Pride and Prejudice: With 10 Illustrations and a Free Audio Link.

Pride and Prejudice is a novel of manners by Jane Austen. It was first published in 1813. The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the early 19th-century England. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London.

Elizabeth Bennet is the perfect Austen heroine. She is intelligent, generous, sensible, and incapable of jealousy or any major sin. Although that does make her sound like an insufferable sanctimonious woman, the truth is she's a completely loveable character who, if provoked, is not above skewering her antagonist with a piece of her exceptionally sharp, yet always polite, early 19th-century wit. The real point of the book though, the critical question which will keep you fixated throughout, is: will Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy hook up? Read this genuine all-time classic and discover the answer while enjoying a story that has charmed generation after generation.

Though the story is set at the turn of the 19th century, it retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top of lists of "most loved books." It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature and receives considerable attention from literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and stories imitating Austen's memorable characters or themes. To date, the book has sold over 20 million copies worldwide.
