Descripción editorial
An Apple Books Classic edition.
Jane Austen’s beloved classic opens with this witty and very memorable line: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” With all the twists and turns of a soap opera, Pride and Prejudice chronicles the drama that ensues when the wealthy bachelor Mr. Darcy moves close to the Bennet family home in the English countryside. The news of his arrival sends the socially ambitious Mrs. Bennet-whose main concern is finding suitable matches for her five daughters-into overdrive.
The book’s main character, the high-spirited Elizabeth Bennet, is a strikingly modern heroine: a woman who refuses to lower her expectations or transform herself to suit society’s norms. Austen’s novel achieves a remarkable balance, serving up barbed criticism of the obsession with money, status, and matrimony even as it draws us into a swoon-worthy love story. At its heart, Pride and Prejudice is a romantic comedy, and a darned great one at that. It’s so much fun to turn the pages and wonder about Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy: Will they or won’t they overcome their excessive pride and initial prejudices to make a happily-ever-after connection?

Es mi libro favorito muy lindo
Wow!
Once I started Couldn't stop, great book, the writing, the way it explains each situation, the way it makes you picture the way of life those days its simply wonderful, I can totally recommend it if you want to be amazed with great writing.
In some parts I had to repeat the reading to get the full view of what it was happening to comprehend fully everything, but it is all worth the time, because its Wonderfull
I just couldn't get enough of the letters it makes me wonder why we lost that type of expressing our feelings and making feel people what we think by writing, it is something that made a huge good impression on me, totally would start writing letters to my loved ones to express what I feel and leave them a part so personal of me.
Whatever I write will not make justice to what this book is read ir and then recommend it to everybody you know.
Is just the perfect love story…
Even though some of the costumes of that time might not be of our pleasure, it can kinda be overlooked from the development of the love story. Is the original haters to lovers story. And is not just a feeling between the character, but as well as us, the readers. We can greatly tell how little by little things start changing, and how not even her prejudice nor his pride stopped them from being together.
