  Pride and Prejudice is a masterpiece of wit and perception, ridiculing the superficial manners of Jane Austen’s time. But it is more than just social satire.  Notice, in particular, how the author’s close attention to detail makes the events and characters so true to life. Above all, enjoy the story – its sheer narrative force and humour – and enter a world of snobbery, romance and uncertainty, in which people behave casually, indifferently or even cruelly – in short just like people behave everywhere in the world today.

  "Sense and Sensibility" is a classic novel written by Jane Austen, first published in 1811. The novel is set in the early 19th century and follows the lives of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, as they navigate love, societal expectations, and financial challenges. The story unfolds when the sisters, along with their mother, find themselves in reduced circumstances after the death of their father. Due to the laws of inheritance at the time, the family estate passes to a half-brother, leaving the Dashwood women in a precarious financial situation. This change in circumstances forces the sisters to confront the realities of a society where marriage is often a woman's primary means of financial security. 
  Elinor Dashwood is characterized by her "sense," representing practicality and restrained emotions. In contrast, Marianne Dashwood embodies "sensibility," emphasizing emotion and romantic ideals. The novel explores how these differing approaches to life and love shape the sisters' experiences and relationships. 
   
  As the Dashwood sisters navigate the complex social landscape, they encounter a cast of characters, including potential suitors and friends. The novel delves into themes such as love, class, societal expectations, and the limitations placed on women in the early 19th century. Austen's writing is known for its wit, irony, and social commentary. "Sense and Sensibility" is no exception, as it offers a satirical portrayal of the manners and conventions of the time while providing keen insights into human nature. The novel is a delightful exploration of romance and societal norms, and it remains a beloved classic that continues to captivate readers with its timeless themes and engaging characters.
