Pride and Prejudice (Oxford World's Classics)

From its opening sentence, Jane Austen's most famous novel envelops us in the delightful world of the Bennets. The ill-matched Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, Charles Bingley and his sisters, and the fatuous Mr. Collins provide fine examples of Austen's artistry, and while entertaining, this novel is also a lesson on the follies of "pride" and "prejudice."
