Pride and Prejudice

"When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited, while he struggles to remain 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"--Book cover p. [4].

Orgoglio e pregiudizio

Antonio Marini

Un capolavoro intramontabile! "Orgoglio e pregiudizio" di Jane Austen si conferma come uno dei migliori classici di sempre. Sin dalle prime pagine, la storia mi ha coinvolto con il suo ritmo narrativo, mantenendomi incollato alle pagine per scoprire gli sviluppi delle relazioni e le evoluzioni dei personaggi. Jane Austen è riuscita a creare personaggi così vividi da far emergere un mix di emozioni nel lettore: gioia, rabbia, disprezzo e ammirazione. Questa profonda analisi dei sentimenti si accompagna a una lettura piacevole e scorrevole, rendendo il romanzo accessibile anche ai lettori meno esperti. "Orgoglio e pregiudizio" è un'esperienza coinvolgente che consiglio vivamente a tutti gli amanti della letteratura classica e non solo. Una lettura che rimarrà nel cuore e nella mente per molto tempo.

For use in schools and libraries only. In early nineteenth-century England, a spirited young woman copes with the suit of a snobbish gentleman, as well as the romantic entanglements of her four sisters.

Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever really read the book all the way through but I thoroughly enjoyed. I don’t feel like the movies do the story justice if we’re being honest.

Pride and Prejudice / Stolz und Vorurteil

I remember really enjoying the experience of reading it. But I don't know if I'd like it as much now. I think there are other female authors of the same period who wrote more thought provoking stories. But it is a great story and the writing was beautiful. ( Also +1/2 for the short chapters )

Absolute masterpiece! Jane Austen is truly a remarkable genius with utmost certainty. This book is extremely well written with great dialogues, well defined characteristics of different characters and tackles with many different and important social issues that one observes in day to day lives; even till this day. This book not only allows one to enjoy the entire fiasco, but also allows one to reflect upon their thought processes. 

Lastly, the title fits this novel perfectly, shows how its present in everyday lives of everyone. Now thats a classic.

Originally read back in High school.... Just working through my own thoughts here more than a review. Very hard to enjoy this book as much as I did when I first read it some 15 years ago. Suppose it has to do with my increasingly lack of fiction, my reliance on "coding" and "scripting" to make sense of things in my daily life, and sadly maybe the lack of romance in my life. I kepy thinking about Lizzy/Darcy and their comparison to Benedit/Beatrice. There is so little direct dialogue in this book compared to "Much Ado about Nothing". And this explains a lot of of my lack of interest in the former, and and strong interest in the later. While it's interesting to explore Elizabeth's inner ideas on custom, civilities, sisterhood, men, money and family, all of this is compounded in the grotesque use of indirect language. It's very easy in this book to skip over a major plot point without realizing it was embedded in a tiny paragraph. I just feel like so much of the book is about the mishaps of her sisters. And maybe it's my own bias, where I find it silly that such important matters of marriage take place over a series of locations, letters and frankly silly nonsense. Let me not me without joy. There is plenty in this book to enjoy. When I'm able to get into one of the grooves of the novel, and most interested in the interactions with Elizabeth an Darcy, it becomes a fascinating/fun book. This isn't to say the book is bad. I've really enjoyed the adaptations i've seen of book. And further I do love the dynamic of a proud man and recalcitrant woman, and them falling in love. You know, the screw the world, screw the family, because we care about our relationship than you all. Ahhh..romantic. Anyhow. Definately recommend everyone give Austen a read. I was spurred on to read this book after hearing the Slate Political Gabfest revisit the book in a recent podcast. Cheerio for now Austen...though something tells me I will need to finally read "Persuasion" soon.

Pride and prejudice.

i can literally hear Keira Knightley in every word Elizabeth says

THE Classic. It is truth usefully acknowledged that a man seeking a woman must aspire to the character of Mr. Darcy. His wealth helps .... edit | delete review

A perfect novel. One of my favourites. Every time I read it, I’m delighted anew by Austen’s characters and their idiosyncrasies. 

The character arcs are so satisfying, and the way the two main characters find their way towards falling in love is so beautifully realized and so relatable human.

I adore this book, dearly.

I GET WHY THIS IS A CLASSIC NOW. DARCY AND ELIZABETH 😍😍😍
