Synopsis

One of the most beloved novels ever written, featuring the unforgettable romance of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. Ranked fourth in PBS's The Great American Read, this beautifully prepared illustrated edition features twenty-four historical illustrations.

Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's celebrated novel of love, family, social class, and the danger of first impressions, has captivated readers for more than two centuries.

First published in 1813, the story follows the spirited and independent Elizabeth Bennet, the second of five daughters in a family whose future depends heavily upon advantageous marriages.

When the wealthy and charming Mr. Bingley arrives in the neighborhood, accompanied by his proud and reserved friend Mr. Darcy, the Bennet family's quiet country life is transformed. As friendships deepen, misunderstandings multiply, and unexpected attractions develop, Elizabeth must confront her own prejudices while Darcy learns that pride can stand in the way of happiness.

Filled with sparkling dialogue, unforgettable characters, gentle humor, and Austen's brilliant observations of human nature, Pride and Prejudice remains one of the great achievements of English literature.
