Synopsis "Pride and Prejudice (Mint Editions)"

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice has been hailed as one of the most popular romantic novels in English literature. From tangled love affairs and heart-breaking betrayals, Pride and Prejudice is the story of an unexpected love affair that leaves the entire town buzzing. Brimming with gossip and guile, see why the love story between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy has withstood the test of time. Mrs. Bennet's only hope in raising five daughters is that they will each find a husband who can provide for them a happy, and financially secure life. When word travels to the family that the neighborhood's newly arrived and most handsome man, Mr. Bingley, is a bachelor, Elizabeth never expects to find herself tangled in the web of drama he seems to create. Distancing herself from the other girls vying for his attention, Elizabeth knows what she wants, and it is not Mr. Bingley. But what she doesn't expect is the attraction that ensues after meeting the haughty Mr. Darcy, who she quickly realizes is not at all what he appears. When the chemistry between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy proves undeniable, she must cast aside her judgments--and her family's protests-- and let fate do the rest. Smart, outspoken, and adamant in her views, Elizabeth must come to accept that sometimes love has an agenda of its own. With an eye-catching new cover, and a cleanly typeset manuscript, this revised edition of Pride and Prejudice is both modern, and readable.

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
