The most celebrated novel by the English writer Jane Austen, published in more than 20 million copies worldwide, presented here in its original English-language edition. One of the finest love stories ever written, the novel masterfully captures the atmosphere of Regency England, the emotional contradictions of its characters, and Austen’s sharp wit and irony.Austen began writing the novel, originally titled First Impressions, when she was just twenty-one. For fourteen years, publishers showed little interest in the manuscript, recognising her literary talent only after the success of Sense and Sensibility. Since then, the story of the proud Mr Darcy and the intelligent, spirited Elizabeth Bennet has inspired countless readers, writers, and filmmakers around the world.Perfect for lovers of classic literature, romantics, collectors, and anyone who enjoys reading books in the original English.
