Pride & Prejudice

Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet in Austen’s beloved classic Pride and Prejudice. 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 us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

Jane Austen always captivates with her beautiful stories. As in this one, with Elizabeth Bennet, an independent woman really advance for the century she was born. Jane Austen was a woman with a mature character and this book represents it.

I am pretty sure that this will be my favourite book for a long time from now.
I can’t imagine what kind of book and what kind of story could be better than this one.
The story is so good and so relatable….I just really loved it!
The only thing I can say is that everyone who wants to start reading classic novels should start with this one.
It will cause an endless love to this genre!

What can one say new about a classical piece of literature? I'm quite sure it's all been said before. Yet, I am compelled to praise it. Can we start with the aptly unforgettable title! It is only once you close the book you truly can appreciate it.

Pride and Prejudice continues to captivate readers not just because of its wit and charm, but due to the enduring relevance of its themes—misjudgments, personal growth, and the complexities of relationships. Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet remain icons of love and transformation, and their dynamic is timeless. Their story endures because it blends romance, humour, and social commentary, creating a narrative that still resonates with modern readers, despite being a classic.

I re-read it because a book club was reading Death at Pemberley (horrid book) and I wanted to check the source material for the characters. Perfection again.
