About this audiobook
Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austen's classic comic romance, in which the five Bennett sisters try to find that most elusive creature: a single man in possession of a large fortune. Sparks fly when sweet, pretty Jane meets their new neighbor, Mr. Bingley, but her sister Elizabeth is most offended by his haughty friend, Mr. Darcy. This is Austen at the height of her powers: the ironic narration, hilariously drawn supporting characters, and romantic suspense make this her most enduringly popular novel.
Jane Austen
Born in 1775, Jane Austen published four of her six novels anonymously. Her work was not widely read until the late nineteenth century, and her fame grew from then on. Known for her wit and sharp insight into social conventions, her novels about love, relationships, and society are more popular year after year. She has earned a place in history as one of the most cherished writers of English literature.

Reviews for Pride and Prejudice (Golden Deer Classics)
11 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The narrator was too fast
This gave a sense of unnecessary urgency in parts where a calmer, smoother voice would have given the listener to increase the enjoyment Jane Austen’literary style - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Since this was first published in 1813, it has had major success and once you have read it once you will fall in love with the band of characters.
Jane Austin, herself, called this her most brilliant work and referred to it as her 'darling child'. She also referred to the heroine Elizabeth Bennett the most delightful developed character in print at that time. The plot of the book is the clash between the heroine and the proud Mr Darcy and is a timeless battle and roller-coaster of emotions.
I lover this book and have read it several times, to the point that I purchased the Penguin Cloth bound Edition of this novel. I think it is my love for the characters which pulls me back to it at least once a year. The elegance of the language and the writing style pulls you in and transports you to the fly on the war witnessing this happening. I think that I have read this at least once a year since I was studying for my highers. Every time i read it I fall in love with the characters putting my support behind the notion of love and opposites attract.
The historical fiction genre is my all time favourite as i love the dress code and the way that people interact with each other with respect and courtesy. I don't know whether it is the hierarchy of the time period or if it is that and every girls dream to net her own Mr Darcy and have him sweep her off their feet. It is however evident that no matter where you are in society, if there is a scandal then it spreads like wildfire.
Jane Austen is one of the few writers from the time period who can pull me into the story. You can not help but cheer when Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy finally marry towards the end of the novel, she leaves you wanting more and a further dozen chapters so you can see what married life is like for the two of them. She also ensure that she doesn't ignore the realities of marriage as she ensures that she show this through the other marriages in the novel and these are looked at in details.
Jane Austen leaves you wanting a sequel to this ...... unfortunately this is not the case and leaves the reader in limbo about the outcome of Elizabeth and Darcy marriage.
