Pride and Prejudice - (Vintage Classics) by Jane Austen (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The traditional favorite Jane Austen novel--her enduring story of pride and prejudice

When Elizabeth Bennet meets Mr. Darcy she is repelled by his overbearing pride, and prejudice towards her family. But the Bennet girls are in need of financial security in the shape of husbands, so when Darcy's friend, the affable Mr. Bingley, forms an attachment to Jane, Darcy becomes increasingly hard to avoid. Polite society will be turned upside down in this witty drama of friendship, rivalry, and love--Jane Austen's classic romance novel.
