Pride and Prejudice
by
Jane Austen
Pride And Prejudice, the story of Mrs. Bennet's attempts to marry off
her five daughters is one of the best-loved and most enduring classics
in English literature. Excitement fizzes through the Bennet household at
Longbourn in Hertfordshire when young, eligible Mr. Charles Bingley
rents the fine house nearby. He may have sisters, but he also has male
friends, and one of these—the haughty, and even wealthier, Mr.
Fitzwilliam Darcy—irks the vivacious Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the
Bennet girls. She annoys him. Which is how we know they must one day
marry. The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and Darcy is
a splendid rendition of civilized sparring. As the characters dance a
delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, Jane Austen's radiantly
caustic wit and keen observation sparkle.
