Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen · 1813 · Romance, Satire & Humor, Drama & Literary
When the wealthy Mr. Bingley takes a country house nearby, Mrs. Bennet scents a chance to marry off one of her five daughters — and sets in motion the most beloved comedy of manners ever written. Quick-witted Elizabeth Bennet clashes with the proud, aloof Mr. Darcy, whose ten thousand a year cannot excuse his manners; between them stand a charming liar in a scarlet coat, a fawning clergyman, a formidable great lady, and a family forever on the edge of scandal. As first impressions curdle and pride meets prejudice, Jane Austen turns the drawing-rooms of Regency England into a battlefield of wit and feeling. Complete and richly illustrated.
