Orgullo y prejuicio (Pride and Prejudice) » (Spanish-language Edition)

Jane Austen's delightful, carefully wrought novels of manners remain surprisingly relevant, nearly 200 years after they were first published. Her novels -- Pride and Prejudice and Emma among them -- are those rare books that offer us a glimpse at the mores of a specific period while addressing the complexities of love, honor, and responsibility that still intrigue us today.

Set in class-conscious England at the end of the 18th century, this handsome, limited edition revives the classic, humorous story of love and misunderstanding between the spirited and opinionated Elizabeth Bennet and the ever-so-proud Mr. Darcy. One of Jane Austen's most beloved novels, this story explores the search for marriage among its young characters, and the necessity of putting aside both pride and prejudice in order to find an appropriate mate. Within every page of text and moment of dialogue, Austen's characteristic social satire provides cutting observations of the customs of the English class system, and the way that the search for a partner at that time was inextricable from the need to secure a certain social and economic status. Reflejando las costumbres de la clase media rural inglesa al fin del siglo 28, esta bella edición limitada reanima el divertido cuento clásico de amor y malas interpretaciones entre la animada y terca Elizabeth Bennet y siempre orgulloso señor Darcy. Una de las obras más reconocidas de Jane Austen, la novela desarrolla el tema de cómo las jóvenes buscan el marido apropiado y cómo necesitan dejar a un lado su orgullo y sus prejuicios. Es una novela realista, con cierto aire de comedia o sátira social donde quedan reflejadas las costumbres de las clases medias, rurales e inglesas y se trata el tema del matrimonio y de las consecuencias que puede traer consigo a casarse para conseguir una determinada posición social o sólo por atracción física.
