Early nineteenth-century English country society, as seen through the clear and amused eyes of Jane Aus- ten, is not very different from society today. Mothers are determined that their daughters should marry well, daughters are determined to do what they wish, and fathers retire to their studies until the confusion is over and it is time to march down the aisle. Foolishness, pomposity, pride, and prejudice, are as rampant today as they were in 1813 when the book first appeared. But because Miss Austen was witty and wise she turned these foibles, comical and dangerous, into material for a work of art and presented, through the little landscape of the English countryside, the larger landscape of human nature.
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.
