Captivating writing
Though written in a different Era, it is still so relatable. It’s interesting how the plot changes along with its protagonist!Variety of characters, habitual nature of small society where everyone knows everything about their neighbour’s which has its own advantages and disadvantages! So familiar and yet written in such a captivating manner that I had been up all night to read!

One of the best piece of literature !
Elizabeth Bennet, the third child of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet was a thoughtful and decisive girl who was quite resolute in her opinions. When the news came about the acquisition of Netherfield Park by Mr. Bingley, who probably earned more than four thousand a year, Mrs. Bennet couldn’t resist her desire of getting one of her daughters married with him. Mrs. Bennet was somehow obsessed with the marriage of her daughters, not only out of the worry of being a mother of five daughters, but also because of her insatiable hunger for money. After persistent coaxing, she made her husband obliged to fix a meeting with Mr. Bingley’s family on the prospect of making a marriage offer. And finally her efforts seems fruitful on seeing Mr. Bingley’s inclination for their elder daughter Jane Bennet.Elizabeth, who attended a ball organised by Bingley’s family was quite happy and relieved seeing Jane’s closeness with Mr. Bingley. They seem to enjoy each other’s company which was writ large on Jane’s face. On the ball night, Elizabeth got a chance to meet many people, who were close associates of Mr. Bingley. There only she met Fitzwilliam Darcy, the closest friend of Bingley. Her first encounter was though not so pleasant. Darcy, the sole owner of Perkerley estate in Derbyshire looked arrogant and boasty to her. She considered him as a conceited man with a very nasty behavior. All her beliefs came true when Darcy’s involvement in the break-up of her sister’s marriage got confirmed. Her detestation for him became more intense with each passing day.On the other hand, as their unplanned meetings increased, Darcy found himself in awe of Elizabeth’s intelligence and firmness. He inadvertently started appreciating her way of conduct. Without being cognisant of his feelings, he started altering his old ways of living, with a hope of grabbing Elizabeth’s attention. She,however, found herself struggling between her dislike for his disposition and her admiration for his assistance in Lydia’s matter. His participation in bringing out her family from the embarrassment that her youngest sister’s obnoxious act has created, has somehow impressed her and made her turn her despise into respect.Through this wonderfully written tale, Jane Austen has set up an example of admiration and love. This is a story about two persons whose indifferences, over a series of events, has swerved into a deep adoration. Darcy’s character was articulated in the finest manner. The revelation of his true nature was very impressive and unexpected at the same time. His character was portrayed as a sensible man with a clear conscience. Elizabeth’s was too described as a woman with a possession of knowledge. She was very determined in her choices and didn’t even hesitate to accept the mistakes done on her part.Apart from the protagonists, i like Mr. Bennet and Jane’s character too. The best part about Austen’s book was the preciseness with which a human character was described. She devoted a good time of amount in presenting the true tendencies of every character in the story. And not to forget, the smoothness with which the entire story was written. It was a very engrossing story which literally demands you full focus. Once entered into the elegance of the book, it’s really hard to quit or drop in between. Set up in eighteen century England, it is really a beautiful piece of literature which highlights the fluctuations in one’s pride and prejudice.

Exceedingly lovely and interesting!
I have always liked Jane Austen’s style of writing, her wit, her sarcasm, and most of all her characters (especially her protagonists). And Pride and Prejudice remains my favourite of all her works, though I love them all. There is immense character development in it, which is my favourite point. Also, I absolutely adore Lizzy’s father’s affection for her. I always consider this book to be most romantic.

Great story, although the language is very dense and archaic
“Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen is like a wild ride that needs a bit of patience to truly enjoy. At first, cracking open the book felt like wading through a jungle of unnecessary convoluted sentences and archaic language. The first half, with its focus on balls and parties, didn’t help either â it felt like waiting for something significant to happen. But just when you’re about to nod off, the introduction of characters like Mr. Collins and Wickham injects the narrative with a much-needed dose of intrigue and drama.What truly shines is the character of Elizabeth. She’s a woman ahead of her time, with her wit, intelligence, and independent spirit. Despite the linguistic barriers, I found myself rooting for her throughout the story’s twists and turns. Austen weaves a captivating tale of love, pride, and societal norms, and once you adapt to the language, the story grips you tightly.Plus, the family drama in “Pride and Prejudice” hits close to home. Elizabeth’s struggles with her family’s behavior, the dynamics between her parents and the challenges posed by her problematic sister mirror the complexities of real-life family relationships. “Pride and Prejudice” might demand some effort to overcome its linguistic challenges, but beneath the surface lies a timeless story that’ll stick with you long after you’ve closed the book.If I were to write this review in the same language as that used in the book, it would be something like this:Indeed, within the tomes of this esteemed work, a tale of grandeur unfolds; yet, at its inception, one encounters a formidable barrier, whereupon labyrinthine sentences and the archaic tongue of yesteryear present themselves, demanding fortitude from the reader’s resolve.

It is my opinion that this book should be read by everyone.There is so much to learn and enjoy in this book. Austen is an absolute master at writing human nature into characters on a page, this book is so chock full of insights into and lesson about the human nature itâs myriad follies, foibles, strength, weaknesses, proclivities, varieties, permutation, and evolution that it is almost double the worth of any anthropology textbook.Austen understands people, who they are, how they act, and what makes them tick, and she writes with this masterful understanding, the result are characters that are real, real in the sense that they very much reflect what people in real life really are and teaches in a way the most expert of lectures on anthropology simply couldnât not ever dream of doing.Do you want to better understand men and women, their inner workings, their emotions, their motivations, and their interaction with one another?

El libro es pequeño, pero cómodo para llevar en bolso, es preciosa la edicion, los detalles, la letra pequeña pero se lee bien. Se ve de excelente calidad el libro. El único detalle y que no me gustó es la elección de papel, es muy blanco y con el contraste de las letras, llega a ser un tanto molesto, a diferencia de otros tipos de papel. Aún asà recomiendo mucho esta colección de clásicos.
