Publisher Description

Pride and Prejudice is a masterpiece of wit and perception, ridiculing the superficial manners of Jane Austen’s time. But it is more than just social satire. Notice, in particular, how the author’s close attention to detail makes the events and characters so true to life. Above all, enjoy the story—its sheer narrative force and humor—and enter a world of snobbery, romance, and uncertainty in which people behave casually, indifferently, or even cruelly—in short, just like people behave everywhere in the world today.

"Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book by far! There's so many different personalities and you feel as if you truly know the characters. Elizabeth Bennett is my favorite charcter, naturally. She's an intelligent, down to earth woman who enjoys reading. Her family is a bit chaotic and act foolish at times but every character grows on you and is essential for making the book excellent. Mr. Darcy's demeanor in the beginning makes for an intersting twist when you see how different he becomes in the end. A good man through and through but love brings out a particular charm in him. There is much drama to be had to make this a page turner but done in a very realistic way. You will find deceit, lies, romance, and a compelling urge to smack a few people into their senses through the pages. It's an amazing book, a must read for all!"

    " In my opinion, this book was one among the many pieces that 'turned' literature around. This piece, as I observed, is the basis of some of the great stories I have read. Two star-crossed lovers played by fate,blinded by hate and misgivings only to fall in love at the end. I sincerely recommend this book to all. "

    " Great. Austine never fails me. Currently she is the most favorite author in Britain. Pride and prejudice is also masterpiece. I can't stop flipping the pages while I find how Elizabeth discovers Mr.Darcy. Guessing what's trend of Austines's era is also exciting. Tottaly I enjoyed this novel. I still have a few to-read Austine's novel. Very excited. "

    " Very playful in characterization and gave the lead Lizzie a lot of wit and independence of thought. The long winded, well versed arguments and come backs are funny and well written, making you wish that in real life you could put together such a tirade when ever it was needed. "

    " I just don't understand the appeal of this book. I read it because I had so many people recommend it and was sorely disappointed. It's just plain boring. I had to force my way through it. I don't see it as a great romance because the characters aren't developed enough to even form an opinion on them. Skip this one. "

About Jane Austen

Jane Austen (1775–1817) is considered by many scholars to be the first great woman novelist. Born in Steventon, England, she later moved to Bath and began to write for her own and her family’s amusement. Her novels, set in her own English countryside, depict the daily lives of provincial middle-class families with wry observation, a delicate irony, and a good-humored wit.
