This carefully crafted ebook: "Mansfield Park & Emma" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. "Mansfield Park" – Frances "Fanny" Price, at age 10, is sent from her overburdened family home to live with her uncle and aunt in the country in Northamptonshire. It is a jolting change, from the elder sister of many, to the youngest at the estate of Sir Thomas Bertram, husband of her mother's older sister. Her aunt is kind but her uncle frightens her with his authoritative demeanor. Fanny's mother has another sister, Mrs. Norris, who doesn't like and mistreats Fanny. The story follows Fanny's development from troubling adaptation in the wealthy household, through turbulent adolescence, to marriage. "Emma" – Emma Woodhouse has just attended the wedding of Miss Taylor, her friend and former governess, to Mr. Weston. Having introduced them, Emma takes credit for their marriage, and decides that she likes matchmaking. Against the advice of her brother-in-law, Emma forges ahead with her new interest, causing many controversies in the process. Set in the fictional village of Highbury, Emma is a tale about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance.

“Selfishness must always be forgiven you know, because there is no hope of a cure.”

Doğamızın herhangi bir yetisinin diğerlerinden daha üstün olduğunu söyleyebilirsek bence bu, bellektir. Belleğimizin gücünde, zayıflıklarında, ayarsızlıklarında, zeka yetilerimizin hepsinden daha anlaşılmaz bir yan var. Bellek denen şey bazen öyle tutucu, öyle işe yarar, öylesine uysaldır. Bazen de o derece şaşkın ve zayıf. Başka zamanlarda da öylesine dik başlı ve yola gelmez! Gerçi biz insanlar her bakımdan bir mucize sayılırız ama anımsamak ve unutmak yeteneğimiz özellikle anlaşılmaz bir sır.

Budalalığın sonucu olan rezilliklere ve bencil tutkuların uğradığı hayal kırıklıklarına fazla acımayız, doğrusu.

Aslında toplumun, ahlaksızlığa kestiği cezayı kadınla erkek arasında hakça bölüştürmesi gerekir, gel gör ki erdemliliğin korunmasında böyle bir yol izlenmediğini hepimiz biliyoruz.

This may be the longest run-on sentence I've ever seen ( I love Jane Austen) 

Dingdong 

Their homes were so distant, and the circles in which they moved so distinct, as almost to preclude the means of ever hearing each other's existence during the eleven following years, or, at least, to make it very wonderful to Sir Thomas that Mrs. Norris should ever have it in her power to tell them, as she now and then did, in an angry voice, that Fanny had got another child.
