Description
One of the most universally loved and admired English novels, Pride and Prejudice was penned as a popular entertainment. But the consummate artistry of Jane Austen (1775-1817) transformed this effervescent tale of rural romance into a witty, shrewdly observed satire of English country life that is now regarded as one of the principal treasures of English language.
In a remote Hertfordshire village, far off the good coach roads of George III's England, a country squire of no great means must marry off his five vivacious daughters. At the heart of this all-consuming enterprise are his headstrong second daughter Elizabeth Bennet and her aristocratic suitor Fitzwilliam Darcy -- two lovers whose pride must be humbled and prejudices dissolved before the novel can come to its splendid conclusion.

Our customer reviews
I am so disappointed as I only ordered this book for the amazing cover having already had a nice version of it but much preferring this cover. So I was very disappointed to receive such a different cover. Please change the picture. I'm sure it will make a nice gift anyway.show more

Well first of i was disappointed to find that the gorgeous cover which is displayed for the book at the top is not the cover at all. Since I got the book in a completely different cover which I have to be honest that I don't really fancy much. However the the inside font is beautiful and easy to read and as for the contents of the book, Jane Austen is amazing! Pride and Prejudice is a must read classic!show more
