In the English countryside, Mrs Bennet has only one idea: to marry off her five daughters. The arrival of Mr Bingley, a rich young man, in the neighbourhood delights her, but his friend Mr Darcy is cold and proud from the very first ball. Elizabeth, the second of the sisters, lively and teasing, takes an instant dislike to him.
Its witty exchanges and amused eye on families and marriages make it one of the best loved comedies in literature.
With the translation always in front of you, Jane Austen's elegant, ironic style is a pleasure to read in the language you are learning.
