JANE AUSTEN - GEBRAUCHT PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (PE...

Austen's most popular novel  the unforgettable story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.
Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read  Few have
failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet in Austen's
beloved classic Pride and Prejudice. 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
us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships  gossip and
snobberies of provincial middle-class life. This Penguin Classics edition  based on Austen's
first edition  contains the original Penguin Classics introduction by Tony Tanner and an
updated introduction and notes by Viven Jones.  For more than seventy years  Penguin has been
