Sense and Sensibility

Jane Austen
Sense and Sensibility

Two sisters of opposing temperaments who share the pangs of tragic love provide the theme for Jane Austen's dramatically human narrative. Elinor, practical and conventional, is the perfection of sense. Marianne, emotional and sentimental, is the embodiment of sensibility. To each comes the sorrow of unhappy love. Their mutual suffering brings a closer understanding between the two sisters—and true love finally triumphs when sense gives way to sensibility and sensibility gives way to sense. Jane Austen's authentic representation of early-nineteenth-century middle-class provincial life, written with forceful insight and gentle irony, makes her novels the enduring works on the mores and manners of her time.With an Introduction by Margaret Drabble and an Afterword by Mary Balogh

A Woodland Queen ('Reine des Bois') — Complete

CROWNED BY THE FRENCH ACADEMY French author Andre Theuriet is well known for his many poems and novels focusing on the woodland life, as well as his emphasis on drama rather than adventure. And plainly, that's so here: After his father dies intestate -- that is, leaving no will -- Claudet de Buxieres' future seems grim. When Julien de Buxieres, a distant cousin, arrives to assume control of Claudet's rightful inheritance, it looks as though a struggle will ensue over who will control the late Claude Buxieres' estate. Instead, after an initial cool reception, the two become close friends and the conflict arises from their mutual attraction to the same girl. Here, in A Woodland Queen, Theuriet's rich description and compelling attention to detail create memorable characters and a vivid setting. We find ourselves ensnared by Theuriet's straightforward narrative and compelling characterization, and think that we can ensure that A Woodland Queen will keep you riveted until the very last word.

If you loved Gene Stratton-Porter's A Girl of the Limberlost, be sure to add her later novel A Daughter of the Land to your reading list. The family that serves as the focus of the novel isn't perfect, but they manage to fix their foibles and come together to make something beautiful and lasting. It's an engaging read for anyone who's ever fantasized about leaving city life behind and living off the land.
