Pride and Prejudice: Illustrated and Annotated Classic Novel

Pride and Prejudice is Austen’s most popular novel—the unforgettable story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, first published in 1813. Set in England in the early 19th century, Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet's five unmarried daughters and their struggles to “marry well”. Things get complicated after the arrival into the neighbourhood of the rich and eligible Mr. Bingley and his friend, Mr. Darcy. While Bingley takes an immediate liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy has difficulty adapting to local society and repeatedly clashes with the second-eldest Bennet daughter, Elizabeth. Elizabeth Bennet, who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments, eventually comes to appreciate the difference between first impressions and genuine character. The humour in this memorable story lies in its honest depiction of manners, education, marriage and money during the Regency era in Great Britain. A True Classic that belongs on every bookshelf!
