Translation by Shuhua Editorial Department. Number 3 in the "Complete Collection of World Literature." Google Translate gave us this interpretation of the blurb on the back cover: "Jane Austen (1775-1817) vividly portrays the affected, pretentious, absurd, and manipulative aspects of human nature through the lives of the people around her. The next time you attend a party where you aren't warmly welcomed by the host, but receive a heartwarming invitation before leaving with wishes for a safe journey, why not consider it a farcical comedy?" We think this is excellent advice. Editor-in-Chief Huang Huilong. Shuhua Publishing Co. Ltd. Zhonghe City, Taipei County. 1986. First printing. Paper. USED. $25.00
