In Jane Austen's England wimmelt es nur so von den "Unaussprechlichen." Die Etikette und die höfliche Gesellschaft herrschen noch immer, aber sie werden großen Belastungen ausgesetzt, wenn zum Beispiel der Ball von Netherfield durch einen plötzlichen Angriff auf die Hausangestellten unterbrochen wird. Elizabeth Bennett ist immer noch für ihre Schönheit und Intelligenz bekannt. Jedoch auch für ihr Know-how in der "tödlichen Kunst", eine Fähigkeit, die ihre Chancen auf dem Heiratsmarkt erheblich verschlechtert.
As a mysterious plague falls upon the village of Meryton and zombies start rising from the dead, Elizabeth Bennett is determined to destroy the evil menace, but becomes distracted by the arrival of the dashing and arrogant Mr. Darcy.
The New York Times best seller is now a major motion picture starring Lily James and Sam Riley, with Matt Smith, Charles Dance, and Lena Headey.
Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is an audacious retelling of English literature s most enduring novel. This expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem begins when a mysterious plague falls upon the quiet English village of Meryton and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield. It s the perfect read for literature lovers, zombie fans, and anyone who loves a reani mated Austen.
Rezension:
a jolly mash-up of Austen s 1813 classic and the horror tropes of the walking dead -Philadelphia Inquirer
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is the ultimate mash-up. Newsday
Because every story is better with zombies, Seth Grahame-Smith's bestselling novel-turned-movie is a must-read for Austen lovers... Pride and Prejudice and Zombies needs to be on every P&P fan's shelf. Bustle
A delightful horror-comedy that can be kind of scary, but it s an absolute joy to read. Feel-good horror at its finest! BookRiot
