Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her. She was the youngest of the two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent father; and had, in consequence of her sister s marriage, been mistress of his house from a very early period. Her mother had died too long ago for her to have more than an indistinct remembrance of her caresses; and her place had been supplied by an excellent woman as governess, who had fallen little short of a mother in affection. Sixteen years had Miss Taylor been in Mr. Woodhouse s family, less as a governess than a friend, very fond of both daughters, but particularly of Emma. Between them it was more the intimacy of sisters. Even before Miss Taylor had ceased to hold the nominal office of governess, the mildness of her temper had hardly allowed her to impose any restraint; and the shadow of authority being now long passed away, they had been living together as friend and friend very mutually attached, and Emma doing just what she liked; highly esteeming Miss Taylor s judgment, but directed chiefly by her own. The real evils, indeed, of Emma s situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself; these were the disadvantages which threatened alloy to her many enjoyments. The danger, however, was at present so unperceived, that they did not by any means rank as misfortunes with her. Sorrow came—a gentle sorrow—but not at all in the shape of any disagreeable consciousness. —Miss Taylor married. It was Miss Taylor s loss which first brought grief. It was on the wedding-day of this beloved friend that Emma first sat in mournful thought of any continuance. The wedding over, and the bride-people gone, her father and herself were left to dine together, with no prospect of a third to cheer a long evening. Her father composed himself to sleep after dinner, as usual, and she had then only to sit and think of what she had lost. This edition includes: - A complete biography of Jane Austen -

Emma was the last of Austen's six novels to be completed. A London publisher offered her £450 for the manuscript, and asked for the copyright for Mansfield Park and Sense and Sensibility thrown into the bargain. She told him to get stuffed...
Emma, by Jane Austen, is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. The novel was first published in December 1815. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners among her characters. Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." In the very first sentence she introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma, however, is also rather spoiled, headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives; and her imagination and perceptions often lead her astray. | Author: Jane Austen, Damilys Yanez | Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | Publication Date: Sep 29, 2016 | Number of Pages: 498 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 1539116581 | ISBN-13: 9781539116585

"It's the invisible things, Granger. Like the way I feel when you smile that smile that leaves me like a fluttering petal gently falling off a sweet pink tree." Handsome, clever and rich, Y/N Malfoy is the younger twin of Draco Malfoy.

Though the twins almost opposites, with Y/N described as cunning yet refreshing, much like his mother, enjoys the finer things in life and Draco crooked and a bully, like his father, enjoyed rubbing those finer things in people's faces, they were as tight as a knot.

Jane Austen teased readers with the idea of a 'heroine whom no one but myself will much like', but Emma is irresistible. 'Handsome, clever, and rich', Emma is also an 'imaginist', 'on fire with speculation and foresight'. Her matchmaking maps out relationships that Jane Austen ironically tweaks into a clearer perspective.

Though not widely recognized during her lifetime, Jane Austen has become one of England's most renowned novelists. Born in 1775, Austen lived a quiet life and began writing in her youth, though she did not publish until 1811 with the anonymous release of Sense and Sensibility. This was followed by three novels before her death in 1817: Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816). Austen is known for her satirical portraits of social customs and marriage rituals, though she wrote during the passionate Romantic period. Some view her as aligned with earlier eighteenth-century ideals of reason and propriety. However, her witty heroines also reflect an emerging feminism and intelligence that contrasted with women's confined roles. While her endings espouse marriage, novels like Emma provoke questions about women's fulfillment and Austen's own views. Through her rich domestic portraits and investigations of social mores, Austen captured the constrictions on women's lives with insight that still resonates centuries later.

Modern and very gay, with a charmingly conceited lead who is convinced he knows it all, and the occasional reference to the classic movie Clueless, Emmett brings you lush romance all while exploring the complexities of queer culture-where your lovers and friends are sometimes the same person, but the person you fall in love with might be a total surprise. Emmett Woodhouse, handsome, clever and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence and had lived nearly eighteen years in the world with very little to distress or vex him. Emmett knows he's blessed. And because of that, he tries to give back: from charity work to letting the often irritating Georgia sit at his table at lunch, he knows it's important to be nice. And recently, he's found a new way of giving back: matchmaking. He set up his best friend Taylor with her new boyfriend and it's gone perfectly. So when his occasional friend-with-benefits Harrison starts saying he wants a boyfriend (something Emmett definitely does NOT want to be), he decides to try and find Harrison the perfect man at Highbury Academy, the candy-colored private school they attend just outside Los Angeles. Emmett's childhood friend, Miles, thinks finding a boyfriend for a guy you sleep with is a bad idea. But Miles is straight, and Emmett says this is gay life - your friends, your lovers, your boyfriends - they all come from the same very small pool. That's why Emmett doesn't date - to keep things clean. He knows the human brain isn't done developing until twenty-five, so any relationship he enters into before then would inevitably end in a breakup, in loss. And he's seen what loss can do. His mother died four years ago and his dad hasn't been the same since. But the lines Emmett tries to draw are more porous than he thinks, and as he tries to find Harrison the perfect match, he learns that gifted as he may be, maybe he has no idea what he's doing when it comes to love.
