Pride and Prejudice - by Jane Austen (Hardcover)

About the Book

When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

Book Synopsis

The witty and headstrong Elizabeth Bennet navigates the challenges of societal expectations and personal pride, particularly in her evolving relationship with the wealthy yet aloof Mr. Darcy. Through clever dialogue and enduring themes, Austen crafts a sharp critique of class-consciousness and the complexities of human relationships.
