“Sense and Sensibility” is perhaps one of the most famous novels by English writer Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), along with the equally famous and important “Pride and Prejudice”. Through the contrast of the characters of two sisters, one all reasoning and judgment (sense) and the other all passion, emotion and romanticism (sensibility), as well as the vicissitudes of their loves and personal relationships, the author presents us with a thorough painting of the society of her time. Their reactions, sorrows and joys, in which the triumph of love is always present, with a very modern conception of the subject, overcoming obstacles and problems, with a subtle irony and humour that make reading the novel more enjoyable and delightful.
