"Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen is a classic novel published in 1813. Set in rural England during the early 19th century, it follows the lives and romantic entanglements of the Bennet family, particularly focusing on the protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet, and her tumultuous relationship with the aloof and wealthy Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. The novel explores themes of social class, marriage, morality, and the role of women in society. The title itself reflects two central themes: pride, which refers to the haughty and arrogant attitudes of some characters, and prejudice, which highlights the tendency to make hasty judgments based on appearances. Elizabeth Bennet is a sharp-witted and independent young woman who refuses to conform to the expectations of her society, which often values wealth and status over personal integrity. Mr. Darcy, initially perceived as proud and aloof, gradually reveals himself to be a complex character with his own vulnerabilities and virtues. Throughout the novel, misunderstandings, misjudgments, and societal pressures create obstacles to the budding romance between Elizabeth and Darcy. However, as they navigate these challenges and confront their own biases, they ultimately find love and understanding. Austen's writing is celebrated for its keen observations of human nature, its sharp wit, and its subtle irony. "Pride and Prejudice" remains one of the most beloved and enduring works of English literature, cherished for its memorable characters, engaging plot, and timeless themes.

Jane Austen's works have stood the test of time so wonderfully that it is folly to review them. And as there is always a wide choice of publisher and price, in the end you probably choose by the cover illustration. But this little volume is different.
I already had the entire Austen collection published as Collectors Library, by Barnes and Noble, and hoped to find it again through Alibris, since B&N no longer publishes it. I was delighted with this copy, a gift for a young friend just becoming interested in Austen, particularly because of the Hugh Thomson illustrations. These sketches of that by-gone era bring the story to life.She was so happy with the beautiful little volume - gilt-edged pages, small size, its own ribbon bookmark!
