Pride and Prejudice
This is an exquisite leatherbound edition of Jane Austen’s classic novel of manners and mores. One of the most popular tales of romance in the English language, this volume features a satinribbon bookmark, distinctive stained edging and marbled endpapers. ‘It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife’. So begins “Pride and Prejudice”, Jane Austen’s classic novel of manners and mores in early nineteenth century England. Attention centres on haughty Elizabeth Bennet and the dashing but aloof Fitzwilliam Darcy. Adversaries at first in the endless rounds of balls, parties and social gatherings, they soon develop a grudging respect for one another that blossoms into romance when each comes to appreciate the tender feelings that course beneath the veneer of their propriety and reserve. First published in 1813, “Pride and Prejudice” is one of the most popular tales of romance in the English language and a cornerstone of Jane Austen’s reputation as one of the greatest novelists of all time. This exquisite collectible edition features an elegant bonded-leather binding, a satin-ribbon bookmark, distinctive stained edging, and decorative marbled endpapers. It’s the perfect gift for book-lovers and an artful addition to any home library.
