Dans ce chef-d'oeuvre de la littérature anglaise, Jane Austen nous plonge dans le quotidien d'Emma Woodhouse, une jeune femme intelligente et indépendante, mais aussi quelque peu arrogante. À travers ses tentatives maladroites de jouer les entremetteuses dans son cercle social, Emma explore avec finesse et humour les complexités des relations humaines, de l'amour, et des conventions sociales de l'époque. Une oeuvre intemporelle, riche en observations sociales et en réflexions sur l'orgueil et les erreurs, où Jane Austen dépeint avec brio les subtilités des coeurs et des esprits dans la société régence du XIXe siècle.
