Synopsis:
Austen’s most popular novel, the unforgettable story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read
Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet in Austen’s beloved classicPride and Prejudice. 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 us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.
