The Penguin English Library Edition of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen 'No sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes ...' When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

Rezension von Jassie 🪲Second times a charm?! Zumindest ging es mir so bei diesem, doch berühmtesten, Werk von Jane Austen. Vor einiger Zeit probierte ich in Stolz & Vorurteil reinzufinden und musste mich nach 50 Seiten geschlagen geben. Aber diesmal hab ich es fertig gelesen und sogar genossen! Die Geschichte rund um die Familie Bennett und ihre Töchter ist äußerst unterhaltsam und als Person die Gossip liebt, sowieso perfekt. Im Englischen fielen mir manche Redewendungen und Schreibweisen schwer, da es doch in einem älteren Englisch verfasst ist, aber das hält einen nicht wirklich davon ab den Kontext zu verstehen und der Handlung folgen zu können.
