Publisher Description
English actress Kate Beckinsale is the perfect reader for Jane Austen’s brilliant satire-slash-love story.
Very few novels inspire the kind of fanatical devotion that Jane Austen’s Regency-era classic does. Pride and Prejudice follows the inimitable Elizabeth Bennet and her sisters, who are expected to behave in just-so, socially acceptable ways…but that’s not really in the cards. Pride and Prejudice is a witty satire, a family melodrama, and, above all, one of the greatest—and most imitated—love stories in Western literature.
There was no such thing as an audiobook when Jane Austen first published Pride and Prejudice in 1813, but we know that Austen liked to test her novels by reading them out loud to her family. Actress Kate Beckinsale narrates this Apple Books exclusive audiobook of the beloved English novel, which is perfect considering Beckinsale portrayed another Austen heroine in a 1996 movie adaptation of Emma.
Customer Reviews
Story + Kate’s Performance = 5*
Kate’s performance gave life to the characters and the text in a way that I feel would’ve been impossible to otherwise grasp just from reading the text.
Truly wonderful
Always loved her stories and to be brought to life with such an engaging narrator was the cherry blossoming m top for me
Such a lovely classic
There are good books, and there are classics. What an outstanding job of everyone who made this production possible.
