Sense and Sensibility

Through the contrast of characters of two sisters, one all reasoning and judgment (sense), and the other all passion, emotion and romanticism (sensibility), as well as the vicissitudes of their loves and personal relationships, the author Jane Austen (1775 - 1817) presents us with a thorough painting of the society of her time. His reactions, sorrows and joys, in which the triumph of love over obstacles is always evident, presented with a subtle irony and humor, make this novel one of the greatest in world literature.
