Sense and Sensibility (THE GREAT CLASSICS LIBRARY)

The story of the Dashwood sisters, Austen's first published novel. It has, to say the least, endured well. Film versions include Ang Lee's 1995 version (adapted by Emma Thompson) and a Tamil version called "Kandukondain Kandukondain " (2000). A 1981 serial directed by Rodney Bennett appeared on TV, as did another in 2008 adapted by Andrew Davies and directed by John Alexander.
