Audiokniha: Od svého prvního vydání roku 1815 je Emma Jane Austenové hrdinkou mnoha dívek a žen, které nechtějí být křehké květinky zmítané okolnostmi. Chtějí si rozhodovat o svém osudu samy, byť za cenu omylů, chyb a zklamání. Příběh o dívce s dobrým srdcem je nadčasovým příběhem o emancipaci a hledání pravých životních hodnot. Jane Austenová (1775-1817) Jane Austenová byla anglická spisovatelka, zakladatelka moderního rodinného románu v anglické literatuře. Narodila se v rodině duchovního. Pro úzký okruh rodiny psala Jane Austenová již od patnácti let krátké prózy, básně i dramatické scény. Nikdy se neprovdala. Její díla vycházela za jejího života anonymně, s jejím jménem byla vydávána až po její smrti. Plného pochopení dosáhla až ve dvacátém století. Nejvíce zaujala Jane Austenová svými romány. Ve většině z nich je ústředním motivem myšlenkové a emociální zrání mladé hrdinky, zkoumá svět z ženského hlediska, vychází ze znalostí lidské povahy. Vytváří ve svých románech životné postavy, nedostatky jejích hrdinů vycházejí především ze špatné rodinné výchovy. Všechny její zápletky se zabývají láskou, i když o ní zřídka přímo hovoří. Tereza Richtrová (1982) se narodila v roce 1982 v Brně. Studovala sólový zpěv na Gymnáziu Pavla Křížkovského s uměleckou profilací a poté činoherní herectví na JAMU. Své ...

Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, rich - and fiercely independent - 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.Emma, first published in 1816, was written when Jane Austen was at the height of her powers. In a novel remarkable for its sparkling wit and modernity, Austen presents readers with two of literature's greatest comic creations--the eccentric Mr. Woodhouse and that quintessential bore, Miss Bates. Here, too, we have what may well be Jane Austen's most profound characterization: the witty, imaginative, self-deluded Emma, a heroine the author declared "no one but myself will much like," but who has been much loved by generations of readers. Delightfully funny, full of rich irony, Emma is regarded as one of Jane Austen's finest achievements.

Jane Austen’s Emma (1816) tells the story of the coming of age of Emma Woodhouse, “handsome, clever, and rich,” who “had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.” Typical for the novel’s time, Emma’s transition to womanhood is accomplished through courtship—both of those around her and, ultimately, her own. As in other Austen works, education and courtship go hand in hand, and Emma’s process of learning to relinquish the power of having her own way is also a process of falling in love. However, in Emma this classic plot is both complicated by and reflective of a collection of contemporary issues, assumptions, and anxieties that highlight just how “political” even the most conventional of courtship plots can be.This Broadview edition includes a critical introduction and an extensive collection of historical documents relating to the composition and reception of the novel, the social implications of England’s shift from a rural agrarian to an urban industrial economy, the role of women in provincial society, and the contemporary preoccupation with health and the treatment of illness.

Audiokniha: Rozmohl se nám tady takový nešvar: vědět za druhé líp, co by jim prospělo. Zámožná Emma Woodhousová zůstala na Hartfieldu jen se stařičkým bolestínským otcem, jelikož guvernantka se vdala. Okouzlující jednadvacetiletá slečna náhle postrádá spřízněnou duši, a tak se ujímá poddajné Harriet, siroty nejasného původu, a rozhodne se vyhlídky své chráněnky dirigovat. Snahou o dívčino zušlechtění i sérií pošetile uplatněných dohadů, co kdo v okolí ke komu cítí a pro koho by se hodil nejlíp, však životu na panství vůbec neprospívá. Blahosklonné předpojatosti se vrší, maléry se stupňují, bližní strádají. Svitne Emmě při vměšování se do štěstí druhých včas – obzvlášť po příjezdu protivné paní Eltonové, která umí být ještě desetkrát panovačnější? Nebo je to tak, že si mladá dohazovačka „knížecími radami“ cosi kompenzuje? A co na to bratr jejího švagra, jenž jako jediný neváhá dívčiny šarmantně manipulativní sklony usměrňovat? Slavný román mravů s ironickou jemností předkládá citlivé téma, které zajisté netrápilo pouze Brity za vlády Jiřího III. Dočkal se řady filmových adaptací, mezi nimiž vynikají nastudování s Gwyneth Paltrowovou či Kate Beckinsaleovou. Zmodernizovanou verzi látky předložili i američtí filmaři, kteří do role pletichářky obsadili Alicii Silverstoneovou. „Satira zabalená do dramatické romance se u Austenové plně vyrovná jak Pýše ...

Životopis slavné anglické spisovatelky Jane Austenové (1775-1817) vychází v době zvýšeného zájmu o její dílo i díky filmovým přepisům románů Rozum a cit a Pýcha a předsudek. Austenová se narodila v 18. století, čtrnáct let před Francouzskou revolucí, v rodině venkovského pastora a na rodině byla až do své smrti zcela závislá, protože se nikdy neprovdala. Svá mistrovská díla, postihující společenské poměry na venkově i psychologii vystupujících postav, psala tajně. Romány, které vyšly za jejího života, uveřejňovala pod pseudonymem "By a lady". Biografie J. Austenové od německé autorky nasvěcuje život "anglické Jane" , jak ji nazývají Britové, z překvapivých úhlů. Rovněž doba a místo jejího života, které sama Austenová zachycuje tak poutavě, E. Maletzke popisuje nejen zasvěceně, ale i čtivě. Text knihy doplňuje chronologický životopisný přehled, soupis literatury a rejstřík. Elsemarie Maletzke je erudovaná životopiskyně anglických spisovatelek 19. století. Kromě Austenové napsala biografické portréty sester Brntëových (Das Leben des Brontës) a Georgie Eliot.

Není pochyb o tom, že hrdinkou románu Pýcha a předsudek, Lízinkou, je sama Jane Austenová (1775–1817). Přestože prožila tak typicky nekonfliktní život (nikdy se neprovdala a jediné nabídnutí k sňatku prý během hodiny odmítla), neodráží se v jejím díle žádná osudová hořkost. Zdá se, že se ze své pozice dcery bez věna, a tudíž dívky bez zvláštních šancí na lepší sňatek, spíš nesmírně bavila – asi jako člověk, který v divadle sleduje zábavnou komedii. Přidáním ironického podtextu posunula románovou tvorbu ze sfér naivního realismu o několik generací dopředu. Víc než půldruhého století je doba, která dovedla pohltit stovky literárních děl, jimž se při zrodu prorokovala nesmrtelnost; a byla to díla s daleko efektnějšími a vzrušivějšími náměty než Pýcha a předsudek. Jemné kouzlo Jane Austenové má svůj stálý vděčný okruh čtenářů a každá nová generace autorčin odkaz objevuje po svém, v nových barevných odstínech a v novém lesku.
