A timeless classic that everyone has to read. The Bennet family struggled against a property entailment that obliged Mrs. and Mr. Bennet to search for good marriages for their five daughters. One of them, Elisabeth, was a woman who did not conceal her emotions and that did not submit herself to the limitations a woman's life had in the Regency period. Elisabeth met the wealthy and proud Mr. Darcy who was not used to speak with those he did not know. But even Mr. Darcy could not avoid appreciating what pleasure “a pair of fine eyes” can give. And those eyes belonged to Elisabeth.However, this is not just a love story on how Darcy and Elisabeth grow to understand and love each other overcoming their pride and prejudices. In the book there are: many layers to ponder on and revisit, memorable and believable characters and a fascinating analysis of the society.Charming, funny, satirical, Jane Austen writes in ways that delight on every rereading. This is a large print edition on a cream colored paper with some illustrations by Thomson Hugh.
