English Summary:
Miss Emma Woodhouse of Hartfield lives in the small town of Highbury, and is young, pretty, and rich. Though she has decided she will never marry, Emma takes credit for matchmaking her friend and former governess, Miss Taylor, to the widower Mr. Weston. Emma decides to organize marriages for others of her acquaintance, despite friendly warnings not to meddle from Mr. Knightley, who is both an old friend, her brother-in-law, and the wealthy owner of Donwell Abbey. Emma resolves to marry her new friend, a pretty orphan named Harriet Smith, to the young parish priest Mr. Elton. This fails once Emma realizes to her horror that Elton desires to marry her instead.
New arrivals come to Highbury, including young orphan Miss Fairfax and Elton's new pretentious wife. Frank Churchill, the handsome son of Mr. Weston, also arrives generating interest and gossip. Emma, so sure of her ability to judge the feelings of others, believes that Frank wishes to marry her. Eventually the town discovers that Frank and Miss Fairfax have been secretly engaged, while Emma comes to recognize her true feelings for Mr. Knightley.
Hungarian Summary:
Emma bájos, gazdag, művelt és mások gondjai iránt fogékony, akit betegeskedő idős édesapja valósággal imád, ugyanakkor érzelmileg zsarol is. A sok szabadidővel rendelkező Emma egyetlen gyengesége, hogy baráti köréhez tartozó magányos hölgyeket a saját elképzelése szerint akar összeboronálni reményteljes fiatalemberekkel. Ami pedig a saját érzelmi életét illeti, képtelen megfejteni, hogy valójában mi is megy végbe a szívében. A naivitásig jóindulatú és tapasztalatlan Emma görcsös segíteni akarása miatt csaknem elmegy a saját boldogsága mellett.
