Part of a beautiful collection of hardcover classics, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith.
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 the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.
Jane Austen
Jane Austen (1775-1817) was een Engelse romanschrijver die vooral bekend staat om haar werken die zich afspelen in de Engelse gentryklasse in de late 18e en vroege 19e eeuw. Haar werken, waaronder 'Sense and Sensibility', 'Pride and Prejudice' en 'Emma', zijn bekend om hun scherpe observaties van de maatschappij, de menselijke natuur en de sociale conventies van haar tijd.
