Sinossi
Scritto nel 1795 con il titolo di Elinor and Marianne, Ragione e sentimento fu pubblicato nel 1811. Protagoniste sono due giovani sorelle che, alla morte del padre, si trovano costrette ad affrontare una situazione economica molto critica nella loro nuova e modesta casa nel Devonshire. Qui conosceranno le pene e le gioie dell'amore, si confronteranno con difficili scelte sentimentali e matrimoniali, e, imparando a conciliare la ragione con il sentimento, diventeranno donne. Attorno a questo processo di formazione, la Austen tesse una trama piena di grazia e ironia, in cui con la sua elegantissima prosa riesce a disegnare un ritratto acuto e penetrante di un mondo convenzionale e pettegolo contro cui sia Marianne sia Elinor dovranno combattere per raggiungere quell'auspicato lieto fine che potrà nascere soltanto dall'equilibro tra i due estremi di ragione e sentimento.

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.
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
