en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 mai 1992

Descoperim în paginile acestui roman o miză care transcende simpla curte amoroasă: lupta pentru integritate într-o lume guvernată de aparențe și necesități economice. Putem afirma că Elizabeth Bennet nu este doar o eroină de epocă, ci vocea rațiunii care chestionează rigiditatea unei societăți unde căsătoria este, de cele mai multe ori, o tranzacție. Tensiunea psihologică se construiește nu prin gesturi grandioase, ci prin dialoguri sclipitoare și observații tăioase asupra caracterului uman. Considerăm că ritmul narațiunii este dictat de duelul intelectual dintre Elizabeth și Mr. Darcy, unde mândria unuia și prejudecata celeilalte creează un obstacol aproape insurmontabil în calea recunoașterii afinității lor reale. Stilul are ceva din precizia chirurgicală a observației din Emma, fără să fie o imitație — dacă în Emma accentul cade pe auto-amăgire și maturizarea unei tinere răsfățate, aici Jane Austen se concentrează pe demnitatea intelectuală în fața snobismului. În contextul operei sale, această lucrare rafinează temele explorate în Sense and Sensibility, transformând dihotomia dintre rațiune și sentiment într-o analiză mult mai subtilă a moralității și educației. Nu este doar o comedie de moravuri, ci o cronică a transformării interioare, unde personajele învață să privească dincolo de „primele impresii” pentru a descoperi valoarea autentică a celuilalt.

Firru . a dat nota:

Well, I finally finished this classic novel, by Jane Austen, set in the 18th century, and I have to say it was worth all the time I took to read it. I absolutely loved the main characters, the humor, and most of all the romance. I watched the movie and loved it also, but the book is much more detailed and descriptive. Definitely a favorite! I highly recommend it to everyone. You won't regret reading this one.

Despre autor

Jane Austen (1775–1817) a fost o romancieră engleză a cărei operă a marcat tranziția către realismul literar al secolului al XIX-lea. Deși în timpul vieții a publicat anonim titluri precum Sense and Sensibility sau Pride and Prejudice, obținând un succes modest, astăzi este considerată una dintre cele mai influente voci ale literaturii engleze. Prin cele șase romane majore ale sale, Austen a analizat cu o ironie mușcătoare viața micii nobilimi rurale, punând accent pe dependența economică a femeilor și pe importanța integrității morale în alegerea partenerului de viață.


Textul de pe ultima copertă

Of all Jane Austen's books, Pride and Prejudice has earned a special place in the hearts of the reading public as her best-loved and most intimately known novel. From its famous opening sentence the story of the Bennet family and of the novel's two protagonists, Elizabeth and Darcy, told with a wit that its author feared might prove 'rather too light and bright, and sparkling', delights its most familiar readers as thoroughly as it does those who encounter it for the first time. Jane Austen's artistry is apparent, too, in the delineation of the minor characters: the ill-matched Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, Charles Bingley and his sisters, and above all the fatuous Mr. Collins, whose proposal to Elizabeth Bennet is one of the finest comic passages in English literature. And while she entertains us, Jane Austen teaches us the wisdom of balance, the folly of 'pride' and 'prejudice'.


Descriere

"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 perfect comedy of manners--one of the most popular novels of all time--that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. "Pride and Prejudice seems as vital today as ever, " writes Anna Quindlen in her introduction to this Modern Library edition. "It is a pure joy to read." Eudora Welty agrees: "The gaiety is unextinguished, the irony has kept its bite, the reasoning is still sweet, the sparkle undiminished. [It is] irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be."
This volume is the companion to the BBC television series, a lavish production aired on the Arts and Entertainment Network.
The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foun-dation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hard-bound editions of important works of liter-ature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torchbearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inau-gurating a new program of selecting titles. The ModernLibrary continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.


Descriere scurtă

Pride and Prejudice, which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is an ironic novel of manners. In it the garrulous and empty-headed Mrs Bennet has only one aim - that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters. In this she is mocked by her cynical and indolent husband.

Notă biografică

Jane Austen (1775 - 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favorable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. With the publications of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1815), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1818 and began a third, eventually titled Sanditon, but died before its completion. Her novels have rarely been out of print, although they were published anonymously and brought her little fame during her lifetime. A significant transition in her posthumous reputation occurred in 1869, fifty-two years after her death, when her nephew's publication of A Memoir of Jane Austen introduced her to a wider audience. Austen has inspired a large number of critical essays and literary anthologies. Her novels have inspired many films, from 1940's Pride and Prejudice to more recent productions: Sense and Sensibility (1995) and Love & Friendship (2016). Jane Austen's use of biting irony, along with her realism and social commentary have earned her great and historical importance to critics and scholars.
