Die geschwätzige Mrs. Bennet hat nur ein einziges Ziel: Eine gute Partie für jede ihrer fünf Töchter finden! Doch nicht zuletzt Intrigen und Standesdünkel machen dies zu einem schwierigen Unterfangen... Das ironische Sittengemälde aus dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert ist auch heute noch einer der beliebtesten englischen Romane!
Klappentext:
'Vanity, not love, has been my folly'
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.
