Publisher Description
This is the story of Elizabeth and Darcy. When they come together for the first time, they are not able to understand each other. This lack of understanding and the ego war separate them. After a chain of events, they come together. Despite stiff resistance from other competitors, Darcy is finally able to win the heart of Elizabeth. This is a fine classic for which its author, Jane Austen, is respected.
The original flavour of these classics has been carefully retained in these abridged versions.
Must be read by the youth, housewives, students and executives.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Collagist Fabe adds flair to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice with 39 original illustrations that accompany the unabridged text. Fabe's collages overlay bright, watercolor-washed scenes with retro cut-paper figures and objects sampled from fashion magazines from the 1930s to the '50s. Accompanying each tableau is a quote from the Pride and Prejudice passage that inspired it. Like Austen's book, Fabe's work explores arcane customs of beauty and courtship, pageantry and social artifice: in one collage, a housewife holds a tray of drinks while a man sits happily with a sandwich in hand in the distance. While tinged with irony and more than a dash of social commentary, the collages nevertheless have a spirit of glee and evidence deep reverence for the novel. As Fabe describes in a preface, Austen "was a little bit mean the way real people are mean so there are both heroes and nincompoops. Family is both beloved and annoying. That is Austen's genius, her ability to describe people in all their frailty and humor." This is a sweet and visually appealing homage. (BookLife)
