One of six new delightful and collectible hardback editions from Penguin Classics, publishing to celebrate Jane Austen's 250th anniversary
'No sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes ... '
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

Especificaciones del producto
Escrito por Jane Austen
Jane Austen (1775-1817) fue una novelista inglesa cuya habilidad para dotar de comicidad a sus historias hace que sus novelas, muy románticas, hayan acabado por convertirse en clásicos de la literatura inglesa y alcanzado a un público amplio, que va mucho más allá del académico. Escribió seis novelas (Sentido y sensibilidad, Orgullo y prejuicio, Mansfield Park, Emma, Persuasión y La abadía de Northanger), diversos relatos cortos y algunas historias que quedaron inacabadas. En la actualidad su obra sigue siendo tanto o más popular de lo que lo fue en vida de la autora.
