La emblem�tica obra de Jane Austen, llevada nuevamente al cine.

�La pongo al par de Shakespeare, Cervantes y Henry Fielding.� - Henry James

En Sentido y sensibilidad, Jane Austen explora con sutileza e iron�a las opciones de la mujer en una sociedad r�gida, donde el �xito o el fracaso dependen de la elecci�n del marido. La historia se centra en dos hermanas, Elinor y Marianne, cuyas personalidades antag�nicas ejemplifican dos posibles respuestas femeninas ante la hipocres�a dominante: el �sentido com�n� y la �sensibilidad�. Sin embargo, tanto un camino como el otro entra�an sus peligros.

Esta edici�n incorpora una cronolog�a detallada y recupera la introducci�n de la edici�n original de Penguin Cl�sicos a cargo de Tony Tanner, uno de los mayores especialistas en la obra de Jane Austen, a cuyo estudio dedic� gran parte de su carrera. Fue catedr�tico de literatura inglesa y norteamericana en la Universidad de Cambridge.

�Venga, entre amigos no hay secretos.�

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Jane Austen’s beloved classic, newly adapted as a major motion picture.

Jane Austen's first published work, meticulously constructed and sparkling with her unique wit Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo.

Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love. This edition also includes explanatory notes and textual variants between first and second edition. For more than seventy years,

About the Author

Jane Austen (Steventon, 16 de diciembre de 1775 - Winchester, 18 de julio de 1817) fue una destacada novelista brit�nica que vivi� durante el per�odo de la Regencia. La iron�a que emplea para dotar de comicidad a sus novelas hace que Jane Austen sea considerada entre los �Cl�sicos� de la novela inglesa, a la vez que su recepci�n va, incluso en la actualidad, m�s all� del inter�s acad�mico, siendo sus obras le�das por un p�blico m�s amplio.

Naci� en la rector�a de Steventon (Hampshire). Su familia pertenec�a a la burgues�a agraria, contexto del que no sali� y en el que sit�a todas sus obras, siempre en torno al matrimonio de su protagonista. La candidez de las obras de Austen, sin embargo, es meramente aparente, si bien puede interpretarse de varias maneras. Los c�rculos acad�micos siempre han considerado a Austen como una escritora conservadora, mientras que la cr�tica feminista m�s actual apunta que en su obra puede apreciarse una novelizaci�n del pensamiento de Mary Wollstonecraft sobre la educaci�n de la mujer.

Ha sido llevada al cine en diferentes ocasiones, algunas veces reproducidas de forma fiel, como el cl�sico M�s fuerte que el orgullo de 1940 dirigido por Robert Z. Leonard y protagonizada por Greer Garson y Laurence Olivier, y en otras haciendo adaptaciones a la �poca actual, como es el caso de Clueless, adaptaci�n libre de Emma, o bien Sentido y sensibilidad, de 1995; Mansfield Park, de 2000, y las versiones de Orgullo y prejuicio en 2004 (dirigida por Gurinder Chadha) y en 2005 (dirigida por Joe Wright). Sin embargo la versi�n m�s fiel y perfecta que hasta ahora se ha hecho del libro de Orgullo y prejuicio es la serie que present� la BBC protagonizada por Colin Firth y Jenniffer Ehle.

El inter�s que la obra de Jane Austen sigue despertando hoy en d�a muestra la vigencia de su pensamiento y la influencia que ha tenido en la literatura posterior. Su vida tambi�n ha sido llevada al cine con la pel�cula Becoming Jane en 2007.
