Summary

Originally published in 1813, 'Pride and Prejudice' has been a favourite of literature readers for more than two centuries. Set in turn-of-the-19th-century England, the story largely takes place in the beautiful London countryside. The narrative centres on Elizabeth Bennet, one of the five unmarried daughters of a high-class country gentleman, as she struggles with common moral and social issues for young women associated with England's landed gentry class. At a lavish ball, Elizabeth's eldest and most beautiful sister, Jane, is introduced to the rich, eligible, new resident, Mr. Bingley, who quickly takes a liking to her. All the while, Mr. Bingley's seemingly arrogant friend Darcy refuses to dance with Elizabeth, despite her immeasurable wit and charm. But, like all great love stories, things change.
