Purchase options and add-ons

When two rich young gentlemen move to town, they don't go unnoticed - especially when Mrs Bennett vows to have one of her five daughters marry into their fortunes. But love, as Jane and Elizabeth Bennett soon discover, is rarely straightforward, and often surprising. It's only a matter of time until their own small worlds are turned upside down and they discover that first impressions can be the most misleading of all.
With a behind-the-scenes journey, including an author profile, a guide to who's who, activities and more.
Lightly abridged for Puffin Classics.

About the Author

Jane Austen, the daughter of a clergyman, was born in Hampshire in 1775, and later lived in Bath and the village of Chawton. As a child and teenager, she wrote brilliantly witty stories for her family's amusement, as well as a novella, Lady Susan. Her first published novel was Sense and Sensibility, which appeared in 1811 and was soon followed by Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma. Austen died in 1817, and Persuasion and Northanger Abbey were published posthumously in 1818.

Jane Austen

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817. As a girl Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were only published after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma(1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.

A Timeless Classic: Pride and Prejudice (Gift Classics)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 November 2023

Verified Purchase

Pride and Prejudice, in its enchanting and beautifully designed edition, is an absolute gem that belongs in every book lover's collection. The elegance of this version, aptly titled Gift Classics, is apparent from the moment you lay eyes upon it.

This book is a literary masterpiece by Jane Austen, and Gift Classics has paid homage to its brilliance with a stunning cover art, reminiscent of the Regency era in which the story is set. The detailing, embossed gold lettering, and carefully chosen font create an unparalleled aesthetic that instantly captivates.

Beyond its visual appeal, this edition of Pride and Prejudice proudly upholds the essence of Austen's work. The pages are of exceptional quality, thick and crisp, ensuring a smooth reading experience. The font is well-sized and easy on the eyes, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the world of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy without any distractions.

One delightful aspect of this edition is the inclusion of insightful annotations and footnotes, which shed light on the era, language, and historical context woven into the story. These explanations enrich the reading experience, making the dialogue and societal norms of Austen's time more accessible and relatable.

Gift Classics' meticulous attention to detail extends to the binding, which is sturdy and built to last. This is a book that can withstand multiple readings, a true heirloom to be passed down through generations.

As a classic that has been adapted countless times into various media forms, Pride and Prejudice continues to captivate and enchant readers with its timeless characters and the exploration of love, identity, and class divisions. Gift Classics has truly done justice to this beloved novel, presenting it with utmost respect and care.

Whether you are a devoted Austen fan or a newcomer to her works, Pride and Prejudice (Gift Classics) is a treasure that will adorn your bookshelf and provide endless joy in revisiting or discovering Jane Austen's world.

A book I never tire of.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 November 2023

I was introduced to "Pride and Prejudice" around 46 years ago as one of the set books for my "O" level English literature exam. Normally, my reading is more along the lines of non-fiction, scientific and instructional books, however my introduction to Jane Austen was a real step forward. I went on to read all of her works, along with other writers such as the Bronte sisters, Thomas Hardy etc. I haven't found many modern writers as interesting, I prefer the insights into the minds of the more traditional writers, along with the different styles of writing. It's also of interest with regards to the social institutions and attitudes of the times. Probably why I studied Sociology alongside my science subjects in later years. Oh, and Elizabeth Bennet is still one of my heroines! I would highly recommend reading this book, it's good to see how life (albeit of the middle classes) and attitudes have changed in two hundred years - and I'd love to see our modern teens cope with the social restrictions of those times!

The Man From DelMonte

A classic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 October 2020

Verified Purchase

I first attempted this book when I was much younger and desired to ‘improve’ my education. The prose style defeated me and I gave up after a few chapters. What’s helped in the intervening years is viewing the adaptations on screen. That’s helped me navigate the plot without having to tease apart the text.
I laughed aloud at some points which I found surprising as the writing is as dense as it always was. It is palpably a novel from another age and some of its sentiments are quite at odds with modern thinking.
One of the aspects which I find hard to reconcile is that these are all rich people by the standards of the time. To translate their standards of living into the current era is quite eye watering. Servants, an independent income etc.
The underlying logic is very hard nosed and the oft quoted opening lines state it precisely.
It’s still a hard book to read.

El libro es pequeño, pero cómodo para llevar en bolso, es preciosa la edicion, los detalles, la letra pequeña pero se lee bien. Se ve de excelente calidad el libro. El único detalle y que no me gustó es la elección de papel, es muy blanco y con el contraste de las letras, llega a ser un tanto molesto, a diferencia de otros tipos de papel. Aún así recomiendo mucho esta colección de clásicos.

O Amor Na Era Georgiana

Reviewed in Brazil on 17 July 2021

Verified Purchase

Sem dúvida, Orgulho e Preconceito está entre as historias de amor mais populares da literatura e a receita do seu relevante e longevo sucesso não é nenhum mistério. Se por um lado, ele cumpre à risca “as regras tácitas dos romances populares voltados para um público feminino, isto é, a assimetria social e econômica entre o casal protagonista, bem como os desencontros e o sofrimento da mocinha da história e seu inevitável final feliz”(1); por outro, sua história é narrada por uma soberba escritora, à medida que a inglesa Jane Austen é uma sagaz testemunha de seu tempo, a Era Georgiana, uma hábil construtora de personagens esféricos e uma mestra do discurso indireto livre, conduzido por um narrador onisciente, que não faz parte da história e é dotado de uma sutil ironia.

O romance tem como cenário a zona rural da Inglaterra durante o início do século XIX e gira ao redor da família Bennet, constituída pelo marido, mulher e cinco filhas. A segunda, Elizabeth ou Lizzie, é a protagonista, uma jovem decidida a tomar as rédeas de sua vida e só se casar por amor numa época em que “o casamento era baseado em cálculos racionais e econômicos”. Seu par romântico é o abonado sr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, aparentemente um improvável candidato, pois se a relação entre eles é marcada pela atração, também é pela hostilidade que só será superada, se o casal abdicar do orgulho e preconceito.

Aliás, características que não são exclusivas de um ou de outro mas dos dois, confirmando a apropriada escolha do título. Como afirma Bruna Vieira, o romance foi um convite para ela pensar sobre os sentimentos que cultiva para se proteger, mas acabam por afastá-la do que lhe pode fazer feliz.” Uma interessante reflexão que vale para todos nós.

Na verdade, “Austen exige leitores inteligentes e seria um equívoco ler seus romances de costumes como histórias românticas ou escapistas, só porque tratam de amor e casamento. Seu conteúdo crítico e agudeza se mantiveram afiados, não perderam o frescor e ainda hoje nos permitem espiar pelas frestas do tempo e aprender com suas histórias.”(2)

Uma boa prova é “o tamanho da presença da romancista na cultura pop que, com sua persistência, impressiona. As adaptações para o cinema, televisão e internet são incontáveis, e um passeio por sites de vendas online mostra que todo tipo de item, de velas a chá, de meias a livros de receitas, é vendido com a marca da escritora. Seu nome se tornou sinônimo de um universo com o qual muitas de suas leitoras sonham: o mundo das mansões inglesas, vestidos de época e chás da tarde. A discreta revolução da escritora, ao transformar mulheres de objetos em sujeitos, permitiu que esse mundo se tornasse um universo de sonho e romance, em vez de um mundo que oprime mulheres.”(3)

Quanto ao formato, adquiri o e-book que não possui Fortuna Crítica nem Notas de Rodapé. Possui apenas o texto de Austen bem diagramado e sem erros. Pelo preço que paguei, menos do que um café, foi uma boa compra. Recomendo.

Boa Leitura!

Nota:
