"Elinor is as prudent as her sister Marianne is impetuous. Each must learn from the other after they are they are forced by their father's death to leave their home and enter into the contests of polite society. The charms of unsuitable men and the schemes of rival ladies mean that their paths to success are thwart with disappointment but together they attempt to find a way to happiness."
"Die feine englische Gesellschaft zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts: Nach dem Tod ihres Vaters stehen die Schwestern Elinor und Marianne Dashwood beinahe mittellos da. Kein Wunder also, dass sie sich nach einer guten Partie umsehen. Doch wie verschieden sind die beiden Schwestern. Während Elinor all ihren Verehrern kühl gegenübertritt, schwärmt die hübsche Marianne von der romantischen Liebe. Und Marianne scheint auch das grosse Los gezogen zu haben. Der junge, stattliche Willoughby macht ihr Geschenke und bietet ihr lange Kutschfahrten und romantische Spaziergänge. Um so schlimmer für die zarte Marianne, als er sie bitter enttäuscht. 'Einmal im Leben sollte jede das Recht haben, aus Liebe zu heiraten.' Jane Austen Jane Austens Kunst der Seelenanalyse mutet bis heute modern an. 'Austen war kein zahmes Huhn, das in seinem literarischen Vorgärtchen pickte, sondern das eleganteste satirische Talent des ausgehenden 18. Jahrhunderts.' Die Zeit Jane Austen wurde 1775 in Steventon (Hampshire) als Tochter eines Landpfarrers geboren. Sie gilt als die herausragendste Vertreterin des englischen Gesellschaftsromans. Mit ihrem ersten grossen Werk Sense and Sensibility (1811) wandte sie sich gegen die zeitgenössische empfindsame Literatur, statt dessen schilderte sie das alltägliche, scheinbar ausgeglichene Leben des Bürgertums sowie des niederen Adels. Weitere wichtige Werke von Jane Austen: Stolz und Vorurteil (1813, Dt. 1948), Emma (1818, dt. 1961) und Mansfield Park (1814, Dt. 1968). Jane Austen starb 1817 im Alter von einundvierzig Jahren an Tuberkulose. Erst nach ihrem Tod wurde sie als Schriftstellerin anerkannt."
