The measured life of the family is turned upside down when a young gentleman, Mr. Bingley, appears in the neighborhood. Among the friends of the new neighbor are many refined aristocrats who would not mind courting the charming sisters. The headstrong Elizabeth meets the handsome and arrogant Mr. Darcy. A serious confrontation flares up between them, the result of which can be either love or hate. Will they be able to overcome all disagreements and misunderstandings?
And yet, what is it that has been making readers laugh and cry, tremble with anger and rejoice for several centuries?
At first glance, Pride and Prejudice is a love story. However, it is also a funny comedy, a coming-of-age story, social criticism, and a philosophical parable. The novel is extremely witty. Subtle humor and an elegant style of presentation do not allow it to lose its inimitable charm and brilliance. Numerous dramatic twists do not allow you to tear yourself away from reading. In addition, each page is imbued with the spirit of England. With incredible irony and amazing observation, Jane Austen describes the life of provincial society, the peculiarities of etiquette and manners. With great skill of a true artist, she reveals the spiritual life of the characters, peers into the reasons and motives. Watching how the character changes under the influence of certain events is incredibly exciting.
