Autorentext
Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist known for six major novels, Pride and Prejudice; Sense and Sensibility; Becoming Jane; Emma; Mansfield Park; and Northanger Abbey. Her writing style has been widely thought of as a cross between realist and romantic genres. Austen's prose is poignant, and always features a strong-willed female protagonist. While sparing no detail depicting the lavishness of women in the English upper class, Austen also portrayed the reality of gendered social dynamics in the 19th century. Austen has been hailed as a heroine of her own time, in large part because most of the novels of the day were written by men. Indeed, her literature portrayed a female narrative that was often overlooked in the catalog of male authors at the time. Austen's platform gave an important voice to girls and women in literature, and it is for that reason, among countless others, that her works continue to inspire readers today.
Klappentext
Jane Austen's, Pride and Prejudice has been hailed as one of the most popular romantic novels in English literature. From tangled love affairs and heart-breaking betrayals, Pride and Prejudice is the story of an unexpected love affair that leaves the entire town buzzing. Brimming with gossip and guile, see why the love story between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy has withstood the test of time.
Mrs. Bennet's only hope in raising five daughters is that they will each find a husband who can provide for them a happy, and financially secure life. When word travels to the family that the neighborhood's newly arrived and most handsome man, Mr. Bingly, is a bachelor, Elizabeth never expects to find herself tangled in the web of drama he seems to create. Distancing herself from the other girls vying for his attention, Elizabeth knows what she wants, and it is not Mr. Bingly. But what she doesn't expect is the attraction that ensues after meeting the haughty Mr. Darcy, who she quickly realizes is not at all what he appears.
When the chemistry between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy proves undeniable, she must cast aside her judgements-and her family's protests- and let fate do the rest. Smart, out-spoken, and adamant in her views, Elizabeth must come to accept that sometimes love has an agenda of its own.
With an eye-catching new cover, and a cleanly typeset manuscript, this revised edition of Pride and Prejudice is both modern, and readable.
