Sense and Sensibility is the story of the two Dashwood sisters, who embody the conflict between the oppressive nature of “civilized” society and the human desire for romantic passion. Elinor is cautious and unassuming about sentimental matters, while Marianne is wild and passionate, falling hopelessly in love with Mr Willoughby. But the lessons in life and romance see the two characters develop and change, with sense and sensibility needing to be compromised as a matter of survival • Austen’s first published work, the novel has been read as an autobiographical reflection of her relationship with her own sister Cassandra. Against the backdrop of a fragile social context, Jane Austen creates a romantic masterpiece of raw and intense quality

Джейн Остин, похоже, родилась с комической точностью и потусторонним прозрением, которые она повсюду демонстрирует в "Смысле и восприимчивости", ее первом опубликованном романе (1811), который, хотя и был переработан позже, был завершен в 1797 году в возрасте двадцати двух лет. Эта тщательно сконструированная история о двух сестрах с противоположными темпераментами и романтическими наклонностями является примером чистого духа классицизма в английской литературе • Книга на английском языке • Jane Austen seems to have been born with the comic precision and other-worldly insight she everywhere displays in Sense and Sensibility, her first published novel (1811), which, though revised later, was completed in 1797 at the age of twenty-two. This meticulously constructed story of two sisters with opposing temperaments and romantic inclinations exemplifies the distilled spirit of classicism in English literature
