Brilliant books in the original language
Pride and Prejudice is a beloved story about social expectations, misunderstandings, and love. With a blend of irony and subtle humor, Austen narrates the evolving relationship between Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy, who initially hide their true feelings behind pride and prejudice. As they misjudge, challenge, and transform each other, the novel explores the quest for happiness and self-discovery within a society of rigid social norms. A timeless romantic tale and Austen?s probably most popular work.
