À propos de cet audio
In this Audible Exclusive production, Academy Award® nominee Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) narrates one of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Sense and Sensibility. In this timeless tale of misguided romance and heartbreak, two teenage heroines must overcome the pitfalls of Georgian England’s high society in order to achieve the love and happiness they seek. The admiration that Pike has for Austen’s work is shown clearly through this passionate delivery of Austen’s first published novel.
“The more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love.”
Jane Austen’s first published novel, Sense and Sensibility, tells the classic tale of love and heartbreak in late 18th-century England. The story follows the romantic trials and tribulations of the daughters of the recently widowed Mrs. Dashwood as they encounter, and learn to handle, the emotionally reckless male characters of Georgian society. In order to find happiness, the two teenage heroines (Marianne and Elinor) must each learn to navigate through a life where status and money govern the rules of love.
A true classic of English literature, Sense and Sensibility is written with all the hallmarks of Austen’s style, providing strong female protagonists, great irony and wit, and showcasing her superb talent for character creation and dialogue.
About the Author
Jane Austen is one of the most influential and celebrated novelists in English literature. The daughter of a Hampshire clergyman, she was the seventh of eight children and was, from a young age, an avid reader and writer. After graduating from Oxford, Austen survived typhus and embarked on a literary career seeing her works published anonymously throughout her life.
Best known for Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816), her six full-length novels have rarely been out of print and have spawned numerous film, television, and drama adaptations. Rich in satire, romance, and wit, Austen is renowned for her critiques of 18th-century British high society and the role of women within it.

Lovely narration
The story speaks for itself. This narration is lovely in every way. Rosamund Pike is an unmatched narrator for Austen’s prose.

Compared to Pride and Prejudice
Very good. I heard someone recently compare this book to Pride and Prejudice saying they liked them equally. I found I liked Pride and Prejudice just a bit more. Matter of opinion.

A Wonderful Story, Less than Wonderful Characters
I love the story of Sense and Sensibility. Elinor Dashwood is one of my all-time favourite heroines. Colonel Brandon is one of the most respectable male leads. Both are unfailingly kind, sensible and intelligent. They navigate the world of love, marriage and wealth with grace, even through an onslaught of heartbreak and misunderstanding; while their company essentially reads like a who's who of human garbage. Marianne, Fanny, Willoughby, Lucy, and the human dishrag Edward. What a horrible bunch. Were I Elinor, I would have married Colonel Brandon and moved very far away.
Regardless, the story is still one of my favourites and Rosamund Pike is a fantastic narrator. I enjoyed every moment!

Jane Austen, a great author
This book was written in the early 1800s. The English language is so beautiful and makes me wish it hadn’t evolved so much.
Rosamund did a great job narrating, and has a very nice voice to listen to.
The book is sort an old timely romance novel. Though there are so many characters it’s a little hard to follow at times.
Still, it’s a classic and I am glad I listened to it as it’s been on my reading list for years now.

A very nice read while out gardening.
The narration is very well done, and the story is of course every bit as good as it ever was.

Enjoyable
I saw the Emma Thompson movie and loved it. I got the book, but just couldn't get into it. The audio book is perfect for me because I can imagine the movie scenes as I listen. I love the story so listening and imagining suits me well. Rosamund Pike is a great narrator. She has a lovely voice, a soft accent and reads with sense and sensibility!
