Beautiful, clever, and wealthy, Emma Woodhouse has everything she needs — except humility.
In Emma, Jane Austen creates one of literature's most unforgettable heroines: a young woman who means well, thinks highly of her own judgment, and causes trouble precisely because she is so certain she is right. After persuading herself that she has successfully arranged one marriage, Emma turns her attention to Harriet Smith and begins guiding her romantic future with disastrous confidence.
As misunderstandings spread through the village of Highbury, Emma discovers that matchmaking is more complicated than she imagined. Love, class, friendship, vanity, and self-knowledge all collide in Austen's dazzling comedy of manners.
With brilliant irony and emotional precision, Emma explores how easy it is to misread others — and how difficult it can be to truly know oneself. A perfect classic for readers of romantic comedy, social satire, and literary fiction, Emma remains one of Austen's most beloved and sophisticated novels.

A legionnaire's barrack in North Africa: an English gentleman, an American, a Russian and a murderer, and a woman in the canteen whom two of them will kill over. Wren claimed to have served in the Legion himself, a claim nobody has ever verified — but he wrote the code of the barrack-room so convincingly that a generation believed him. Fifty-nine plates, from Munch to Alma-Tadema, gather the barrack-room's drinkers, hatred and sudden ambush into a single gallery of Legion life.
