Abstract: This version is read by Karen Savage. The story revolves around Elinor and Marianne, two daughters of Mr. Dashwood by his second wife. They have a younger sister, Margaret, and an older half-brother named John. When their father dies, the family estate passes to John, and the Dashwood women are left in reduced circumstances. The novel follows the Dashwood sisters to their new home, a cottage on a distant relatives property, where they experience both romance and heartbreak. The contrast between the sisters characters is eventually resolved as they each find love and lasting happiness. Through the events in the novel, Elinor and Marianne find a balance between sense (or pure logic) and sensibility (or pure emotion) in life and love.Sprecher: Savage, Karen ; Dt.

Abstract: Convinced of her superior matchmaking skills, Emma Woodhouse wrongly takes credit for pairing off her former governess and a neighboring gentleman. Determined to remain unattached herself, Emma sets out to direct the fates of Harriet Smith, the vicar Mr. Elton, and newcomer Frank Churchill, among others. Misunderstanding is piled on mishap until Mr Knightley forces Emma to see her errors and the direction of her own future.
