Sobre este artículo
London : J M Dent & Co, 1903 A fair to good copy, complete in 2 volumes, edited by R Brimley Johnson, and with 12 colour plates by C E Brock. 4th edition thus, published in February 1903. In original decorative cloth bindings with gilt titles to spine and front board.Top page edges gilt, other edges uncut. With half titles, showing that they were volumes VII and VIII of Brimley Johnson's series of Austen's works; colour frontispieces; decorative title pages; preface (volume 1); listing of illustrations; and text with head and tailpieces. All the plates are present as called for. Vol I has 245 pp and Vol II has 258 pp. The volumes have been rebacked, relaying the original spines, so they are sound and tight. They have bright gilt titles, but the blue decoration to the spine and boards has some fading, particularly on Vol I, affecting the front board at the spine edge and the lower half. The spines are browned. Both have a little marking on the back boards and fading to the central decoration. Corners on both are lightly turned - Vol I has a small bump to the bottom corner of the back board. Internally, the endpapers have some light toning and professional repair at the joints. Contents are clean and all the plates have new tissue guards. There is some spotting affecting text pages - this is more prevalent in the text around the plate pages. The plates themselves tend to have some very light spotting in the margins which does not affect the images. There is light toning towards page edges. Vol I has professional paper repair at the bottom edge of p 58.
Sinopsis
Emma is a novel by Jane Austen, published in 1815. The story follows the life of Emma Woodhouse, a wealthy and beautiful young woman who lives in the English countryside. Emma fancies herself as a matchmaker and sets out to find a suitable husband for her friend Harriet Smith. However, her attempts to play cupid lead to several misadventures, including a love triangle involving her own romantic interests. As the story unfolds, Emma learns important lessons about humility, love, and the consequences of meddling in the lives of others. The novel is a satire of the English upper class and is widely considered a classic of English literature.
