Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisNominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's witty comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. Renowned literary critic and historian George Saintsbury in 1894 declared it the "most perfect, the most characteristic, the most eminently quintessential of its author's works," and Eudora Welty in the twentieth century described it as "irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be."

  • Rereading Jane Austen.

    I had watched three different tv/movie versions and all were significantly different. Curiousity led me to reading the book snd it clarifies the story. Also depending on publish date the vernacular enlightens differently.

    Jane Austen was an excellent author, and Pride and Prejudice is a classic. It's my new favorite. My book is in very good shape.

  • Pride and Prejudice

    Classic novel by Jane Austen, much already said about it. What I like is that the initial meetings and subsequent courtships, with all their misunderstandings, quick mistaken judgments, and in the end final successes of the love relationships are in many ways quite the same today as they were when the book was first written in the 1800s, a tribute to the notion that some things never change. Austen writes with humor and compelling details, dives into the personalities and their interactions, and reflects on them without unnecessary distractions. The entire novel hangs together, each detail being both engaging and necessary for full appreciation. I absolutely relish every paragraph and page and am in no hurry to finish. Despite that numerous films have been made of the book and much written about it, it is still fresh and heartwarming to read in its original format, absolutely yummy.

  • Saw the play and thought I would like to read the book!

    Written a while ago, but still timely as a love story and not believing everything you hear about someone. Entertaining!
