    About this audiobook

    Han dicho que las novelas de la inglesa Jane Austen son descripciones de la vida domestica, pero ellas van mas alla pues son una aguda critica de una sociedad en la que las diferencias de nacimiento crean prejuicios que separan a la gente.

    Jane Austen

    Jane Austen was born in 1775 in rural Hampshire, the daughter of an affluent village rector who encouraged her in her artistic pursuits. In novels such as Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma she developed her subtle analysis of contemporary life through depictions of the middle-classes in small towns. Her sharp wit and incisive portraits of ordinary people have given her novels enduring popularity. She died in 1817.

      It's been awhile since I reread this...so awesome. I think what I love best is how every interaction is so incredibly awkward and embarrassing, and what a big freak Darcy is.

      The most romantic novel ever written. If you enjoyed this, then please read the interesting re-telling "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". It is hilarious!
    • 5/5
      Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is one of my favorites. I confess I did not try any of her books until I was in my late twenties. Gone with the Wind was my friend Carolyn's favorite book when I was in junior high, while I was deeply ensconced in science fiction and fantasy at that time. Moreover, reading things like Wuthering Heights at that age for English class and not really getting it added to my avoidance of "girlie books."But eventually I relented, and Pride and Prejudice was the very first Austen story I tried. I loved it. I still do, and prefer it over her other stories. While all of them have charm and are generally well-written, in this one both hero and heroine are strong and intelligent, and both have human flaws and learn from their own mistakes. Emma certainly was a strong heroine, but in the end she realizes she's a foolish young girl and agrees to be guided by the hero. Likewise with some of the other stories, where the hero can do no wrong.Ms. Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy are both wonderful characters who only get better with rereading. This book also does an admirable job of showing a range of human character and all of the minutiae of polite society: the obsequious and venial cousin Mr. Collins, the charming and narcissistic Mr. Wickham, the arrogant Lady Catherine, Mr. Bingley so very easygoing and easily led, Charlotte Bennett who thinks only the best of people, the other Bennett sisters and Mrs. Bingley who display all of the stereotypical female faults that don't arise from malice, and Mr. Bennett whose only refuge from inanity and stupidity is to laugh or retreat. This book has not one romantic couple but two, and the course of their romances is quite different according to the personalities and impediments involved. All in all, a lovely story.

      Classic love story. Mostly of interest to girls. Language can get in the way of enjoying some of this novel but compelling story with great TV and movie adaptations.
    • 5/5
      A sharp and witty comedy that exposes the constraints and hardships facing women in polite 19th century society.

      A friend of mine gave me a copy of Pride and Prejudice a year ago. I had read other Austen novels for classes, but never this one. I started out a little slow with it because I was working my way through some of those detective novels I love so much.

      Then she told me a local theater company was putting on Pride and Prejudice! I had to rededicate myself to the novel so I would have it done in time for the play. Once I really got into it I loved it.

      Even though the characters are old fashioned and the book was written long ago when social conventions were different, I still found it easy to relate to the sisters. Seeing the play just cemented my renewed love of Jane Austen's storytelling.

      I was a bit disappointing with the book after seeing the wonderful movie.
    • 5/5
      A classic story about love and marriage and the barriers to both. The book shows the sometimes tragic and sometimes comical result of distorted "facts" when they are communicated by means of gossip. I adored Lizzy...a spunky, independent young woman who allows her prejudice to shadow her relationship with Darcy. Highly recommended read!
    • 5/5
      To me, this is the classic regency romance novel. The one on which all others are based. The one to which all others attempt to emulate. They simply don't get any better than this. Jane Austen has the advantage of being contemporary - thereby making the social mores of the time second nature to her. Elizabeth is a strong and witty woman who, while willing to challenge in some ways the social constraints of the time (she has no trouble confronting Lady Catherine, for instance, and refusing Mr. Collins), nevertheless, she is a woman of her time and does not step drastically outside her bounds. Darcy is possibly a more complex character than Lizzy - proud, yes, but also gentle, kind, and even shy, orphaned young and given the care of a young sister. There is very little I can say about this book that has not already been said - so I won't try. :) But this is an excellent book; a true star of its genre.
    • 5/5
      "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." It is also a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen has crafted one of the best love stories ever written. The dialogue is sparkling and the humour witty. It provides an insightful commentary on the early 19th century marriage market.
    • 5/5
      I love absolutely everything about this book. I love the style it is written with, and I love the story. I love how much Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy's characters develop. Every time I read this book I love it more than I did before...and that's saying something, because it's been my favorite book since the first time I read it.

      I did it!!! I made it through a book that I thought I never would. It took watching the 1995 TV adaptation to really get me in the right mindset to enjoy it, but once I got into it I found myself really enjoying the prose.

      This is one of those books where knowing the entire plot doesn't spoil the fun of reading it. You read it because the prose is beautiful, because the lines are sharp and witty, and because (I assume) that no matter how many times you read it there will always be something new to pick out of the great detail that is provided. I flipped between this edition and the annotated version which actually heightened my enjoyment of the book. Getting some historical context as well as some explanation about the antiquated definitions of some of the words she frequently uses helped to alleviate the confusion that has kept me away for so long.

      By being born in the modern era, and in the United States, I have never experienced the dilemma that Jane Austen, or her characters faced, when it comes to the future. In Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet watches as her mother desperately tries to marry off herself, and her sisters. In the time of the 1800’s it was important to marry into wealth and comfort, so that a future and security would be available to the family. Those are worries that I will never truly have to face, and reading about the lives of the Bennets, and those around them, gives me an idea of what those worries can do to a person. Elizabeth Bennet, the second oldest of five daughters, is the focus of the story and she witnesses the effects that love has on her sisters, her family, friends and herself. When introduced to the bachelor, Mr. Bingley, she meets the beginning of her story, Mr. Darcy. When the first impression of each other does not go as well as planned, the story begins, and the plot thickens, when new characters are thrown into the equation, and truths are uncovered and lies are told. Even with those, we all get our happy endings eventually, even if it surprises ourselves, others, or even makes someone a believer. Mr. Darcy is a friend of the bachelor, Mr. Bingley, who makes a horrible first impression on our heroine. His character does not only have an effect upon Elizabeth, but her older sister Jane, when his opinion plays part in the choices of Mr. Bingley, who has fallen for Ms. Jane Bennet. Though there are many secondary characters that have a huge effect on the main characters, not all of those who play part can be listed, for lack of room. Though all of the characters that have been used in a way that was carefully planned and beautifully executed, not all of them can be given the credit they deserve, though they all had the effects that were necessary to set up the story. Jane Austen uses her characters and all of their situations to show different themes, including the idea of love, marriage, family, pride, prejudice, and many others. The complications between the two older sisters and the two men who have captured their hearts demonstrates Austen’s ideas on love through the complicated events that occur during the time that they all know each other. The idea of marriage is shown through the argument that Elizabeth’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet always seem to have; the importance of marriage, into wealth and comfort, or for true love. The importance of family is shown through the close relationship between Elizabeth and Jane, especially when Jane falls ill, and Elizabeth walks miles to see her, and take care of her. “Elizabeth continued her walk alone, crossing field after field at a quick pace, jumping over stiles and springing over puddles with impatient activity, and finding herself at last within view of the house, with weary ancles, dirty stockings, and a face glowing with the warmth of exercise. She was shewn into the breakfast-parlour, where all but Jane were assembled, and where her appearance created a great deal of surprise. -- That she should have walked three miles so early in the day, in such dirty weather, and by herself, was almost incredible to Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley; and Elizabeth was convinced that they held her in contempt for it” (Austen chapter 7). The fact that Elizabeth was dedicated enough to her sister to do that shows real love that a family, or siblings, should have. The idea of pride, and how prejudice can go hand in hand is when the two main characters meet each other, how Mr. Darcy’s first words on Elizabeth, are heard by Elizabeth and taken to heart, and Elizabeth sees Mr. Darcy as a prideful man, and begins to judge him herself. I had never really read a Classic novel, but I was interested when a friend recommended it, and after I saw the movie (which does not do the novel justice), and when I finished this novel, I was hooked. This is a great novel that I recommend to anyone who wants a good read. The vocabulary is not as complicated as you would think, and the way that it is written may be a bit confusing, but if you take the time to read the book, the wording becomes less complicated, and more beautiful, and flows. Jane Austen uses her characters and who they are, how they live to show her opinion on different matters. Though to find out what she believes is true love, and all of the themes that she wants to portray, and to see how all of the love interests work out, pick up and read the masterpiece, Pride and Prejudice.

      Lizzie Bennett- the best female protagonist EVER. PERIOD.

      I finally got around to reading this book - I tried reading it a few times, but couldn't get past the language. Then I saw the BBC production, finally figured out what was going on, and reread the book. I had a greater grasp of what was happening.This book is much better than the BBC Version, and the BBC version is awesome. What makes this book so good is the restraint that Darcy and Lizzy show towards their family, friends, and acquaintances while at the same time commenting on exactly how silly those same people are behaving. Austin might create long winded paragraphs, but so much is said in described that you get a very clear picture of exactly what is happening, and how the characters feel about it. My one and only complaint is Mr. WIckhams motive with Lydia - she has no money, but comes from a respectable family. He is also intends to marry a women with money. So why would he go off with Lydia - there would have been all sorts of loose women that would have settled his needs without the trouble that Lydia Caused.
    • 5/5
      This is one of my most favoritest books, and I always find something new in it, despite having read it many times before. The humor, of course, is marvelous, but what brings me back again and again is Austen's precise portrayals of characters and her deft manipulation of point of view in order to create suspense.
    • 4/5
      Joy's Review: It seems almost silly to rate a book that is so much a part of English-language culture. The plot and names and tropes are so ubiquitous and so much a part of the culture, that I can't honestly say if I had read this before or not. It felt a bit like visiting a place that I had seen many pictures of. That said, I found it very pleasant reading. Familiar and predictable, but also funny and insightful. Like a nice chat with an old friend.

      Jane Austen sets the tone of [Pride and Prejudice] with the novel’s first line “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” Mrs. Bennet has just learned that a wealthy bachelor has taken a residence in their town and she is quite determined that he will marry one of her five daughters. Set in England in the early 1800s, Pride and Prejudice invites the reader into the Bennet household including the hilariously outspoken mother; the wry, indifferent father; three very silly young sisters; and two older, more sensible sisters. The mother is desperate to marry her daughters well because the father’s estate will pass to an odious male cousin upon the father’s death. The daughters’ romances, however, are entangled in the social mores of the day, ruled as much by social position and wealth as they are by love and affection. The story is told from the point of view of Elizabeth, a handsome, although not beautiful young woman with a sharp wit and a mind of her own. She is one of the most adored heroines in English literature. However, as the title suggests, she has her faults: pride and prejudice. Elizabeth is counterbalanced by Mr. Darcy, equally proud and prejudiced and extremely wealthy. While most readers know the outcome before beginning the book, the innumerable misadventures in this romance leaves the reader constantly wondering how the endless problems will be resolved.One of the most popular novels in English literature, [Pride and Prejudice] is not as widely read in standard high school English classes as Dickens' works, written a generation later. The language can be challenging and it takes a careful reading to appreciate the novel’s extensive use of wry humor. It would be an excellent choice for more advanced classes such as AP English, British Literature, or Women’s Literature.

      Classic-still possibly the best book ever written in the English language. Worth a re-read!
    • 4/5
      Classic novel that every well educated person should read...well, at least well educated English teachers. I did enjoy it, but it isn't for people who are looking for a mind-candy read. 
    • 5/5
      Everyone should read this book simply to enjoy the clever, witty characters and feel-good love story! But really... Pride and Prejudice is a wonderful example of the complex, educated woman Jane Austen was. She gives an intriguing glimpse of life in 19th Century England that we cannot get from the her male contemporaries.

      This was my first book of Jane Austen that I've read and boy was it good! I loved every minute of it! It was beautiful, romantic, intriguing and just wonderful! I have been wanting to read this for a long time, I just always put it off. My sister-in-law read it recently and rated it 5 stars, so I thought it had to be really good. I literally could not put this down, any free time I had, I was glued to this book.Elizabeth was such a great character and I loved how her and Jane were so close and that they were always there for each other. Also, just the personality of Elizabeth was so interesting, she seemed very different from the rest of the woman from that time period. Very bold and knew what she wanted from a husband. Jane was great too, so sweet and kind. I disliked Mr.Darcy at the beginning but as time went on, fell in love with him too! I will definitely be reading more from Jane Austen and will be watching the movie. I've heard that the movie is really good too!

      Jane Austen is boring, insipid, cliche, blah blah blah. Spare me. This novel charmed my socks off. The prose is witty and complex, turning itself inside out and stealthily ensnaring the reader's consciousness so that pages rush by the more your appetite increases for the next page, and the next, and the next. I loved reading this book and was genuinely sad to see it come to an end.

      Read this at the behest of an ex-girlfriend. I guess I just don't like Austen at all.

      This is still my #1 favorite book. The story is as enduring as Shakespeare (and infinitely more pleasing to read).
    • 5/5
      It is so good to go back and read this book after so many years. I think I missed the humour, the pointed jabs, and the sheer exuberance of the writing when I last read this book, as a teenager. But now, I can see that it is just a standout - Austen really IS a legend, and her heroine is almost as pugnacious as Lisbeth Salander! (Read as an e-book May 2010)

      First published in 1813 in three volumes, Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice is the story of the Bennet Family, and the intricacies of Regency period marriage customs. The central storyline revolves around the five young Bennett sisters, Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia. The sisters range from their mid-teens to early twenties, making them of good marriageable age (at least where their mother is concerned.) Pride and Prejudice gives the reader a wealth of well developed characters. All are entertaining, and the situations Austen presents to them give an uproariously revealing look into Regency society and morality. Elizabeth Bennet is a lively heroine, and a truly an independent woman with strong opinions for her time. Her parents are perfect foils of each other, inducing many a giggle from the intrepid reader. Pompous Mr. Collins, boy-crazy Lydia Bennet, the snark-tastic sisters of Mr. Bingley, and all others of the "supporting cast", are well-developed, with easy to understand motives. Pride and Prejudice is a fresh and witty romantic comedy/drama. The language is extremely engaging, and the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy captivating. The attention to detail and social commentary are well-written and delightfully entertaining. The subtleties of character development and plot construction are natural and poignant, focusing on dialog and feeling rather than action and suspense.Not only did I absolutely adore the story of Pride and Prejudice, I also enjoyed the way Austen's writing made 19th-century England leap off every page, bringing the entire story to vibrant life. Pride and Prejudice is extremely fun to read, and a masterpiece of romance literature. It is charming and imaginative, and I'm sure it will remain a classic in years to come.

      I honestly don’t know how many times I have read this novel, but it never disappoints me. Books just aren’t written like this anymore. I love P&P for the misunderstandings, the witty banter and its beloved characters. The characters are so real, and it’s so easy to love them. Even the ridiculous characters such as Mr. Collins and Mrs. Bennet become have become my well-loved friends. And who doesn’t love the brooding Mr. Darcy??

      Would I recommend this to my BFF? Absolutely. Everyone should read this once.

      Would I recommend this to my daughter? Yes, but she might have trouble with the old English.
    • 5/5
      The novel of Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, novels the story of the five Beckett sisters that have to live with a mother that is absolutely obsessed with marriage. And with the idea of her girls, of getting married as soon as possible. The main characters of the novel are the two elder sisters, Jane and Elisabeth. Both of them, are completely antagonical. One is practical and dinamic, and the other one is totally the opposite.The best part of the book, is when the sisters let the reader overview her feelings, and how they feel, both of them, after the various amourous problems they had overgone through. Such, as the various failure engaments they had gone through. The sisters are both suprised by love, Elisabeth by the calculator, Mr. Darcy and Jane by the plainful Charles Bingley.It is the impossible romance between by Elisabeth and Mr.Darcy, at which Jane Austen finds her principal idea. A love that is impossible and that can not happen. , thanks to their mutual low opinions of one another--or at least the belief on the part of each that the other has a low opinion of them.And the story will continue...
