About this listen
Emma Woodhouse is a twenty-year-old, wealthy lady living with her father near the provincial town of Highbury. Despite believing that she herself will never marry, she perceives a talent for matchmaking. After the wedding of her governess and a local widower, Mr. Weston, which she treats as her personal success, she decides to find a worthy husband for her new friend, Harriet Smith. Although Harriet's parents are unknown, Emma is convinced that the girl deserves a relationship with a gentleman and makes her not follow her own heart, but submit to her patronage. Unfortunately, the young lady's imaginings do not entirely align with the desires of those around her. Matters become complicated, and Emma must look into her own heart.
The novel is a social comedy that explores the social and romantic relationships of the era and is considered one of the most important works of English literature. Literary critics praise Emma for its elegant style, detailed character portrayal, and subtle humor. The novel has been adapted multiple times for cinema, television, and theater.
