Description
"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 Jane Austen’s most beloved novel, a sparkling comedy of manners set in the social hierarchy of Regency England. The story follows the spirited and independent Elizabeth Bennet as she navigates the pressures of her mother’s matchmaking and the rigid expectations of upper-class society. When she meets the wealthy but aloof Mr. Darcy, her quick judgment and his social pride spark a legendary battle of wits.
Through a series of misunderstandings, scandals, and unexpected revelations, Elizabeth and Darcy must confront their own prejudices to find a love that transcends status. A timeless masterpiece of satire and romance, Pride and Prejudice remains one of the most popular novels in the English language.
