Sense and Sensibility

Sense and Sensibility by Clare West , Jane Austen
خلاصه شده متن اصلی از "جین آستین" توسط "کلیر وست" و برای "اکسفورد بوک وورمز" است .بنظرم ترجمه "عقل و احساس" ترجمه مناسبی برای عنوان بود ولی دیدم که برخی با عنوان "حس و حساسیت" آن را می شناسند که جالب بود،فضا شباهت بسیار به فضای تمام داستان های قرن هجدهم اروپا دارد.ریویوها رو که میخواندم این یکی را پسندیدم که میگفت : "شباهت های این کتاب و غرور و تعصب به قدری زیاده که اگر یکی شون رو هم نخونید چیز خاصی از دست ندادین"اگرچه که غروروتعصب پخت تر است.همیشه وقتی با فیلم،کتاب،مستند و تاریخ اروپای آن زمان برخورد میکنم رسوم مربوط به ازدواج،ارث و .... شگفت زده ام میکند،اگر از دوستان کسی متن،مقاله یا مستندی برای آشنائی باقوانین ورسوم آن دوره به من معرفی کند سپاسگزار خواهم بود .بینهایت اقتباس سینمائی و تلوزیونی وجود دارد که از دید من کار "انگ لی" سال 2002 با حضور "هیو گرنت"،"اما تامپسون"و"کیت وینسلت" با امتیازهشت از ده میتواند برای سینما دوستان جالب باشد.

I accidentally picked up this rewritten version of Sense and Sensibility, but I still enjoyed it. It was a simple story but was a pleasant, comforting read. And I loved that it was so short! I finished in only a few days. Maybe I'll eventually read the original but for now I think I'd rather read a different classic.

Es una buena adaptación pero claramente no supera a la versión larga.

رواية كلاسيكية وفلم فائز بالأوسكار . بتناقش فكرة المنافسة بين المنطق والعاطفة باتخاذ القرار وفائدة ان يحبس الانسان يلي عم يفكر فيه وما يظهر ع تصرفاته.
الوسط يلي عم تجري فيه الاحداث هو بريطانيا بالقرن 18 بهالوقت بيكون المجتمع مادي جدا متل مجتمعنا الحالي.

“The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!” Sense And Sensibility, Chapter 3
On Expectations and requirement regarding a life and soul partner.

Good for a retelling of the story. Definitely gave me a taste of what's coming in the original. I quite like the story, and I'm excited to read the novel written by Jane Austen herself.

الشراء: حسب اعتقادي انا وماريان من مكتبه في شهر فبراير ٢٠١٥ مع مجموعه كتب اخرى .
فخوره لأني لأول مره اقرا كتاب مطالعه باللغه الإنكليزية و تقريبا القسم الأكبر قرائته في المستشفى اثناء عمليه امي. احببت القصه كانت لطيفه خفيفه الهيئة الإنكليزية القديمه في الكتاب و الطراز التقليدي القديم كان رائعا في الكتاب ، و اشرت على اقتباسات أحببتها جدا .

Really good - just need to get my hands on Austen's original before I can give 5 stars.

[Mafamultixverse · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not one of my favourite reads but the story has some interesting turning points, specially the end.

لا بأس
القصة جيدة لكنها مألوفة جداً والأحداث متوقعة ولم يسعفوها بحبكة مثيرة
لم تَرُق لي إجمالاً

[Derryck Osbourne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Meh, could've been 3 stars. I have doubts on the fourth one.

The start was slow but good, I hated how stupid their brother is, and how easily he gets controlled by fanny.

I hated how nothing more was said about Eliza. I hated the whole Willoughby part, he was boring, really.

I hated how Elinor's way of thinking changed at the end (at least it seemed like it changed to me) and how Marianne and the Colonel married just like that.

It was as if Jane Austen was carefully writing the story at first, putting the right pieces of the puzzle together then suddenly just got bored of it and rushed it. That's how it seemed to me.

Book could've been better, this is a disappointment as my first J.A. book.

What a pity! I found myself in terrible lack of conventional sensibility reading the book.
