About this audiobook

Pride and Prejudice is the most famous of Jane Austen’s novels, and its opening is one of the most famous lines in English literature - “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Its manuscript was first written between 1796 and 1797, and was initially called First Impressions, but was never published under that title. Following revisions it was published on 28 January 1813 by the same Mr. Egerton of the Military Library, Whitehall, who had brought out Sense and Sensibility. Like both its predecessor and Northanger Abbey, it was written at Steventon Rectory. (Summary from Wikipedia)

Author

Jane Austen

Jane Austen nació en 1775 en Steventon (Hampshire), séptima de los ocho hijos del rector de la parroquia. Educada principalmente por su padre, empezó a escribir de muy joven, para recreo de la familia, y a los veintitrés años envió a los editores el manuscrito de La abadía de Northanger, que fue rechazado. Trece años después, en 1811, conseguiría publicar Juicio y sentimiento, a la que pronto seguirían Orgullo y prejuicio (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) y Emma (1816), que obtuvieron un gran éxito. Después de su muerte, acaecida prematuramente en 1817, y que le impidió concluir su novela SanditonLa abadía de Northanger, Persuasión (1818). Satírica, antirromántica, profunda y tan primorosa como mordaz, la obra de Jane Austen nace toda ella de una inquieta observación de la vida doméstica y de una estética necesidad de orden moral. «La Sabidu-ría –escribió una vez- es mejor que el Ingenio, y a la larga tendrá sin duda la risa de su parte.»

    Pride and Prejudice is by far my favorite book written by Jane Austen. I have read all of her books and this one over more than twice. It is a well written, Persuasion is my other favorite. I love this author.

    The reader has a nice accent and voice so it was a good listen. In a few parts I slowed to 0.8x speed so I could better process the intense dialog, but overall liked her tempo

    It’s so witty and interesting! I love Austen as a writer because she makes me feel smart, and she is really funny. Emma is next on my Austen reading list!

    Karen Savage’s excellent reading of this classic work makes it a joy to hear! If she hasn’t been snatched up for a staff reader by Audible, or one of the other commercial audiobook publishers in the intervening fourteen years between when she made this recording, and today, September 4, 2021, when I heard it for the first time, it is a shortsighted ignorance on their part. She is a master of the craft, and deserves to be able to make a living at it.

    Such a delightful reading, with proper accents, as far as this American can tell. I only wish Ms. Savage read a bit more slowly, so I could savor each sentence the more.
