Synopsis
Pride and Pnjudice is a delightful social comedy and a timelessly affecting love story. Elizabeth Bennet is the headstrong young woman whom no man seems capable of taming; Fitzwilliam Darcy is the arrogant landowner who disdains to think it would be worth his trying to do so. Jane Austen's poised narrative shows how these two apparently incompatible characters learn to overcome their initial feelings of mutual dislike. A tour-de-force of wit and sparkling dialogue, Pride and Prejudice is also a sumptuously detailed picture of contemporary society, which, in its exploration of manners and motives, has a great deal to say about the society of today. Austen's best-loved novel is a memorable story about the inaccuracy of first impressions, about the power of reason, and above all about the strange dynamics of human relationships and emotions.

About the Author
Jane Austen was born in 1775. The seventh child of a country rector, she lived at Steventon in Hampshire until 1801, when she moved first to Bath, then to Southampton. Her father died in 1805, and from that time the Austens settled at nearby Chawton. From a young age Jane entertained her family with stories and plays; by 23 she had written early versions of her first three major novels, Sense and Sensi bility, Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey, though they were not published for several years. Twelve years later she started work on Manefield Park; Emma and Persuasion, her last complete novel, soon followed. Jane Austen died at Winchester in 1817.
