Pride & Prejudice - Jane Austen

في هذا العدد

This edition contains the original and unabridged text of this Jane Austen classic. Ideal for students, Janeites and new readers alike.
Pride and Prejudice follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London.
Though the story is set at the turn of the 19th century, it retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top of lists of "most loved books". It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature and receives considerable attention from literary scholars.
In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.
