Über diesen Titel

Penguin Classics presents Jane Austen's Emma, adapted for audio and now available as a digital download as part of the Penguin English Library series. Read by the actress Fiona Shaw.

'I never have been in love; it is not my way, or my nature; and I do not think I ever shall'

Beautiful, clever, rich - and single - Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.

Part of a series of vintage recordings taken from the Penguin Archives. Affordable, collectable, quality productions - perfect for on-the-go listening.

No further praise is needed for Jane Austen’s timeless masterpiece, and Fiona Shaw reads it beautifully.

However, I strongly recommend seeking out the unabridged version in all its glory. I give only three stars to this abridged product, which rushes through the story as if the goal of reading—or listening—were simply to reach the end. For me, it’s quite the opposite: the only disappointment I’ve ever felt with a Jane Austen novel is that it eventually ends.

Starting with this abridged edition—believing it to be the full text—and then turning to the complete version was a powerful lesson in Austen’s brilliance. Don’t miss out.
