Emma

Jane Austen's "Emma" – the illustrated gift edition in a decorative slipcase. Jane Austen's great classic as a beautifully illustrated half-cloth volume in an embossed decorative slipcase, wonderfully illustrated in pastel colors and sensitive sepia tones by the renowned Cologne portrait artist Simone Bingemer. Like "Pride and Prejudice," "Emma" is an indispensable part of English literature, a classic of emotion and humor. At the center is the charming Emma – wealthy and attractive. Although she never intends to marry herself, she has the disastrous idea of being a particularly good matchmaker. However, all her efforts lead only to entanglements and misguided flirts. It is only at the end that she discovers her heart instead of her calculations, leading to three weddings. Through her irony and masterful language, Jane Austen gives the reader the chance to look over her characters' shoulders. In the celebrated new translation by Manfred Allié and Gabriele Kempf-Allié, "Emma" finally finds the resonance it needs for this conversation to fully unfold.
