  Jane Austen

  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..

  Vivid vignettes rich with the sights, sounds, and tastes of New Orleans: “A worthy contribution to the library of books celebrating life in the Big Easy.” —Times-Picayune Offering innovative insights into such New Orleans mainstays as Carnival and the Quarter, as well as food, music, sports, politics, history, and more, Errol Laborde provides a look at aspects of Crescent City living usually reserved for residents. The essays include an Orleanian ode entitled “In Praise of the Potato Poor Boy” and several explorations and explanations of Mr. Bingle, the only symbol of Christmas that is unique to New Orleans. These eighty-one vignettes originally appeared in Laborde’s Streetcar column, which currently runs in New Orleans Magazine.  “Strung together like a handful of Mardi Gras beads thrown from a passing float, Laborde’s tales reveal the bright and beautiful as well as the dim and gaudy sides of the city.” —Southern Living
