Emma Woodhouse is an intelligent, active and industrious young woman who spends her days planning how to get her friends to pair up after the success she had with the marriage of her governess, friend and confidant and one of her neighbors.

After her friend gets married, Emma is left alone with her thoughts and the way to fill the emptiness of her days is to manipulate and channel the feelings of her friends to get married and lead a perfect life.

But the game gets out of hand to the point of creating a complicated web of lies, entanglements and confusions, leading to unforeseen situations and most of the time very funny.

When we talk about romantic literature, there is no other who knows how to do it better than Jane Austen, and with Emma you will see reflected once again the irony, the wonderful sense of humor and the great ability that the author had to create arguments that catch you from beginning to end.

Although you may not fall in love like Elizabeth Bennet or Fanny Price, Emma Woodhouse has a very particular personality of her own that ends up liking, although neither you nor she knows what she is really thinking.

Lesley's Castle is a collection of ten stories written by the author when she was between 12 and 18 years old, with some that can be considered unfinished and others more developed.

The stories included in this book are not very extensive, the longest has only 27 pages and the shortest with only one. They are like essays of ideas and the first annotations of future works of the author.

In Hertfordshire of Longbourn live the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. Mr. Bennet is a man of incredible wit and wisdom, while Mrs. lives with perpetual concern for the future of her daughters.

The Bennets are proud to have five daughters, Jane, Elizabeth, Lydia, Kitty and Mary, and our particular story will focus on older Jane and Lizzy.

The plot will really begin when the wealthy young Mr. Charles Bingley enters the scene, along with his friend Fitzwilliam Darcy.

With Mrs. Bennet's firm intention of marrying off one of her daughters, the five sisters will be sent to a society ball where they will be introduced to Mr. Bingley.

He will fall in love with the older sister Jane. At this point, anyone would think the story would revolve around these two characters, but the plot would actually focus on Mr. Bingley's young friend, Darcy, and the eldest second daughter Elizabeth.

A true masterpiece full of love, friendship, social position and the pride of one added to the prejudices of another, which will hinder love until it is almost too late.

Jane Austen's best work and the author's favorite. If you have not yet seen its film adaptation, you are in luck, it is highly recommended to read the book first and then watch the movie if you want.

Steventon Rectory was Jane's home for the first 25 years of her life. From here he travelled to Kent to stay with his brother Edward at his Godmersham Park mansion near Canterbury, and also spent a somewhat shorter holiday in Bath, where his uncles lived. During the 1790s he wrote the first drafts of Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey:  his travels to Kent and Bath provided him with the local character of the setting for the latter two novels.
