Pride and Prejudice

Good

Pride and Prejudice is a great classic and my most favorite from the Jane Austen novels.Penguin English Library editions are always good editions with beautiful covers. I just wished the paperback was sturdy enough, as my copy of the book arrived with folds and creases.

Love the book cover and came super quickly

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” The iconic opening line that got me hooked.Pride and Prejudice is a masterpiece I first read when I was 15 , It was a battered copy I had picked up from a second hand shop. "Love at first line" is how I would describe it, and so began my love for classics. Now years later, I bought this beautiful vintage classics edition and read it for the upteenth time.Mr. Bennet is the father of five daughters living on a modest income, he is married to Mrs. Bennet whose only goal in life is to get her daughters married . She finds her prayers answered when a young bachelor, a Mr. Bingley comes in their neighbourhood with his sisters and a friend Mr. Darcy and so the story begins.This book made a big impact on me when I first read it, it deals with marriage for love vs money, class differences, self evolution of both the male and female protagonist.The characters are written in a very realistic manner , Our heroine is flawed, prejudiced but strong. Elizabeth Bennet is no doormat, she will not marry for comfort and monetary gains but for love. Mr. Darcy had to be my first fictional crush, an epitome of the strong and silent men. Jane Austen immortalized both of them.The book being published in 1813 is a bit difficult to read for anyone starting on classics but I would urge the reader to give the book some time and it would be worth it.

Well it's a classic and my most favourite !! So had to get this in the leather bound edition.If you looking for a leather bound edition this is perfect and if it's not in stock, contact the seller and they'll surely help you out and they are very good!!

On a practical side this is not the sort of book you can put in bag and take with you. It is very large (8 1/2 by 11 inches. Each page has three column of print. The print is quite small. I think I will send it back. I now have a copy of Pride and Prejudice on kindle on my phone. I am so enjoying reading it. I love the language of that time. Sense and Sensibility next :)

Oddest book printing I've seen. For some reason it's very thin, about A4 sized, and printed with each page having 3 columns. I bought it to be a gift, but can't imagine giving this to someone.

I bought this for my grand daughter. Fortunately I had a good look through it and discovered that the printing of the last half of the book had faint or non existent type as the paper reached inside edges. It was extremely disappointing. I had to have a hurried search for another publisher and found something much better which arrived just in time for Christmas. I think I was tempted by the low price of the faulty book. Never again.
