"Sto lavorando ad un'eroina che non piacerà a nessuno, tranne a me stessa" così Jane Austen parlava di Emma, la sua protagonista, un'eroina assolutamente anticonvenzionale per l'epoca, una ragazza bella intelligente e ricca, con una grande autostima, libertà d'azione e un'indole brillante. Emma Woodhouse è una ventunenne che non intende sposarsi, consapevole che il matrimonio sia per lei del tutto inutile (vista la situazione già così felice) e consapevole che, in virtù della sua posizione sociale, non diventerà mai una povera zitella, ma sarà sempre una donna ricca di fascino e interessi.

Mądra i pewna siebie Emma jest przekonana, że umie znaleźć idealnego męża dla swojej nowej przyjaciółki Harriet. Popełnia jednak jeden błąd za drugim i wreszcie zdaje sobie sprawę, że być może wcale nie zna ludzi tak dobrze, jak jej się wydawało. W rzeczywistości być może nie rozumie nawet własnych uczuć – zwłaszcza wobec pewnego dżentelmena.

Emma Woodhouse no es la típica heroína de Austen; no es dependiente, no tiene un status y una economía precarios. Tampoco necesita cazar un marido para asegurar su futuro. Al contrario, es una joven "inteligente, bella y rica", que no aspira al matrimonio y que rige.

Emma Woodhouse, "belle, intelligente et riche" a vingt-et-un ans. Elle habite la belle demeure de Hartfield, près du gros bourg de Highbury, avec son père âgé, hypocondriaque et veuf, entourée d'amis fidèles, tel Mr. Knightley, son beau-frère, propriétaire du riche domaine voisin de Donwell Abbey. Son ancienne gouvernante, Miss Taylor, vient d'épouser un veuf fortuné, Mr. Weston, dont le fils a été adopté tout jeune par son oncle et sa tante, les Churchill, avec qui il vit à Enscombe, dans le Yorkshire.

Emma Woodhouse es una joven hermosa, lista y rica, y a la vez, bastante mimada y empeñada en hacer de casamentera. Cuando la joven pierde la compañía de su antigua institutriz, se enfrenta a un vacío en su vida y decide ayudar a los demás a tener una vida tan perfecta como la suya. Es así que toma bajo su tutela a la humilde Harriet Smith para conseguirle un marido. Así, sus afanes para que Harriet tenga un matrimonio ventajoso junto con su personalidad manipuladora, provocarán una serie de enredos, malentendidos y confusiones que pondrán a prueba la confianza en sí misma y retrasarán su propio final feliz.

In this BBC radio full-cast dramatisation, Jane Austen introduces us to the handsome, clever and very flawed Emma Wodehouse. While she is perfectly content with her life and has no interest in love or marriage for herself, she enjoys nothing more than matchmaking those around her. Mr Knightly tries to talk Emma Woodhouse out of this but when she pushes on anyway, her life, and the lives of the friends around her, are irreversibly changed....

Emma Woodhouse has successfully played matchmaker for her friend and discovers that she has a taste for setting up romances for her friends. She gets to work meddling in her friends’ affair, convincing them to call off imminent engagements and relationships in favor of ones she creates. The matchmaking quickly gets out of Emma’s hands, and her actions and instructions begin harming the people she cares about.

Originally released as vinyl records, these expertly abridged and remastered stories are now available to download. Impressively witty, beautiful and vain, with a penchant for meddling, Emma Woodhouse is a mischievous force to be reckoned with. Though she has convinced herself that she will never marry, she somehow has garnered skills for 'matchmaking'. The formidable Prunella Scales brings the satirical bite to this timeless comedy of manners, reigniting Austen's unfailing exploration of society's obsession with class, its influence on a woman's choices and a woman's right to love.

Pubblicato anonimo nel 1816, "Emma" appartiene agli scritti di Jane Austen cosiddetti "della maturità". Al centro del romanzo Emma Woodhouse, una giovane donna bellissima e un po' "viziata" che, rimasta padrona assoluta della casa dove vive dopo il matrimonio della sorella, si trova a gestire il piccolo mondo che le ruota intorno.

Emma Woodhouse ist eine wohlsituierte junge Dame von 21 Jahren, die mit ihrem Vater in Highbury, einem kleinen Dorf in der Nähe von London lebt. Die Woodhouses gehören zu den ersten Familien im Ort. Das Buch beginnt unmittelbar nach der von Emma arrangierten Verheiratung ihrer Erzieherin, Miss Taylor, die damit zu Mrs. Weston wird und einen gesellschaftlichen Aufstieg macht. Weil Emma die Verehelichung ihrer Erzieherin gelungen ist, sieht sie ihre Fähigkeiten auf genau diesem Gebiet, und sie sinnt nach einem neuen Arrangement, das ihr die Langeweile vertreiben soll.

In this richly rewarding listening experience, Alison Larkin's acclaimed recordings of Jane Austen's iconic novels Mansfield Park and Emma are followed by opinions from Austen's family and friends never before heard on audio.

Emma Woodhouse has it all - beauty, brains, breeding, and bucks. She considers it her highest achievement to have successfully played matchmaker for her governess, seeing her happily settled nearby. But when chooses Harriet Smith as her next matchmaking target, she unwittingly builds a house of cards for Harriet and herself. In one of Jane Austen’s most beloved novels, Emma explores the vagaries of class, the foibles of matchmaking, and the merits of true character.

Romanzo, scritto nel 1815, dopo "Orgoglio e pregiudizio" e "Ragione e sentimento", è il primo romanzo in cui l'eroina è bella, ricca e senza impedimenti di sorta (tanto che la Austen disse che quell'eroina non sarebbe piaciuta a nessuno fuorché a lei); per cui non ha necessità di sposarsi per vivere, e pertanto decide di "non sposarsi mai".

The age old question of who loves whom is a timeless one that transcends generations. If anyone knew how to incorporate the many intricacies and obstacles of romance into one novel, it was none other than Jane Austen. Few are actually aware that this novel has gone on to inspire many other productions, such as the movie Clueless. The classic focuses on the life of Emma, who is 20 years old when we meet her and is whole-heartedly satisfied with the idea that she will never get married.

Emma is the delightful classic about a financially independent young woman with a "happy disposition" who does not consider marriage for herself. She does, however, find amusement in playing matchmaker with the lives of others in her own social class. Her meddling into the love lives of her young friends has surprising results.

Following the runaway success of her stunning rendition of Pride and Prejudice, award-winning narrator Alison Larkin returns - breathing new life into Jane Austen's Emma. Celebrating the 200th anniversary of the book, Larkin - a witty and always original voice - is the perfect vessel to bring this classically satirical novel to a new audience.

Die 21-jährige Emma Woodhouse ist wohlhabend, schön und der strahlende Mittelpunkt der Gesellschaft im beschaulichen Highbury...

Emma Woodhouse er både smuk, intelligent og rig. Efter sin mors død har hun indtaget rollen som førstedame på Hartfield, hvor hun bor sammen med sin omsorgsfulde, men noget hypokondriske far. Woodhouse-familien er en af de fornemmeste på egnen, og Emma er meget bevidst om sin overlegne position såvel som sine øvrige fortrin.

Emma takes Harriet Smith, a young woman previously unknown to good society, under her wing, scheming for her advancement through an advantageous marriage. Her efforts to find Harriet a suitor occupy all of Emma's time. However, in the midst of her often fumbled attempts, she settles on a most unlikely union with her own constant critic: Mr. Knightly.
