About the Book
First published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice follows the five Bennet sisters as their mother schemes to see them married off to men of good fortune. Elizabeth Bennet, the second eldest and most independent-minded of the sisters, initially dismisses the wealthy Mr. Darcy as arrogant and unfeeling after a disastrous first impression at a local ball. As the story unfolds through a series of misunderstandings, letters, and revelations, both Elizabeth and Darcy are forced to confront their own pride and prejudice, learning that first impressions can be deeply misleading. Austen weaves a brilliant social comedy around themes of class, marriage, reputation, and personal growth, all delivered with razor-sharp wit and some of the most quotable dialogue in English literature. This hardcover edition features a decorative cover design and sturdy casebound binding, built to withstand repeated reading and display beautifully on a shelf.
