Finally got around to reading Emma and I really enjoyed it！ I'm pretty familiar with the story but it was fun to actually read the book。 I jointly listened to the audiobook and read the book physically and I'd definitely recommend that route。 Sometimes classic can be a bit challenging and it's nice to have someone read the story to you。Full review to come！ :） Finally got around to reading Emma and I really enjoyed it！ I'm pretty familiar with the story but it was fun to actually read the book。 I jointly listened to the audiobook and read the book physically and I'd definitely recommend that route。 Sometimes classic can be a bit challenging and it's nice to have someone read the story to you。Full review to come！ :） 。。。more

3。5Si bien no tiene una gran trama， y creo que hay capítulos que podrían omitirse， creo que Emma es un gran personaje。 Estamos acostumbradxs a protagonistas dulces y bondadosas， que se portan bien y quieren lo mejor para todo el mundo， y el mundo la recompensa en la medida en que se casa con su objeto de amor。 Bueno， no。 Emma es rica y por ende infumable socialmente: cree que sabe todo de todos， que merece solo las mejores relaciones y cualquier persona levemente inferior a ella tiene que ser "d 3。5Si bien no tiene una gran trama， y creo que hay capítulos que podrían omitirse， creo que Emma es un gran personaje。 Estamos acostumbradxs a protagonistas dulces y bondadosas， que se portan bien y quieren lo mejor para todo el mundo， y el mundo la recompensa en la medida en que se casa con su objeto de amor。 Bueno， no。 Emma es rica y por ende infumable socialmente: cree que sabe todo de todos， que merece solo las mejores relaciones y cualquier persona levemente inferior a ella tiene que ser "digna" de su palabra。 Creo que Austen creó un personaje que， tal como dijo la autora misma， nadie iba a querer。 Me parece muy interesante la evolución de Emma a lo largo de la obra， cómo sus formas y sus pensamientos maduran a pesar de seguir siendo malcriada y demás。 El señor Knightley un ser de luz tal como lo imaginaba。 Dejo de lado el momento en que él admite que se enamoró de ella cuando tenía 13（！！！！） y él 29 años（！！！¡）。 Me hace ruido， pero lo obvio， porque bueno， la vida en la regencia。 La familia Weston me pareció muy adorable， muy real， muy gente que quisiera a mi alrededor。En general， la novela se pone muy piola en la mitad。 。。。more

One of my absolute favorites！ I always come back to this book and it always delights me！ Emma is my favorite Austen character and mr Knightley， of course， is the reason why so many girls get so disappointed when they first venture to their dating adventures。 Pride and prejudice， which i also love dearly， is a close second， because in my opinion the similarity of the main characters situation makes their attachment more securely based on true love， not than i imply anything regarding Lizzie。 Jane One of my absolute favorites！ I always come back to this book and it always delights me！ Emma is my favorite Austen character and mr Knightley， of course， is the reason why so many girls get so disappointed when they first venture to their dating adventures。 Pride and prejudice， which i also love dearly， is a close second， because in my opinion the similarity of the main characters situation makes their attachment more securely based on true love， not than i imply anything regarding Lizzie。 Jane Austen is of course a wonderful observer of the human condition and a writer so ahead of her times。 The sauciness and independence she has given Emma shows how forward and feminist her thinking is。 That combined with the most romantic things ever written （“If i loved you less， i would be able to talk about it more”） makes this book a treasure！ ❤️❤️ 。。。more

Austen me ha parecido extremadamente inteligente。 Brillante tanto escribiendo como a la hora de entender y definir relaciones， sentimientos y emociones。 Un libro con ironía pero mucho menos artificio del que se ve en las películas basadas en su obra （al terminar Emma he visto la película de 2020， que tiene muy buena crítica， y he decir que no me ja gustado nada）。 Me ha gustado especialmente que no describe， muestra。 No te cuenta que la señorita Bates es pesada， te aburre con su diálogo。 Y de esa Austen me ha parecido extremadamente inteligente。 Brillante tanto escribiendo como a la hora de entender y definir relaciones， sentimientos y emociones。 Un libro con ironía pero mucho menos artificio del que se ve en las películas basadas en su obra （al terminar Emma he visto la película de 2020， que tiene muy buena crítica， y he decir que no me ja gustado nada）。 Me ha gustado especialmente que no describe， muestra。 No te cuenta que la señorita Bates es pesada， te aburre con su diálogo。 Y de esa manera siento que me ha hecho ser una más de la comunidad de Highsbury。 Ay no sé， que lo he gozado mucho。 。。。more

Releitura。 Foi uma leitura de Verão para desanuviar de outras mais pesadas e tenho a dizer que encontrei muitos mais pormenores que não tinha apanhado na primeira leitura que fiz há uns anos atrás。 Emma é realmente uma personagem perspicaz mas， ao mesmo tempo， ingénua， talvez devido à protecção e à maneira quase de reclusão em que vive， apesar de andar à vontade por Highbury， a vila campestre em que vive。 Depois temos as diversas personagens que acompanham a sua família há anos， como Knightley， Releitura。 Foi uma leitura de Verão para desanuviar de outras mais pesadas e tenho a dizer que encontrei muitos mais pormenores que não tinha apanhado na primeira leitura que fiz há uns anos atrás。 Emma é realmente uma personagem perspicaz mas， ao mesmo tempo， ingénua， talvez devido à protecção e à maneira quase de reclusão em que vive， apesar de andar à vontade por Highbury， a vila campestre em que vive。 Depois temos as diversas personagens que acompanham a sua família há anos， como Knightley， as Bates e os Weston。 Claro que os Elton e Harriet Smith acabam por ter destaque ao longo da história， talvez ensinando algumas lições a Emma e à sua vida recatada em que o seu divertimento é emparelhar casais e vangloriar-se por acertar sempre - até que não。 Não achei que fosse uma leitura fluída， parando por vezes durante dias a mesma， e as personagens não me entusiasmaram。 Contudo， é engraçado ver as diferenças entre este e "Orgulho e Preconceito"， por exemplo。 。。。more

عن رواية "إما" لجين أوستين "إيما تلك التي لا عيب فيها رغم كل أخطائها " هكذا كتبت أوستن في الصفحة ال352 من عملها واصفة إما بطلة روايتها "إما"。 هذه الجملة تختزل كل العمل والجهد الذي وضعته أوستن لبناء شخصية بطلتها。 تلك الفتاة المدللة، سليلة أسرة ثرية وعريقة من الريف الأنجليزي إبان العصر الجورجي، الطموحة، المتقدة، المزاجية والمغرمة بربط حبال العشق بين من لم يطلب منها ذلك أبدا。 أوستن من رواد الأدب ذي الهم النسوي وعملها هذا لا يشذ عن مشاغلها هذه （ التربية، الزواج، التعلم،التبعية، الأخلاق 。。。） بل على ا عن رواية "إما" لجين أوستين "إيما تلك التي لا عيب فيها رغم كل أخطائها " هكذا كتبت أوستن في الصفحة ال352 من عملها واصفة إما بطلة روايتها "إما"。 هذه الجملة تختزل كل العمل والجهد الذي وضعته أوستن لبناء شخصية بطلتها。 تلك الفتاة المدللة، سليلة أسرة ثرية وعريقة من الريف الأنجليزي إبان العصر الجورجي، الطموحة، المتقدة، المزاجية والمغرمة بربط حبال العشق بين من لم يطلب منها ذلك أبدا。 أوستن من رواد الأدب ذي الهم النسوي وعملها هذا لا يشذ عن مشاغلها هذه （ التربية، الزواج، التعلم،التبعية، الأخلاق 。。。） بل على العكس كثيرا ما تتسرب قضايا المرأة الأنجليزية مطلع القرن التاسع عشر -وتحديدا الثريات منهن أو من انحدرن من بيوت الثراء نحو الحضيض- من خلال حوارات الشخصيات: خاصة بين البطلة ومستر نيتلي أو من خلال بنية الشخصيات الداخلية كإما وترفعها على الرجال ورفضها للزواج مطلع الرواية。 أو حتى من خلال هشاشة وضعية النسوة الإجتماعية واستقرارهن المالي كالسيدة فيرفاكس。 هذه الرواية رواية إنجليزية بإمتياز。 ولع الكاتبة بالتفاصيل ودقتها وقدرتها على وصف أبسط الأشياء وملاحقتها لاختلاجات المشاعر الصغرى، كلها عوامل تدفع القارئ حتما داخل العمل ومناخه: نحو الريف الأنجليزي أيام العصر الجرجي بأمسياته المترفهة وحفلاته وجولاته وخاصة ما يسوده من ترف ومجاملات وملاطفات وأخلاقيات " الليدي" و "الجنتلمان" الأنجليزي الصارمة، معايير القبول والاحترام في ذلك العصر。 كتبت أوستين عملها هذا مستعينة بسخريتها الانجليزية الأصيلة وبرغبتها الملحة في نقد وتحسين وضعية بنات جنسها وطول نفسها ودقة ملاحظتها。 بهذا صنعت جمالية عملها: وقاعيته。 هناك ملاحظة أخرى عاينتها، هو الطرف الحاضر الغائب في كامل الكتاب: الخدم。 وتلك الحقيقة المفجعة، الخدم لا يغيبون فقط عن الرواية بل عن الواقع أيضا، لا أحد يحكي حكايتهم أو يهتم حتى لحيواتهم。 السادة يمرضون ويخشون العودة لمنازلهم ليلا في البرد لأن أبدانهم لا تقدر على تحمله ولكن جسم الحوذي يقدر تماما كحصان العربة。 الفتاة ذات النسب لا تذهب لمكتب البريد على قدميها فهي تتعب وتشقى ولكن الخادم الذي يسعى لذلك يوميا لا يشقى، بل هو مخلوق لذلك。 ذلك هو الفصل المأساوي في إما حقيقة 。。。。 الفصل الذي يروي بغيابه معاناة الكثيرين。 على العموم ترجمة الرواية جيدة، تستحق القراءة ولكن من رأيي أتركوها للشتاء فذلك خير وقت للاستمتاع بأحاديث إما ووالدها ومستر نيتلي ومستر تشرشل ومستر أوستن وغيرهم ممن يستلذ بالجلوس حول المدفأة 。。。more

I kinda would want to force everyone that thinks Jane Austen wrote very sweet romances to read Emma。 Because even if the question of marriage/relationships is central to the book， it's not done in a romancy way at all。 Emma is exhausting and annoying AF。 But she also is a very strongheaded character that does only what she wants。 Some of her dialogues are so modern you kinda wonder how they could have been written so long ago。 Also， this book is VERY entertaining。 My head is spining trying to fo I kinda would want to force everyone that thinks Jane Austen wrote very sweet romances to read Emma。 Because even if the question of marriage/relationships is central to the book， it's not done in a romancy way at all。 Emma is exhausting and annoying AF。 But she also is a very strongheaded character that does only what she wants。 Some of her dialogues are so modern you kinda wonder how they could have been written so long ago。 Also， this book is VERY entertaining。 My head is spining trying to follow everything at each read。 Yeah， Emma is not my favorite， but it's probably one of the best work of Austen。 。。。more

This might be an unpopular opinion， but I really liked Emma as a character。 I found her very interesting and her growth was excellent， the same with Mr。 Knightley。 Fir sure one of my favourite Jane Austen books， it truly shows her ability to write great characters， with incredible dialogue and a lot of wit and humour。

Emma by Jane Austen was the very first book I ever read by her。 （Or tried to read😂）I dnfed this book at 285 pages。The only characters that I liked were Mr。 Knightley and Emma。I also liked how it was an “enemies to lovers” typa vibe。 Mr。 Elton。 I did not like。 How he used Harriet to get to Emma， Just did not sit well with me。 SOULLESS MAN Mrs。 Weston。 （Or “poor Miss Taylor” as Mr Woodhouse calls her。） was trying to play matchmaker and she matched up Jane Fairfax with Mr。 Knightley。 I was literal Emma by Jane Austen was the very first book I ever read by her。 （Or tried to read😂）I dnfed this book at 285 pages。The only characters that I liked were Mr。 Knightley and Emma。I also liked how it was an “enemies to lovers” typa vibe。 Mr。 Elton。 I did not like。 How he used Harriet to get to Emma， Just did not sit well with me。 SOULLESS MAN Mrs。 Weston。 （Or “poor Miss Taylor” as Mr Woodhouse calls her。） was trying to play matchmaker and she matched up Jane Fairfax with Mr。 Knightley。 I was literally so frustrated。Mr。 Frank Churchill。 How he was always around people。 （Specifically Emma） annoyed the crap out of me。 And how he “loved。” her。 Boy no you don’t get outta here。 You know who does love her？ Two words。 Mr。 Knightley。Mr。 Knightley and Emma still hadn’t expressed their feelings for each other by the time I decided to not finish it at page 285。 （Granted it is a “ enemies to lovers” typa vibe so what do you expect naiccole？） I may try and read Persuasion by Jane Austen， or at least one of her shorter books。 I might try and give her one more try。 I think that is all I wanna say。 I’ve been sitting here for *looks at imaginary wrist watch* 30 minutes typing up a review。 （ I tried this the first time went to press post and accidentally pressed cancel… 😬） so fingers crossed I don’t do the same mistake again。 🤞🏻 P。S if you see this review。 That means I didn’t make the same mistake and went and pressed cancel。 *throws confetti* 🎉 。。。more

S tole sem se pa namatrala。 Zelo neprijazen tisk knjige， majhne in stisnjene črke brez presledkov。 Poleg tega en kup imen in oseb， ki se pojavijo v knjigi， da ne veš komu bi sledil。 Opazi se drugačna zasnova zgodbe， tokrat je glavna junakinja privilegirana， malce razvajena ženska， ki se rada igra ženitno posrednico， pri tem pa ne opazi， kaj se dogaja pred njenim nosom。

Puede que mi opinión no sea muy popular aquí。。。 Pero la protagonista se me hace muy odiosa， sé que no debería pero comparo a menudo su carácter con el de mi querida Elizabeth y la prefiero mil veces; por otro lado， el señor Knightly es un verdadero caballero y Jane es todo lo que una dama de la época debía ser。♡♡♡

Really， this book should have been called AWKWARD， because that's pretty much the way I felt while reading it。 I love Austen's portrayal of village/town life in England during her time， and her ability to make characters both likeable and unlikeable at the same time is amazing。 Really， this book should have been called AWKWARD， because that's pretty much the way I felt while reading it。 I love Austen's portrayal of village/town life in England during her time， and her ability to make characters both likeable and unlikeable at the same time is amazing。 。。。more
