Description: Austen's comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of 18-century drawing-room intrigues. Reissue.
From the Publisher: For over 150 years, Pride And Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen herself called this brilliant work her "own darling child." Pride And Prejudice, the story of Mrs. Bennet's attempts to marry off her five daughters is one of the best-loved and most enduring classics in English literature. Excitement fizzes through the Bennet household at Longbourn in Hertfordshire when young, eligible Mr. Charles Bingley rents the fine house nearby. He may have sisters, but he also has male friends, and one of these -- the haughty, and even wealthier, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy -- irks the vivacious Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the Bennet girls. She annoys him. Which is how we know they must one day marry. The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and Darcy is a splendid rendition of civilized sparring. As the characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, Jane Austen's radiantly caustic wit and keen observation sparkle.

A book that I thought that I should start reading some clasical litrature. A sharp and witty comedy of manners played out in early 19th Century English society, a world in which men held virtually all the power and women were required to negotiate mine-fields of social status, respectability, wealth, love, and sex in order to marry both to their own liking and to the advantage of their family. Flawless prose, crackling wit, good drama, fully developed characters and a perfect plotline make this the best novel in the English language.

I LOVE this book. I've wanted to read it for years but always talked myself out of it with something else getting in the way (Terry Pratchet you are evil) I am so glad that I finally read Pride and Prejudice.
It's one of those books that everyone knows the story of without ever knowing that they know it, it's beautiful, it's funny, it's clever, and it leaves you totally satisfied and appreciative of love and a good book.
What could be better?

Thank you to Ababaigalit for her very kind gift, I'll be realeasing the book soon to a friend who I know will love it as much as I did...
