Human foibles and early nineteenth-century manners are satirized in this romantic tale of English country family life as Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters are forced to marry well in order to keep the Bennet estate in their family. Reissue.
Klappentext:
Jane Austen\'s witty comedy of manners is one of the most universally loved and admired English novels of all time.
Spirited Elizabeth Bennet is one of a family of five daughters, and with no male heir, the Bennet estate must someday pass to their priggish cousin William Collins. Therefore, the girls must marry well and thus is launched the story of Elizabeth and the arrogant bachelor Mr. Darcy, in a novel renowned as the epitome of romance and wit. Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austen s masterwork, an entertaining portrait of matrimonial rites and rivalries, timeless in its hilarity and its honesty.
