Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. 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 the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships,gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

I expected something deeper/monumental, having known nothing about the book before. But for such an old book it is well written and the characters and love story are cute ☺️
Novela para leer con una taza del mejor té en la mano.
Perfecta para meternos de lleno en cómo era la nobleza inglesa de hace doscientos años, y las relaciones sociales desde el punto de vista de una mujer de la época.
Es verdaderamente increíble cómo te sumerge en la familia y sus problemas haciendo que te intereses por cada personaje y sus encuentros (Me encanta el personaje de Mr Bennet), deseando que llegue la siguiente carta o evento social que nos haga saber cómo avanza la trama por un mundo repleto de bailes, paseos, intrigas, malentendidos, críticas, buenas formas, hipocresía, orgullo y prejuicio.
