Risultati per "Emma Christie" in Narrativa di genere

Emma can be enjoyed as a charming love story, a detective story, and a comic and lively picture of English life 200 years ago. Austen's beautiful, clever, wilful but fallible heroine Emma Woodhouse believes she knows best. Perfectly content with her life she sees no need for either love or marriage, yet nothing pleases her more than meddling in the romantic lives of others.

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".

Emma, seduta alla sua cattedra, ricorda con nostalgia il suo passato di alunna guardando la sua alunna Eva, una bimba che siede al banco di fronte a lei. Due generazioni messe a confronto con vissuti diversi. Le varie circostanze quotidiane, a scuola, riportano Emma al passato facendole rivivere le emozioni di un tempo lontano. L'amore e la passione per la scuola da alunna, oggi manifestati nel ruolo di maestra.
