Austen, Jane. Pride and Prejudice. Edited with an Introduction by Tony Tanner. Middlesex, Penguin Books, 1983. 11 x 18cm. 399 pages. Original softcover. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear and age darkening to edges. From the library of swiss – american – irish poet Chuck Kruger. [The Penguin English Library].
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life. [Penguin Books] Keywords: Chuck Kruger Cape Clear Collection, English Authors, English Literature, Literature, Literature of the 19th Century |
