Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are sisters with opposing temperaments – Elinor is prudent, rational and responsible; Marianne is passionate, excitable and emotional. When Marianne is abandoned by an unscrupulous suitor, she is disconsolate, driving herself to a serious illness. Elinor, meanwhile, is dealing with her own betrayal but is stoic, refusing to reveal her emotions to even those closest to her. The sisters must navigate the misery of heartbreak in a society where status and money determine the outcomes of love and marriage. And to find happiness, they must learn to accept that both sense and sensibility are intertwined.

The Great Gatsby An Original Classic Edition by F. Scott Fitzgerald, (Hardcover)
- ISBN: 9788182479517
- Pages: 162
It’s the Roaring twenties, and new York City is the place to be. Everything can be purchased, everyone can be bought. But, can you make money erase your past? It’s the Roaring twenties, and it is the time of over-indulgence. As far as the eyes can see and the mind can perceive, there are ostentatious displays of wealth and even more lavish displays of decadency. Unapologetic decadency. But, does it ever stop? It’s the Roaring twenties, and the great American dream has been perverted. It no longer stands for anything profound that resonates with people. But, does the idealism even attempt to stop the materialism? As more and more people lose themselves to the lure of money, ironically the only person who remains unaffected is Jay Gatsby, the enigmatic host of the most extravagant parties… This definitive tale on American culture, encased in an exquisite leather-bound edition with gilded edges and beautiful endpapers, is an epic story that can only be defined as ‘a great American novel’.

- When Elizabeth Bennet meets Fitzwilliam Darcy for the first time at a ball, she writes him off as an arrogant and obnoxious man. He not only acts like an insufferable snob, but she also overhears him rejecting the very idea of asking her for a dance!
As life pits them against each other again and again, Darcy begins to fall for Elizabeth’s wit and intelligence and Elizabeth begins to question her feelings about Darcy.
