《愛瑪:EMMA(英文原版)》,英國女作家簡·奧斯汀較有影響的長篇小說,《愛瑪》創(chuàng)作于1815年,是奧斯汀作品中藝術(shù)上、思想上最成熟的一部。主人公愛瑪是個美麗、聰慧而富有的姑娘,同時也是一位不折不扣的幻想家。她熱心關(guān)注身邊的浪漫故事,卻又固執(zhí)地認(rèn)為自己永遠(yuǎn)不會陷入其中。她自作主張為孤女哈麗埃特導(dǎo)演了一次又一次的戀愛。當(dāng)哈麗埃特誤以為自己愛上了地方官奈特利先生時,愛瑪才驚覺原來自己也在愛著奈特利先生。這雖與她一開始就宣布的終身不嫁的誓言有悖,但墜入情網(wǎng)的她不得不放棄自己天真的誓言。《愛瑪》該作品多次被搬上銀幕。《愛瑪》本書為英文原版,同時提供配套英文朗讀免費下載(下載地址見圖書封底二維碼),讓讀者在閱讀精彩故事的同時,亦能提升英文閱讀水平。Emma is a novel published in 1815 and writtenby English author Jane Austen.
