Since its rapid fame in 1813, Pride and Prejudice have stayed one of the
most famous books in the English language. Jane Austen referred to this
splendid work as "her own darling child" and its enthusiastic and
courageous woman, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever
appeared in print." The heartfelt conflict between the perceptive
Elizabeth and her beloved lover, Mr. Darcy, is an amazing presentation
of acculturated striking. What's more, Jane Austen's brilliant mind
shines as her characters dance a sensitive quadrille of tease and
interest, making this book the most wonderful satire of the habits of
Regency England.
