DK Classics Emma (DK Classics)

A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Jane Austen’s beloved novel with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, and a silk ribbon bookmark. “I lay it down as a general rule, Harriet, that if a woman doubts as to whether she should accept a man or not, she certainly ought to refuse him.” Emma is young, rich and independent. She has decided not to get married and instead spends her time organizing her acquaintances' love affairs. Her plans for the matrimonial success of her new friend Harriet, however, lead her into complications that ultimately test her own detachment from the world of romance. Originally published in 1816, Jane Austen’s classic novel remains an entertaining exploration of class and female empowerment. This hardback is part of DK CLASSICS, a luxurious series of classic titles, thoughtfully crafted for collectors and fans of beautiful special editions. Each complete, unabridged book features sumptuous design and the highest quality finishes. Discover timeless classics beautifully bound for every bookshelf.
