[About the Author] Jane Austen (1775-1817) is a famous British female writer and one of the brightest stars in the history of modern English literature.

According to Edmund Wilson, a great literary critic, there had been several interesting revolutions in the history of English literature in the history of British literature of nearly a century and a quarter; however, only Shakespeare and Austin's works never really lost their appeal.

Representative works: Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility. [Introduction] This book is the first published work of Jane Austen and can be regarded as a companion to Pride and Prejudice.

The sisters, Eleanor and Marian, were born in a respectable squire family in the UK.

The elder sister is good at controlling her emotions with sense; however, the younger sister has no restraints in emotions.

Therefore, they make different reactions when encountering setbacks in love: The elder sister endures humiliation and is always kind to others; however, the younger sister is arrogant and almost collapsed...

Several characters closely related to the fates of the protagonists, including idle squire's wife, snobbish and pitiless elder brother and his wife, philistine and hypocritical distant sisters, and the young girls' lovers who are morally corrupt, honest or irresolute, appear in this disturbance, which finally makes a classical story about love and marriage of young girls without many dowries.

This work is known for the delicate writing style and vivid dialogues.

Through 40 attractive original illustrations of Hugh Thomson, a British painter at the end of the 19th century, who best embodied the romantic charm of Jane Austin's works, this book reproduces the classic scenes vividly.
