Book ID/图书代码： 11457511B51215

English Summary/英文概要： Have you stopped believing in happily ever after?
Women today are settling for less than we want when it comes to men, relationships, sex, and marriage. But we don’t have to, argues Elizabeth Kantor. Jane Austen can show us how to find the love we really want.

In The Jane Austen Guide to Happily Ever After, Kantor reveals how the examples of Jane Austen heroines such as Elizabeth Bennett, Elinor Dashwood, and Anne Elliot can help us navigate the modern-day minefields of dating, love, relationships, and sex. By following in their footsteps—and steering clear of the sad endings suffered by characters such as Maria Bertram and Charlotte Lucas—modern women can discover the path to lifelong love and true happiness.

Charged with honesty and humor, Kantor’s book includes testimonies from modern women, pop culture parallels, the author’s personal experiences and, of course, a thorough examination of Austen’s beloved novels.

Featuring characters and situations from all of Jane Austen’s books (including unfinished novels, and stories not published in her lifetime), The Jane Austen Guide to Happily Ever After tackles the dating and relationship dilemmas that we face today, and equips modern women to approach our love lives with fresh insights distilled from the novels:

- Don’t be a tragic heroine
- Pursue Elizabeth Bennet’s “rational happiness” —learn what it is, and how you can find it
- Don’t let cynicism steal your happy ending
- Why it’s a mistake to look for your “soul mate”
- Jane Austen’s skeleton keys to a man’s potential
- How you should deal with men who are “afraid of commitment” (from Jane Austen’s eight case studies)
- Learn how to arrange your own marriage—by falling in love the Jane Austen way

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 19世紀人物的感情態度適用於現代嗎？不過也許他們比我們還要高明！

你是否已經不再有「從此過著幸福快樂的生活」的念頭？

珍·奧斯汀的作品大多以女性為中心，書中主角們溫柔又充滿個性。她們的自我覺醒、情感生活，尤其是尋找真愛時不失自我，總引起讀者們內心的嚮往，這也是從十九世紀至今依然受歡迎的原因。
反觀現代的愛情中，女性常不自覺中將自己放入低微的身段中。透過本書作者Elizabeth Kantor的分析，我們將從如伊麗莎白·班內特(Elizabeth Bennet)、愛蓮娜·達斯伍(Elinor Dashwood)等主角的身上得到解套的方法。
作者Kantor一向以坦白又幽默的口吻為人稱道！書中加入其個人論點和許多例子，更特別的是珍·奧斯汀作品中的人物分析，她們對於感情的態度與看法。你大概會懷疑十九世紀人物的作法適用於現代嗎？不過仔細檢視時，將會發現這些聰明的女性面對感情的態度、行動，或許是比生活在二十一世紀的我們更加高明與勇敢！

Awards/获奖情况：“What a wonderful book! Elizabeth Kantor writes with immense sense and sensibility about how single young women in today’s confusing world can find happiness by applying the principles of Jane Austen. I feel certain that Jane Austen would appreciate this witty and authentic take on her work, unlike so many wrong-headed pop interpretations one gets these days. I am heartily recommending this delightful and original book even to my more mature friends who are no longer looking for a single young man. Lovely writing”.--Charlotte Hays, senior fellow at the Independent Women’s Forum and bestselling co-author of Being Dead Is No Excuse: The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect Funeral and Somebody Is Going to Die if Lilly Beth Doesn’t Catch That Bouquet: The Official Southern Ladies G
