Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

In a remote Hertfordshire village, far off the good coach roads of George III's England, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet -- a country squire of no great means and his scatterbrained wife -- must marry off their five vivacious daughters. At the heart of this all-consuming enterprise are the headstrong second daughter Elizabeth and her aristocratic suitor Fitzwilliam Darcy, two lovers in whom pride and prejudice must be overcome before love can bring the novel to its magnificent conclusion. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.


From Library Journal

Austen is the hot property of the entertainment world with new feature film versions of Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility on the silver screen and Pride and Prejudice hitting the TV airwaves on PBS. Such high visibility will inevitably draw renewed interest in the original source materials. These new Modern Library editions offer quality hardcovers at affordable prices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, Nov 15 2008
By SH (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pride And Prejudice Movie Tie In Edition (Paperback)
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is definitely a classic romance novel that everyone must read. It is beautifully written and kept me interested throughout. The descriptions made me feel like how the characters were feeling.

I had so many laughs while reading this, since Mrs. Bennet and Lydia are both loud and obnoxious, and make such foolish remarks. With so many of the characters and so much talk about the characters' dispostion, everyone can find a character to relate to, which is exactly what makes this novel a classic.

This novel is also educational, letting the reader know more about the strict customs in the 1700s. Jane Austen made the dull life in the 1700s seem so much more interesting with Elizabeth Bennet as the protagonist. Even after watching the Pride and Prejudice movie, the novel is extremely interesting to read, since there are a great number of parts that the movie could not cover, and some that it did cover were not the same as the book.

Pride and Prejudice is a story that revolves around Elizabeth Bennet, the second daughter of Mr. Bennet. With five sisters (Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia) that are all very unique, there is a great deal to tell. Mary and Kitty, however, are not spoken of very much throughout the novel. There are four men that you will learn more about and discover their role in the story: Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley, Mr. Wickham, and Mr. Collins.

I highly recommend everyone to read this classic romance novel that I am sure they will enjoy. Pride and Prejudice is definitely a novel that I plan to reread in the near future.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Timeless Classic, Oct 11 2009
By B. Breen "Canuckster1127" (Sterling, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Pride and Prejudice (Paperback)
This seems a somewhat redundant exercise reviewing a book that already stands as an English language classic and example of free indirect speech. Even if most people could not necessarily recount the plot and characters, the countless editions of the book, combined with movies and literary spinoffs stand in testimony to it as a cultural icon. There are not many who would not recognize the book by name and have some sense of its position and impact.

This review then cannot do much more than to echo these commonly known facts and direct attention specifically to the Kindle edition of the book which was downloaded as a free public domain book and which I confess, my first time reading the entire book as originally written. The strength of the book and timeless qualities of it can be affirmed by the attention that it elicited from me. I was able to enter into the plot and see both the masterful writing as well as the true insight into human nature that this book represents. Apart from a few typos and the chapters not being very well differentiated, I had little difficulty wanting to return to my Kindle to continue the read and glad for the experience.

This is one of the most appealing elements of the Kindle in my estimation. There are so many books in the public domain that provides an opportunity for the reader who has heard of and knows the place and importance of a particular book who can then download the book and take the opportunities during the day (and for me of a long commute) and fill the gaps in one's reading by pulling books that have stood the test of time as well as the convenience of the newer books that are available at a considerable discount over the new Hardback price.

What a pleasure to read and more yet to come in the days ahead.

5 Stars for the novel AND the medium!
