Pride and Prejudice Summary
|
Pride and Prejudice -- Adobe PDF ebook. Jane Austen's classic work chronicling the romantic relationship between Elizabeth and her boyfriend Mr. Darcy. |
|
|
| It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. "My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?" |
|
|
| Jane Austen's perfect 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 eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. "Pride and Prejudice seems as vital today as ever," writes Anna Quindlen in her introduction to this Modern Library edition. "It is a pure joy to read." Eudora Welty agrees: "The gaiety is unextinguished, the irony has kept its bite, the reasoning is still sweet, the sparkle undiminished. [It is] irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be." |
|
|
| It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a wife. |
|
|
| Early nineteenth century English society imposed many requirements for a successful life. Women, to maintain a comfortable economic condition, needed to make the conventions of class and wealth important when they came of marrying age. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett had five daughters to present before whatever eligibly prosperous men were available. This story centers on the Bennetts' daughter Elizabeth who will be most resistant to any financially stable marriage which has no room for romance. Because Elizabeth has her sights set on happiness, she employs her intelligence and quick response to keep an edge on suitors like Mr. Collins whose overdone manner combined with unassertive demands make him totally undesirable. Elizabeth is sure of her ability to accurately judge the quality of others. But Elizabeth meets Mr. Darcy who is rich and aristocratic. He becomes a rather unwelcome presence in her life even though he is a close friend of her sister's beau. Elizabeth mistakenly believes that Darcy has a disagreeable tendency to hate everyone, but the longer she knows him she is shown through event and example how generous and capable he is. The novel becomes a discovery of true love as Darcy and Elizabeth reconcile the conceits of prejudice and pride that had hidden the possibility of pleasure. Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher. The Microsoft eBook has a contents page linked to the chapter headings for easy navigation. The Adobe eBook has bookmarks at chapter headings and is printable up to two full copies per year. Both versions are text searchable. |

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." Through this satirical opening line in Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice, the author provides us with a glimpse of and into her keen wit and exquisite sense of humor. A comedy-drama of manners, the story - set in late-eighteenth-century England - deals cleverly and artfully with the societal prescriptions of the day... |

| 'I shall never regret doing as I have - never, if I starve or beg in consequence' When Nicholas Nickleby is left penniless after his father's death, he appeals to his wealthy uncle to help him find work and to protect his mother and sister. But Ralph Nickleby proves both hard-hearted and unscrupulous, and Nicholas finds himself forced to make his own way in the world. Nicholas's adventures gave Dickens the opportunity to portray a extraordinary gallery of rogues and eccentrics: Wackford Squeers, tyrannical headmaster of Dotheboys Hall, a school for unwanted boys; the slow-witted orphan Smike, rescued by Nicholas; and the gloriously theatrical Mr and Mrs Crummle, and their daughter, the 'infant phenomenon'. Like many of Dickens's novels, Nicholas Nickleby is characterized by his outrage at cruelty and social injustice, but it is also a flamboyantly exuberant work, revealing Dickens's comic genius at its most unerring. Mark Ford's introduction compares Nicholas Nickleby to eighteenth-century picaresque novels, and examines Dickens's criticism of the 'Yorkshire Schools', his social satire and use of language. This edition also includes the original illustrations by 'Phiz', a chronology and a list for further reading. |

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's perfect comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--that 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 eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. "Pride and Prejudice seems as vital today as ever," writes Anna Quindlen in her introduction to this Modern Library edition. "It is a pure joy to read." Eudora Welty agrees: "The gaiety is unextinguished, the irony has kept its bite, the reasoning is still sweet, the sparkle undiminished. [It is] irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be." This volume is the companion to the BBC television series, a lavish production aired on the Arts and Entertainment Network. |

|
| Elizabeth Bennet is the perfect Austen heroine: intelligent, generous, sensible, incapable of jealousy or any other major sin. That makes her sound like an insufferable goody-goody, but the truth is she's a completely hip character, who if provoked is not above skewering her antagonist with a piece of her exceptionally sharp -- but always polite -- 18th century wit. The point is, you spend the whole book absolutely fixated on the critical question: will Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy hook up? |
