The provincial Bennet family, home to five unmarried daughters, is turned upside down when a wealthy bachelor takes up a house nearby.
Mr. Bingley enhances his instant popularity by hosting a ball and taking an interest in the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane. Meanwhile, Mr. Darcy, Bingley's even wealthier friend, makes himself equally unpopular by his aloof disdain of country manners. Yet he is drawn in spite of himself to the spirited and intelligent Elizabeth Bennet, who proves to be his match in both wit and pride. Their sparkling repartee is a splendid performance of civilized sparring infused with unacknowledged romantic tension.
Pride and Prejudice delightfully captures the affectations and rivalries of class-conscious English families in an age when status and security for women hung entirely on matrimonial ambitions. Austen's characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England.
It is also the source of some of the most memorable characters ever written, from the fatuous Mr. Collins, whose proposal to Elizabeth is one of the finest comic passages in English literature, to the beloved heroine Elizabeth, whom the author herself deemed "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print."

"** spoiler alert ** Pride and Prejudice is about love that was found between classes (wealth and social). When the town finds out that the wealthy Charles Bingley has come in everyone one prepares to present there daughters so that he may choose them for marriage. The Bennets prepared to present there daughters Jane,Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, and Lyndia. The Bennets go to the ball that was being host and Charles is attending and they find that Jane and Charles Bingley had created a connection and he only danced and talked to her all night. Also that night Charles Bingley's close friend Mr. Darcey did not take a liking to the event taking place and refused to dance with Elizabeth and after that everyone saw him as arrogant and obnoxious. After the ball Mr. Bingley invited Jane to the house and when she was walking a storm came in an once she arrived to his home she became very ill and Mr. Bingley took care of her. After Jane got better she and Mr. Bingley became closer together. Also Mr. Darcey and Elizabeth become close as well and Mr. Darceyt seems to be fight with himself because he is finding himself falling for Elizabeth. After all of this the Bennets have a from Mr. Collins ( he is a young clergyman who stands to inherit Mr. Bennet’s property) but he come with the intentions of asking for a hand in marriage to the eldest daughter Jane but he then finds out the Jane will be soon to be engaged so he then asks Elizabeth and she refuses at once. She tells Darcy that she considers him arrogant and unpleasant, then scolds him for steering Bingley away from Jane and disinheriting Wickham. Darcy leaves her but shortly thereafter delivers a letter to her. In this letter, he admits that he urged Bingley to distance himself from Jane, but claims he did so only because he thought their romance was not serious. As for Wickham, he informs Elizabeth that the young officer is a liar and that the real cause of their disagreement was Wickham’s attempt to elope with his young sister, Georgiana Darcy. This letter causes Elizabeth to reevaluate her feelings about Darcy. She returns home and acts coldly toward Wickham. Lyndia then runs away with Wickham and no one can find them so Elizabeth and her father go on journey to find them and are fear full that they are living together not married.Just when all hope seems lost, a letter comes from Mr. Gardiner saying that the couple has been found and that Wickham has agreed to marry Lydia in exchange for an annual income. They both returned and Lyndia and Wickham are married. Elizabeth then finds out that the money that he s receiving is from Darcey. Shortly thereafter, Bingley returns to Netherfield and resumes his courtship of Jane. Darcy goes to stay with him and pays visits to the Bennets but makes no mention of his desire to marry Elizabeth. Bingley, on the other hand, presses his suit and proposes to Jane. After that Darcey and Elizabeth find each other no longer to hold their ove in and they confess there love to each other and get married. I personally LOVE this book because not only was it love story but it was the kind of love story that give you hope and make you think that one day maybe you can find your prince charming. I think my favorite line of the book is when Mr. Darcey says " You have bewitched me body and soul." that just makes your heart sink. I would recommend this book to anyone who is a romance novel lover and to women who just want to believe in love again."
— Amy (4 out of 5 stars)
“There is a truth of painting in her writings which always delights me.”

— Masterpieces of World Literature“The wit of Jane Austen has for partner the perfection of her taste.”
— Virginia Woolf" My favorite classic. Love it! "
— Lisa, 2/20/2014" This is one of my favorite Austen books. "
— Jduell, 2/20/2014" Was only able to get through a few pages before putting it down. Too fluffy for me. "
— Annemarie, 2/16/2014" It started very slow, however,I soon found that I had been completely sucked in to the story. I also found myself in Elizabeth as she related to Mr Darcy "
— Abigail, 2/16/2014" Jane Austen is so clever and sarcastic, which is why this, the greatest love story of all time, is my favorite novel. "
— Allison, 2/16/2014" i love mr. darcy and elizabeth's relationship "
— Trina, 2/15/2014" Although it took me some time to finish, this class novel completely swept me away. The language was difficult to follow at times, but still beautiful when I began to submerge myself in the reading. Elizabeth is sure to become on of my favorite Heroines. I feel a love/hate relationship with the characters, and rarely get so attached to a story. "
— Christa, 2/15/2014" A book I tried to read when I was younger, and then reread in my twenties. It was funny, witty, and just a great time. "
— Kristen, 2/13/2014" Affection and love is something that is greater than anything. "
— Priya, 2/12/2014" No one compares to Jane Austen. From writing style to plot to characters, Pride and Prejudice is hands down her best novel. "
— Noor, 2/11/2014" One of the best books of all time. A Must-To-Read. You can really get inside the country, the society and the time of the story, you can almost feel you are talking with Elizabeth and Darcy, and they are sharing their story. "
— Kevin, 2/10/2014" Read it when i was young. Beautiful stories. Great Characters "
— Ekta, 2/8/2014" Although I have seen the BBC mini series and the film of this story (and love love love them by the way!), the book still had more to it than the series and the film. It's more detailed, which makes the character of mr. Bennet so funny, which gives more background information on the other characters in the story, which tells you what happens after the series and film are ended! It was also easier to feel the despair, the fear, the anxiousness etc.etc.. "
— Tamara, 2/8/2014" I couldn't put this book down! The language could be challenging at times if you weren't paying attention but the story is full of lovely twists and second chances. "
— Audrea, 2/8/2014" The Lizzie Bennet Diaries! (on youtube) "
— Mariel, 2/8/2014" One if my favorite books ever. I read it the first time as a high school senior for English class and fell in love with Jane Austen. I read and reread all her work several years ago. Love. "
— Leticia, 2/7/2014" no matter how many times i try, i just can't get into this. "
— Skagirlie, 2/6/2014" Boring. 1800s Twilight - the invention of a new, racy genre for all the housewives out there. "
— Zoe, 2/5/2014" With no trouble whatsoever, i can definitley say that this is my favorite book. it is well written and moves smoothly between the events and the tone is one where you are not alienated by the characters or feel pity for them, you live with them. "
— Ghaliah, 2/4/2014" This novel is a masterpiece covering manners, morality, education and importance of marriage. All very contemporary topics. The character of Mr. Darcy is fascinating and intriguing to me. i enjoyed that love, in the end, prevails over Pride and Prejudice. "
— Deborah, 2/2/2014" still one of the best "
— Jess, 2/2/2014" This is my favorite book of all time. I read it about once a year. The verbal intelligence of the main characters is the highlight of this book. And to really love it you must put it in the context of the social and economic realities of the era (especially for women). "
— Kristin, 2/2/2014" While the more archaic writing style can be a challenge for some readers (i personally enjoyed the prose and expanded my vocabulary because of it) this books characters and themes transcend age. Wether it's with the iconoclastically headstrong protagonist, Lizzi, the absurdly funny Mrs. Bennet, the sycophantically comical Mr. Collins, the kind and diffident Jane or a host of other characters this book will receive your approbation. Thematically ideas of feminism, classism, and human pride and of course prejudice are all addressed. Apart from being an established classic in our culture (and therefore worthy of being read just because of this) Pride and Prejudice is a wonderful book. "
— Jake, 2/2/2014" This was amazing! I can't say enough about Emilia Fox and her rendition of Pride and Prejudice! As Caroline Bingley would say " she had the air and manner in her voice" that complimented every character in the book. I guess I was just a little surprised because I was prejudiced into thinking of little Georgiana Darcy and thought that was what you would get in her voice. But NO, she expertly read every Character as they ought to be read. I felt that I was watching the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice in my mind. This audio book is not to be missed by ANY Jane Austen fan! And I highly recomend it to anyone who is even thinking of reading any of Jane's works. This was truely wonderful and if I could rate it higher I would. "
— Charlene, 2/2/2014" I really enjoyed this novel & am looking forward to reading more Jane Austen. The language was so rich, so engaging...although hard to get into at first. "
— Laura, 1/31/2014" I loved this book! Can it really be 200 years since its publication? I am all astonishment! "
— Beckyt, 1/31/2014" Favorite EVER! JANE AND DARCY 5EVER! "
— Merpotterlockian, 1/30/2014" It is a truth universally acknowledged, that when a beloved novel celebrates the 200th anniversary of it's publication, one must be in want of reading it again. "
— Patti, 1/29/2014" read as a kid, still love it. "
— Madhur, 1/29/2014" No need to really review. If you have the chance to read Jane Austen, read this book. 5/5 stars. "
— Blair, 1/25/2014" I didn't expect to be so hooked with this classic novel. Admittedly, I found the first few chapters a bit dull, but as I went through the next few chapters, I was captivated by Lizzy's wit and Mr. Darcy's character. Jane Austen also gave me a glimpse of the life of England's young ladies way back in the 1800s. "
— Richelle, 1/24/2014" I could read this book over and over again...top 10 "
— Bonnie, 1/24/2014" Some how Austen created a story and characters that I can revisit in different mediums, modernized versions, Bollywood musicals, and I enjoy everyone of them. Of course, the book is the best version, but I don't swoon over Darcy like so many do. He's stiff and conservative and rather boring. But I love the story regardless. "
— Bethany, 1/24/2014" Pride & Prejudice was a much better written with much deeper character development and a much more intricate plot than Mansfield Park (all of which I find very interesting because it was written by an Austen in her late teens / early 20's yet maintained a wizened and deep sense of societal understanding and life experience). Keeping with the same themes, as Austen tends to all the time, this one had an ending that was appropriate and satisfying for the novel's purpose. It wasn't exactly realistic in outcome, but as a romance novel I'd like to think this could have actually happened. Anyway, now having read 2 of Austen's works, I think I'm pretty much a fan. "
— Alex, 1/23/2014" who doesn't fancy a sir like Mr Darcy "
— Alma, 1/21/2014" Kind of confusing because of all those huge vocabulary words "
— Sophia, 1/19/2014" I am completely, utterly and madly in love with this novel. "
— shahbakht, 1/19/2014" My favorite book of all time. "
— April, 1/19/2014" I never read this in my youth and was a little thrown of by my Kindle saying it was 4920 pages, but I persevered. I really liked this book and the characters. Since I've recently become a fan of Downton Abbey I was reminded of that and was envisioning England at that time. Very,very interesting. "
— Elaine, 1/19/2014" Read it when i was young. Beautiful stories. Great Characters "
— Ekta, 1/19/2014" Great classic, read it so many times, never gets old. Every girl should read this once. Plus we all deserve a Mr Darcy of our own. "
— Lucy, 1/19/2014" This novel is wonderful! I'm in love with Mr. Darcy so much! He is mysterious and very kind ! "
— Aisyah, 1/19/2014" My favorite. Wonderful classic that gets better every time I read it. "
— Rachel, 1/18/2014" I somehow missed reading this in school. I had a desire to read a classic and enjoyed it immensely. "
— Julia, 1/17/2014" This is one of my favorite stories. It's a great classic. "
— Bridget, 1/16/2014" I don't remember a lot of details about this book, but what I can remember is that it's a classic that kept me turning the pages. What's cool about this book is that it seems to mix genres; the style, at times, has the flowery and long-windedness of Victorian writing while being intriguing because of realism and so the complexity of characters. It's also cool because this book see-saws between the cultural setting of English history (reflected by the mannerisms and behaviors of characters) and self-containment (reflected by being able to forget about the cultural setting because of the plot and character development). "
— Kindra, 1/16/2014" Have to say I really enjoyed this book. The pacing was slower than I'm used to but the writing was superb and the characters really well developed. Of the books I've read from this period it was by far the most engaging and readable while also ticking the literary boxes you'd expect from a book with such a reputation. "
— Chris, 1/16/2014" Two stars is my rating from when I read this on my own in high school. I liked it more the second time through when we read it for class, and I started to understand the humor in it. I even wrote my AP English literary criticism/research paper on this book, which helped me appreciate it more than when I read it independently. "
— Lindsey, 1/16/2014" My favourite book!!! Oh I just love Mr Darcy "
— Anita, 1/15/2014" All time favorite. Read dozen times. "
— Jasmine, 1/15/2014" I could read this book over and over again...top 10 "
— Bonnie, 1/14/2014" One of my very favorite books! "
— Cindy, 1/14/2014" Austen is very deceptivly cynical. I love the when the heroine falls in love with the hero after seeing his estate. Austen has been miscast as the source for so many romantic comedy when I have never read anyone who is more cynical about money and marriage. "
— James, 1/13/2014" I read this book at school and have very fond memories of it.. Mr D'Arcy and friends. Need to re read this classic novel "
— Danielle, 1/13/2014" Even though I had seen the movie before actually reading it, I still enjoyed it immensely. It is such a lovely love story with wonderful language. "
— Ali, 1/12/2014" I am now proud to say that I have finally read this book. Being a teenager, I am more inclined to read fast-paced, fictional books like The Hunger Games and Harry Potter, but I have to say that aside from having a bit of trouble following along and keeping track of the four billion different characters (Lady Catherine, Mr. Bingley, Lydia, Kitty, Mr. Darcy, Jane, Mary, and Mr. Wickam being a few (sorry if I spelled some of their names wrong)) I quite enjoyed it. I have seen the movie but its been over a year so I had completely forgotten the storyline, although I remembered that I really liked it, and so thoroughly enjoyed revisiting it in book form. The characters were great, especially Mr. Darcy, Jane, and Elizabeth's mother (who was very funny in all her fussiness, and continual exclamations). I now understand why this is such a well-known and beloved classic, and am very pleased to have it as a part of my bookshelf. "
— Kena, 1/11/2014" Kind of confusing because of all those huge vocabulary words "
— Sophia, 1/10/2014" I loved this book. It definitely has some epic quotations and I love the spirit of Elizabeth. "
— Leah, 1/8/2014" this is my all-time-favorite romance story "
— Nesma, 1/6/2014" I don't think I'd read this since high school. Loved it. Amazed by the writing and the character development. Also interested in the contrast to Sense and Sensibility, which isn't nearly as polished. On to Mansfield Park. "
— Grace, 1/2/2014" There is no romance in the 20th century, movie or book, that does not reference Austin. And out of those references of romance 8 out 10 times it is THIS book. There is no sex, no making out, not even a kiss, but girls sigh when Mr. Darcy asks if there is anyway she would consider him. True romance has very little to with sex, and any guy wants to learn the pitfalls to a girls heart here is a how to manual. "
— Marleahh, 12/31/2013" Epic romance without the sap! "
— Carmen, 12/27/2013" was an amazing book. love the whole story line. "
— Bekk, 12/23/2013" Weird one for me to like, but won't lie. I liked it. "
— Jason, 12/21/2013" Jane Austen is one of my favorites authors ever and this book is on my top five greatest books of all time. I adore her characters and it is simply an enjoyable read. This book is classic literature at its best. "

— Bekk, 12/19/2013" I loved this book. It is one of my favorites and the only book I enjoyed reading at school. "
— Alaa, 12/19/2013" Kind of confusing because of all those huge vocabulary words "
— Sophia, 12/18/2013" I read this my Sophomore year of high school. As a class we could pick from about 4 different books, and I was the only student who chose P&P! I convinced some others to read it too and we did a play on it as our group project. "
— JR, 12/17/2013" Jane Austen - Articulate and descriptive as always! "
— Mamta, 12/11/2013" What can you say about this book? It's a classic. Probably one of the best novels ever written. The fact that it has stood the test of time is a testament to it's greatness. What girl doesn't want to find her Mr. Darcy? "
— Stephanie, 12/9/2013" I love Jane Austen books, and this did not disappoint! "
— Shelby, 12/6/2013" The plot line is very rich and detailed, following the Bennett sisters and their quest for love. At times, the book feels a bit colloquial, however, it is one the best love stories of all time. "
— Sam, 12/4/2013" What can I say? This is a classic and I'm glad I finally read it. I did fall in love with Mr. Darcy as well. "
— Jeanne, 12/1/2013" What can compare to the original words of Jane Austen...oh wait the BBC version with Colin Firth! "
— Stacie, 11/30/2013" I really enjoyed this book because of its happy ending. The story is very romantic and appealing to young women going through the same times as the Bennet girls. It is a loving story that I found entertaining to read. Both main characters end up married and happy which make me the reader happy. "
— Amy, 11/29/2013" Favorite book of all time-- "
— Jan, 11/28/2013" Beautiful book, one of my favorites! "
— Kasey, 11/26/2013" Classic love story with an 'ahead of her time' girl. This will remain one of my favorites. "
— Dawn, 11/25/2013" Romantic novel that describes how Mr. Darcy loves elisabeth with all the hidden goodness. "
— Trisna, 11/23/2013" What can I say? This is a classic and I'm glad I finally read it. I did fall in love with Mr. Darcy as well. "
— Jeanne, 11/23/2013" This is my comfort book. This is the book I turn to on rainy days and vacations. I am always swept away by this beautiful story. Pride and Prejudice will always be my favorite book "
— Jessica, 11/11/2013" I actually didn't enjoy this book as much as i thought it would. "
— Kee, 11/10/2013" Recently I have been re-discovering the classics. Funny how time will change one owns attitude about a book. When I was young, I never could finish this book, now as a mature adult, I find I can appreciate the book. "
— Reyannan, 11/8/2013" I think it's a very interesting book. full of life skills "
— Rocio, 11/5/2013" This is an important story for understanding the social mores of a past century. This especially demonstrates the restrictions placed on females in different cultures or even in the earlier centuries of our own culture. Plus this is a compelling love story. "
— Maureen, 11/5/2013" A bit slow at first, but don't give up! One of my favorite all-time reads! "
— Sarah, 10/28/2013" A classic go-to book that I read at least once a year. "

— Annie, 10/27/2013" One of the great novels "
— Anthony, 10/25/2013" The storyline was interesting, but the plot was slow. It was very dramatic, but it was a good read all the same. "
— Ashleigh, 10/4/2013" Honestly I tried to read this twice in my life . I couldn't get into the book. It is maybe not my cup of tea ,but I was bored with it. "
— Caitlyn, 10/4/2013" No one compares to Jane Austen. From writing style to plot to characters, Pride and Prejudice is hands down her best novel. "
— Noor, 9/28/2013" why i recall some very old stories "
— Zhuo, 9/27/2013" Recently I have been re-discovering the classics. Funny how time will change one owns attitude about a book. When I was young, I never could finish this book, now as a mature adult, I find I can appreciate the book. "

— Edwina, 8/25/2013" One of the best books of all time. A Must-To-Read. You can really get inside the country, the society and the time of the story, you can almost feel you are talking with Elizabeth and Darcy, and they are sharing their story. "

— pjreads, 8/12/2013" I Thought the book was pretty good, but not GREAT. For one, the settings of England in the 18th and 19th centuries are not settings that i am very fond. Other than that, I really liked all the different relationships and the need to get married. "
— Allison, 8/12/2013" One of my favorites books "
— Beatrice, 7/21/2013" makes me believe in love. "
— Sonam, 7/10/2013" With no trouble whatsoever, i can definitley say that this is my favorite book. it is well written and moves smoothly between the events and the tone is one where you are not alienated by the characters or feel pity for them, you live with them. "
— Ghaliah, 6/28/2013" My absolute favorite and one that I connect with and wish men were still honorable and admired true personality and soul. Ah, this is romance! "
— Sally, 6/26/2013" Beautiful. I read (listened to) this with a lot of apprehensions - I don't like classics per se - but really, this is beautiful. It did not move me, it did not emvelop me with its language; but all that is trivia. It engaged me. It was 14 and a half hours well spent. "
— Shom, 6/3/2013" No me canso de este libro, uno de mis favoritos "
— Tatiana, 5/28/2013" This book never gets old. The characters are relatable: funny and flawed. "

— Jamie, 12/23/2012" One of the best books of all time. A Must-To-Read. You can really get inside the country, the society and the time of the story, you can almost feel you are talking with Elizabeth and Darcy, and they are sharing their story. "
— Kevin, 12/18/2012" I love all of Jane Austen's books. I think they have taught me as much about "character" as anything else. I just love falling into her character's art of conversation! "
— Fawn, 12/11/2012" I read this book once a year. "
— Amy, 12/3/2012" Loved the writing, loved the characters and love Jane Austen. Why or why didn't I read this book as a teenager. Well, it might have changed my life and then what? Best to have waited. "
— Carolinecarver, 11/24/2012" I love pride and prejudice! Every girl should be loved like that... Read it! I also love the movie!:) "
— Jillian, 11/23/2012" I read this book dozens of times, I still love it! "

— Cassidy, 10/23/2012" Great story....although I've seen many of the movie adaptations, I still was drawn in and wondering what was going to happen next. The only part that disappointed was the end. It just stopped. I much rather prefer the Kiera Knighley ending: "Mr. Darcy... Mr. Darcy... Mr. Darcy!" "
— Camille, 10/9/2012" It was fun to reread this (it's been at least a decade since I've read it) and at the same time watch a couple of the movie versions. Happy 200th birthday this year! "
— Jenny, 10/9/2012" What can compare to the original words of Jane Austen...oh wait the BBC version with Colin Firth! "

— Erin, 4/17/2011" One of the best books I ever read. Long but such a clever description of the times. Great characters who are often misunderstood at first meeting. Usually I don't enjoy movies made from books, but PBS did a 5 hour production of this that was wonderful. "
— Laf, 4/8/2011" it was good but had I not seen the movie I think the writing style would have prevented me from finishing it. love Darcy! "

— Frances, 1/8/2011Jane 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.
Carolyn Seymour is a voice artist and audiobook narrator. She was born in England and grew up on a farm on the Isle of Wight. Her rather eccentric Russian Irish parents instilled in her a love of reading and a passion for the countryside.
