AND MY WIFE THINKS SHE KNOWS HER AUSTEN! HA!
Jane Austen has a lot of fans. I am one of them. My wife is another. People have been arguing the merits of Austen's novels for quite a number of years now; some people love her work, others do not. This is as it should be. We can take this premise of love/hate Austen a step further though. It has been my experience over the years that there is conflict even among those who love this writer's work and that everyone seems to have their favorite novel. This is also only right.
The problem is though that I have found people who read Jane Austen are also a very opinionated lot and quite often harsh words are spoken when discussing the strengths, merits, flaws, dislikes, etc. of Austen's various works. Alas, I have to report to you that this is the case in our household; a normally peaceful place filled with tranquility and marital bliss...about 49 years of it...thank you very much!
Yes, we are a family torn asunder. My wife (silly girl) feels that Emma is Austen's best work, while I, who am far more knowledgeable of such matters, prefer her novel, Pride and Prejudice...of which I am sure most of you will agree....me, not her, i.e. my mistaken wife. (Emma, bless her heart, is such an aggravating little twit).
Anyway, this is really not a review of Emma, the work (I will admit that it is a very fine read worthy of multiple readings ever few years), but rather that of the actual book edition on sale here. I felt sorry for my wife when I saw her ragged copy stuffed into one of her already overly stuffed bookshelves and felt a new edition was in order. I bought this one for her.
For the asking price of this book, including S&H, I cannot for the life of me figure out why people are disgruntled and unhappy with it. It is very well bound, the font is extremely readable, the quality of paper is quite good, the dust jacket is extremely attractive and all the pages were present. I check the binding very closely when the book arrived, and again, for what I paid for this thing, it was excellent! Trust me...I know about such things. Hey folks, this is not advertized nor is it a leather bound first edition! This is a workable, useful book for everyday use.
Now I have both this work and P&P down loaded to my Kindle. The chances of my wife ever using one of these reading machines are as about as likely as pigs flying next mayday. It ain't going to happen. Therefore, she now has a new hardback book; one that will quite likely outlast both of us; It did not cost me a fortune. She can read her copy; I can read mine and the war between us that has been going on since we were in our early teens can continue.
Bottom line...this is a good buy. And I must tell you, my wife was delighted with it.

Timeless Classic With Lots of Surprises
I read Emma for an English class many years ago. I remembered that I'd enjoyed it and as I approach the big 7-0, I thought that I would read it again. Surprisingly, I found it to be more ponderous than I'd remembered it. Lots of beating a topic to death. Endless sentences (but then that's Jane Austen!). There were many days and nights when I'd fall asleep while reading. But, all in all, Emma kept me coming back to the story. Never wanted to give up on it. Emma has her flaws, but in my opinion she isn't half as bad as many reviewers make her out to be. She's manipulative but in the spirit of wanting the best for a friend. She enjoys matchmaking as she believes that this is the closest she will get to romantic love, that her duties to her elderly father preclude any romance for herself.
Much of the joy of this book for me was that there is more to it than just the typical characteristics of an Austen novel--finding romance in a world of rigid class distinctions and wealth disparities. This book contains all of this, but also plays up the idiosyncrasies of people which have nothing to do with class or wealth--such things as food preferences, desire for home life over social life, aversion to certain types of weather, and a tendency to talk almost continuously about virtually nothing. These parts of the novel are some of my favorites because some of the characters with their phobias and addictions remind me of people in my family so it's a truly entertaining aspect for me.
I was very pleased with the ending. Jane Austen ties things up neatly. She's not like so many of our modern writers today who are in love with the ambiguous ending (I've read many such books and have enjoyed them), but it's so nice to read an old-fashioned story occasionally and to know that it's all going to work out and that you may even cry as I did at some of the touching, romantic parts at the end (even though there was not so much as a kiss!), Austen has a way of communicating deep emotion. The couple can deeply move the reader, just in the way they look at one another or join hands.
Even though the ending is satisfying, the book keeps us on edge and makes us wonder how it will all work out to everyone's satisfaction. Lots of plot twists and surprises. You'll feel for the characters and long for them to find love.

A Brilliant Analysis of the Black Man's Experience with Colonialism. A Scientific Analysis of the Black Psyche in a White World
Format: Paperback
This is a brilliant attempt of the era to scientifically analyze the black psyche in a white world. This book has far reaching effects on how colonialism was viewed to impact the black man in society and undoubtedly must have sparked a few revolutionary undertakings. This is not my first encounter with this book, I have had the opportunity to use it as sociological reference in 1981/82 and felt compelled that I would read it in its entirety some day. Now I can say I did and was more than satisfied. Fanon is a great writer of his times and beyond. I am tempted to say that this book should be read by all Black men and women however it is not an easy read because to me it is not a Novel (not a story book). As a student of History, Sociology, Psychology and Psychiatry I found it very delightful and relatively easy to follow. This Book is very powerful writings for the time when it was written, no wonder Fanon was dissuaded from using it as his Thesis for his Ph.D.. May his soul rest in peace but may his ideas live on. O my body always make me a man who questions?

An evocative poetic-critical reading of oppression, racism, colonialism
Format: Paperback
"I am black; I am in total fusion with the world, in sympathetic affinity with the earth, losing my id in the heart of the cosmos... I am black, not because of a curse, but because my skin has been able to capture all the cosmic effluvia. I am truly a drop of sun under the earth." (p. 27)~ Thus Fanon reaches into the experience and meaning of the black man's alienation.
This alienation strikes in an essential sense--it stems from the denial of the black man's very flesh: "The black man is attacked for his corporeality. It is his tangible personality that is lynched. It is his actual being that is dangerous..." (142). The white man, who has been obsessed with eradicating the body out of collective consciousness for millennia, now associates this abjected domain of the body with the black man, and constructs it as the essential evil Other. The white man does this because he is insecure--he does this out of hatred, a hatred that he works to cultivate, that consumes his time and energy. The white man is dehumanized. Projecting his fears onto the black man, the white man shirks his responsibility to acknowledge his guilt (83) in instrumentalizing the black man (206).
Even though this work was written over 50 years ago in a literal colony of Europe, sadly it remains only too relevant in the United States today as a condition between people that allegedly have the same legal and human rights. This is largely made possible by the many ever-so-casual-racists (who vehemently deny they are racist)--people who, for example, complain about affirmative action as unfair to them personally (nevermind history and generations of enslavement and stolen opportunities). Fanon writes, "outside university circles there is an army of fools... Granted, these fools are the product of a psychological-economic substructure. But that does not get us anywhere" (18). An education for racial tolerance from which we are sadly very far removed is necessary for moving towards a world of love.
