Synopsis "Emma (in Spanish)"

Emma es una novela cómica escrita por Jane Austen, publicada por vez primera en 1815 por el editor John Murray, sobre los peligros de malinterpretar el romance. El personaje principal, Emma Woodhouse, se describe como “hermosa, lista y rica” pero también es bastante mimada.

Voy a elegir una heroína que, excepto a mí, no gustará mucho.
-Jane Austen

Cuando la joven Emma -hija soltera del rico y distinguido señor Woodhouse- pierde la compañía de su antigua institutriz, toma bajo su tutela a la humilde Harriet Smith. Su extracción humilde y su simpleza, además de su hermosura, hacen de ella una candidata perfecta para que Emma pueda entregarse a su ocupación favorita: arreglar la vida de los demás. Sus afanes para que Harriet haga un matrimonio ventajoso y su personalidad manipuladora sufrirán, sin embargo, distintos reveses antes de alcanzar un final inesperado y feliz.

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
