Austen's most famous novel and a timeless classic. With skillful brilliance Austen exposes the hypocrisy and snobbery of various classes. She also introduces us to Elizabeth Bennet, one of English literature's most vivacious heroines. The gripping plot, amusing dialogues and entertaining situations make this novel a masterpiece. Simply marvellous!
Renowned British novelist, Austen's work is considered part of the Western canon. No other novelist has so concerned herself or himself with the trivial daily comedy of provincial family life. Her work is famous for its lucid and flowing prose style.

Work Description
Pride and Prejudice is an 1813 novel of manners written by Jane Austen. The novel follows the character development of Elizabeth Bennet, the dynamic protagonist of the book who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness.
Mr. Bennet, owner of the Longbourn estate in Hertfordshire, has five daughters, but his property is entailed and can only be passed to a male heir. His wife also lacks an inheritance, so his family faces becoming very poor upon his death. Thus, it is imperative that at least one of the girls marry well to support the others, which is a motivation that drives the plot.
