Jane Austen's most beautiful thoughts on the greatest of all feelings, which remains an eternal and unfathomable mystery: love. Selected by Felicitas von Lovenberg. Modern and timeless, emancipated and wise, witty and humorous, candid and rational, hardly anyone has written about matters of the heart in the last 200 years like Jane Austen - from thrilling anticipation to mindless infatuation and first disappointment, all the way to marital happiness and conflict. Jane Austen advocates for a healthy mix of emotion, reason, money, beauty, and intellect. Yet love always remains the top priority. "Once in a lifetime, every woman should have the right to marry for love." Jane Austen.
