Pride and Prejudice

by Jane Austen

Pride and Prejudice Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For over 150 years, Pride And Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen herself called this brilliant work her "own darling child." Pride And Prejudice, the story of Mrs. Bennet's attempts to marry off her five daughters is one of the best-loved and most enduring classics in English literature. Excitement fizzes through the Bennet household at Longbourn in Hertfordshire when young, eligible Mr. Charles Bingley rents the fine house nearby. He may have sisters, but he also has male friends, and one of these—the haughty, and even wealthier, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy—irks the vivacious Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the Bennet girls. She annoys him. Which is how we know they must one day marry. The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and Darcy is a splendid rendition of civilized sparring. As the characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, Jane Austen's radiantly caustic wit and keen observation sparkle.

Review:

"The wit of Jane Austen has for partner the perfection of her taste."—Virginia Woolf

Review:

"The wit of Jane Austen has for partner the perfection of her taste."

--Virginia Woolf

From the Trade Paperback edition.

Synopsis:

Austen's comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of 18-century drawing-room intrigues. Reissue.

There is a reason why this novel is one of Austen's most popular! I loved this book when I first read it in school. It's a book that I can read and reread many times and not be tired of.
