Détails du produit
Jane Austen began Sense and Sensibility when she was barely 20. It was published 16 years later, in 1811, at her own expense; the only clue to the novel’s authorship was the inscription ’By a lady’. In her introduction to this edition, the best-selling Italian author Elena Ferrante – a notoriously private figure whose true identity remains unknown – suggests that Austen’s anonymity only makes her work more intriguing. Whoever Austen was, writes Ferrante, she was ’an extremely cultured, extremely perceptive lady who was well acquainted with the ways of the landed gentry, who knew the rituals of the London bourgeoisie, who was aware of how unstable the world is – of how everything changes in spite of sense and in the tumult of sensibility’.
This Folio edition is bound in gold cloth with a blocked slipcase to match the Folio editions of Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. The illustrations are by Philip Bannister, whose work for Folio includes Ford Madox Ford’s The Good Soldier.

Illustrations inside the book. A sentence on the slip cover; part of typical Folio volumes.

A very high quality product…the print, paper and binding are made for a lifetime of reading. The price is no bargain but when you have the book in your hands you feel justified in spoiling yourself with a little luxury. Makes a great gift to someone who can appreciate a classic copy.

This book feels as well-crafted as Jane Austen's writing. I already own another volume in this series and plan on buying the other four as well.
