Description: Readers quickly warm to Jane Austen's elegant performance in this, one of the great original works of fiction. The story centers around the charming and vibrant Elizabeth Bennett, one of five sisters whose family circumstance dictates that they marry well, and the misunderstandings that can result sometimes hilariously — from hasty judgments. The novel's dialogue sparkles with wit and sarcasm, and its characters demonstrate Austen's complex — and comic — view of the human condition, and of the maneuverings of people in love. Much more than a comedy of manners and marriage, Pride and Prejudice has much to distinguish it, and much to delight readers, reading after reading.
