Emma, by Jane Austen, is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. The novel was first published in December 1815. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian–Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners among her characters. Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." In the first sentence, she introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma is spoiled, headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives; and her imagination and perceptions often lead her astray. This novel has been adapted for several films, many television programmes, and a long list of stage plays.

Otroligt bra inläst, rekommenderar verkligen denna ljudboksupplevelse. Boken är fantastisk och det är enkelt att förstå varför den är en klassiker. Perfekt för dig som söker romans, med lite humor. Språket är lättförståerligt, men kan kräva att du har ett hum om 1700-talsuttryck på engelska & ungefär hur social vett och etikett fungerade från samma tidsperiod. Sammanfattning: Boken handlar om Emma som har väldigt höga tankar om sin förmåga att föra ihop par då hon lyckats få ett par att gifta sig tidigare. Hon tar sig an den unga Harriett Smith som ett slags projekt för att göra henne till en respektabel lady, och börjar leta lämplig partner till henne. Mitt i äktenskapsmakeriet och händelseutvecklingar måste Emma ta ett steg tillbaka och se på sig själv med ny blick.
