart. Such different are the characters and so differing is the reaction to the challenges thrown down at them by the fate. Still, the hope for the better future does not die out in the soul of each of them.
