Sinossi
Elinor e Marianne sono due sorelle legate da un fortissimo affetto, ma dalle personalità profondamente distanti: la diciannovenne Elinor, riflessiva e razionale, osserva con estrema preoccupazione l'indole romantica, impulsiva e sognatrice della sorella minore. Quando il padre muore lasciandole in una condizione di estrema precarietà economica, la madre teme per il futuro delle proprie figlie. Finché un giorno nella loro vita appartata irrompe l'affascinante Willoughby: colto, galante, impetuoso, non può che rubare il cuore della giovane Marianne. Ma anche la passione più ardente è destinata a scontrarsi con la spietatezza della realtà. L'eterno conflitto tra cuore e ragione in un capolavoro che ha fatto riflettere e sognare generazioni di lettrici.

Money. It's all about the money. I mean, why else would you marry someone? In Sense and Sensibility there are three major factors beyond the usual considerations of appearance, personality and character conduct when looking for a marriage in 19th century England. Indeed, what the Dashwood sisters loo Leggi tutto

While I enjoyed the relationship between the sisters, I didn't care for the romances. Colonel Brandon is <3 but probably not the best match for (view spoiler) [Marianne.

I'm not a fan of Jane Austen. I've given her many chances, and do really want to like her work, but am always let down -- until now, that is! I enjoyed Sense and Sensibility so much more than I was expecting to! I still wouldn't rank it on the same level as the Bronte sisters, but the story is sardo Leggi tutto
Sense and Sensibility is dense with inactivity.
This is a great story even though neither heroine is my favorite. And I'm not really crazy about the boys, either. I'm not saying Austen wrote them incorrectly, but these were different times, and not all the stuff they did translates all that well into most people's version of what a modern-day heroi Leggi tutto
Jane Austen’s first published work, Sense and Sensibility , published in 1811, is more straightforward than most of her later works. The story focuses on two sisters, ages 17 and 19, and how their romantic interests and relationships epitomize their different approaches to life. The older sister Elin Leggi tutto
RE-READ January 30, 2019 - Do you ever notice how Colonel Brandon is a man, who steps up and takes care of things like a man? Edward is kind of useless, I think Marianne got the real prize here. Also fascinating just how much Austen is saying in this novel. She's saying A LOT and more and more become Leggi tutto
