Book ID/图书代码： 05170012B56120
English Summary/英文概要： The Jane Austen Guide to Life playfully and poignantly examines Austen’s life and novels for the timeless advice that still applies for today’s women. Austen may not understand texting or tweeting or platform heels, but as an astute student of human nature, she can surely teach us an awful lot about ourselves--and we might just be surprised by what she has to say.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《簡•奧斯丁生活指南》生動有趣地探尋了奧斯丁的一生，並闡釋了小說中仍然適用于今天的婦女的永恆的智慧忠告。奧斯丁也許不會瞭解短信或手機微博，或是防水台高跟鞋，但作為人類本性的聰明學生，她肯定會教授我們如何更多地瞭解自身—而我們也可能會驚訝於她所述的那些箴言。(Sandy)
Awards/获奖情况：簡•奧斯丁已經成為我們的浪漫愛情的守護神，我們的幸福結局的女神。她的名字是浪漫的歎息，一個時代的化身，和理想的愛情的代言人。但如果她能給我們的生活和愛情給予一定的忠告，她會告訴我們些什麼呢？她會如何向我們詮釋珍愛網，或我們的《絕望主婦》系列，或是我們對尋找Mr. Right的癡迷呢？
奧斯丁的故事給我們男女關係的建議，在今天看來仍然適用，但她的一生卻為我們提供了更多的智慧，而不僅僅只是那片刻溫情愛意。在我們當今浮躁的文化背景下，奧斯丁甘於默默無聞的處事態度無疑令人耳目一新。諷刺的是，簡•奧斯丁 — — 愛情故事的大師 — — 雖終身未婚，但仍然可以告訴我們一些關於單身的事情。她在歷經這些痛苦時，如何運用優雅的風度和風趣的幽默來化解這些危機。
在這部溫馨的傳記和指南書籍中，作者Lori Smith臆測了奧斯丁獻給二十一世紀女性的贈言 — — 一切從生活我們的夢想，被一名女子的本質，如何找到一個好的男人、理財和其他更多生活智慧。
作為人類本性的聰明學生，奧斯丁能教給我們如何真正更好地活出自我。
Jane Austen has become our patron saint of romance, our goddess of happy endings. Her name is synonymous with romantic sighs, period costumes, and the ideal of what love should be. But if she could give us advice about life and love, what would she tell us? What would she make of Match.com, of our Real Housewives, or of our obsession with finding The One?
Austen’s stories give us relationship advice that still works today, but her life offers us more wisdom than just that pertaining to love. In our fame-obsessed culture, it’s refreshing to think that Austen preferred to remain anonymous. Ironically, Jane Austen—master of love stories—never married and can teach us something about being single. She also endured many painful circumstances and managed them with grace and humor.
In this light biography and guide, author Lori Smith surmises about Austen’s sensible advice for twenty-first-century women—on everything from living our dreams, being a woman of substance, finding a good man, managing money, and more.
As such an astute student of human nature, Austen can teach us much about ourselves and about what it means to live well.
