Orgoglio e pregiudizio

by Jane Austen, Isa Maranesi (Translator)

Overview

Pride and Prejudice è certamente l'opera più popolare e più famosa di Jane Austen, vero e proprio long-seller, ineccepibile per l'equilibrio della struttura narrativa e lo stile terso e smagliante, ed emblematica della cristallina precisione austeniana. Attraverso la storia delle cinque sorelle Bennet e dei loro corteggiatori, lo sguardo acuto della scrittrice, sorretto da un'ironia spietata e sottile, annota e analizza con suprema grazia fatti, incidenti, parole di un microcosmo popolato da struggenti personaggi femminili, sospesi tra l'ipocrisia della società inglese dell'epoca e la voglia di un amore romantico e senza compromessi.

About the Author

Jane Austen (1775–1817) was an English author known primarily for her six major novels set among the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Considered defining works of the Regency Era and counted among the best–loved classics of English literature, Austen's books include Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. The latter two were published after her death. "I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library." – Jane Austen
