Pride and Prejudice

Too proud to read adapted English books? Prejudiced against abridged editions? Then discover Jane Austen’s masterpiece in its original form! "Pride and Prejudice" is a social novel that tells the story of an unequal romance between an aristocrat and a young woman from a modest noble family with five daughters to marry off. For over two centuries, this love story has captivated devoted readers. And, of course, much of the credit goes to Austen’s gentle humor, her distinctive hallmark as a writer. Jane Austen was one of the first English female authors, both in terms of significance and chronology. Her writing style is elegant and ironic. Although she grew up in the same world of class prejudice at the turn of the 19th century as her characters, she rises effortlessly above it. Austen portrays this society — which she gently satirizes from the very first sentence — with both precision and affection. The plot may not be overly complicated, but her masterful command of style more than makes up for it. This unabridged edition invites you to enjoy the beauty of the English language in its original form!
