PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (BARNES & NOBLE COLLECTIBLE...

"It is a truth universally acknowledged  that a single man in possession of a good fortune 
must be in want of a wife." So begins Pride and Prejudice   Jane Austen's classic novel of
manners and mores in early-nineteenth-century England. As the Bennets prepare their five grown
daughters to enter into society  each shows personality traits that illuminate their future
prospects as wives. Jane  the oldest  is the most demure and traditional  and Lydia  the
youngest  the most headstrong and impulsive. Attention centers on haughty second-born Elizabeth
and her blossoming relationship with the dashing but aloof Fitzwilliam Darcy. Adversaries at
first in the endless rounds of balls  parties  and social gatherings  they soon develop a
grudging respect for one another that blossoms into romance when each comes to appreciate the
tender feelings that course beneath the veneer of their propriety and reserve.     First
published in 1813   Pride and Prejudice is one of the most popular novels in English literature
and a cornerstone of Jane Austen's reputation as one of the greatest novelists of all time.
