Pride And Prejudice
SYNOPSIS
Pride and Prejudice , one of the most famous love stories of all time, has also proven itself as a treasured mainstay of the English literary canon. With the arrival of eligible young men in their neighbourhood, the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and their five daughters are turned inside out and upside down. Pride encounters prejudice, upward-mobility confronts social disdain, and quick-wittedness challenges sagacity. Misconceptions and hasty judgements bring heartache and scandal, but eventually lead to true understanding, self-knowledge, and love.
It's almost impossible to open Pride and Prejudice without feeling the pressure of so many readers having known and loved this novel already. Will you fail the test - or will you love it too? As a story that celebrates more unflinchingly than any of Austen's other novels the happy meeting-of-true-minds, and one that has attracted the most fans over the centuries, Pride and Prejudice sets up an echo chamber of good feelings in which romantic love and the love of reading amplify each other.

Obra Intemporal
Lizzy
Releitura desta obra intemporal, desta vez no original inglês, que só reforça a elegância e subtileza da escrita de Jane Austen. Esta edição da Oxford World’s Classics acrescenta um valor especial: a introdução contextualiza de forma clara o período, os temas centrais e a receção crítica do romance, enquanto o glossário e as notas ajudam a esclarecer expressões, referências culturais e nuances linguísticas que enriquecem a leitura. Uma edição ideal tanto para quem lê Austen pela primeira vez como para quem regressa ao livro com um olhar mais atento.
