    About this ebook

    "Orgoglio e pregiudizio" di Jane Austen è un fumetto rielaborato dall’illustratrice romana Sicks. Rappresenta la prima uscita della nuova collana di bignami letterari illustrati, i Bignè.

    Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1813, in occasione del duecentesimo anniversario, "Orgoglio e pregiudizio" viene riletto, con un look manga-style color seppia, in chiave ironica, molto femminile e moderna da Sicks, giovane illustratrice e pittrice romana diplomata alla Scuola Internazionale di Comics.

    Il romanzo racconta una storia d'amore estremamente all'avanguardia per l'epoca: l'orgogliosa Elizabeth Bennet si innamora di Darcy, un uomo dai mille pregiudizi. O è il contrario? Una girandola di personaggi divertenti e indimenticabili, un tripudio di solidarietà femminile tra le donne Bennet, e di amore con la A maiuscola in uno dei romanzi più riadattati degli ultimi anni.

    Dai film alle mille versioni con gli zombie, ecco "Orgoglio e pregiudizio" a fumetti, in Italia.

    Il romanzo cult delle romantiche di tutti i tempi in una versione agile e snella, da divorare come un dolcissimo bignè.

    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.»

      Forced myself to listen to it, because I kept giving up on reading after page 50. Love the BBC version with Colin Firth. The book, not so much. Definitely do not understand the Austen obsession.
    • 1/5
      Oh gosh. This book is not for me. I made it to page 70 in a borrowed book, and returned it at that point rather than taking the person up on the offer to take it with me.
      The wife calling her husband 'Mr. Darcy' during their personal conversations with each other was hard to overlook after the fifth time.
      The underhanded and sneaky means of finding husbands for the females was annoying, but when it became more obvious that was the only goal in life for the female characters, I got truly discouraged and disappointed. Is this the 200 year old version of Twilight or 50 Shades of Grey?
      Just like in a Harlequin novel, the rouge vagrant of a man that the heroine initially despises was to become her object of undying love (or so I think, from what I've heard of the book over the past decades). And just like a Harlequin novel, I could not care less about these characters near the middle of the book than before I met them.
      I will try again in a few years in an attempt to see the greatness that others have seen. Just having a hard time right now thinking that I ever will enjoy it.

      The Little BookwormElizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy meet and dislike each other, then through a series of meetings realize that first impressions do not always make the kindest.I haven't read Pride and Prejudice in a very long time so when the Everything Austen Challenge came along I decided to take advantage and do an all P&P list. Since it had been so long since I read it, it seemed only natural to start at the beginning. Oddly I found myself bored until Mr. Collins arrived (ironic). That's when the action started to pick up as much as it ever does in this book. The characters start moving locations and interacting in situations outside their normal places and then it starts to get good.I love how natural the relationship between Elizabeth and Darcy becomes and is, frankly, the archetype for this type of relationship. If this book was published now it would totally be considered chic lit. The meet cute, the fighting and misunderstanding, the declaration of love at the end, well, actually it has been made into chic lit through the Bridget Jones character. Anyway, P&P still holds up in my esteem and it was well worth re-reading.
    • 5/5
      The Top Ten Things to know about the characters and character of Pride and Prejudice:•Jane Austen is observant in a way that could do you much credit or reveal you to be the most lamentable boor or ninny ever.•“Elizabeth Bennet is one of the greatest and most complex characters ever written.” That line’s lifted from the movie You’ve Got Mail. It’s got truth.•Mr. Bennet, Elizabeth’s father, is often sensible and well-humored, though not without defect even good humor cannot always compensate. One wonders if he has, in his parental supervisions and marital forbearance, support from something distilled.•Mrs. Bennet, Elizabeth’s mother, isn’t sensible and her good humor deserts her often. Yet, despite her follies and the vexations afforded by her family, she is set aglow by even small promise of desired events to come. That is a thing not to be scoffed at.•Elizabeth Bennet pays firm notice of Mr. Darcy’s prejudice; her pride is to interpret it prejudicially.•Mr. Darcy’s pride is to have a stick up his hind side for the longest time. Elizabeth Bennet, in her musings, somehow refrains from expressing her identical sentiments with identical words.•Mr. Wickham, a roguish fellow, boldfaces the grievances Elizabeth Bennet has with Mr. Darcy. The comparison has consequences and is a source of much that’s fun.•Lady Catherine’s genius is to put pride and prejudice in service of her very great admiration of her own greatness at endeavors she’s never attempted and emotions she’s never felt, thus calling to mind a person quite prominent in present-day U.S. politics.•The last third or so of the book is not as good as what came before. But keep on—Elizabeth Bennet does and that should suffice.•You might not be enchanted by Elizabeth Bennet. But if you are not, justice should petition that Lady Catherine (or her toady, Mr. Collins) become an affliction to your days.And that’s the true gen. Count on it.

      Who doesn't love this book? I mean, really. It's the quintessential love story that most of us base our romantic fantasies and reading preferences on. Even if you're the type to shy away from classic literature, you'll find this story accessible, relevant, and enjoyable.
    • 5/5
      No wonder this book is a classic; it's awesome!
    • 4/5
      Obviously the language is dated and heavy on narrative. Structurally, it's an excellent example of a 3-act play with multiple plot lines and surprising twists.
    • 4/5
      A beautiful love story full of biting humor, Pride & Prejudice has some of the most memorable, endearing characters in literary history. This book will be remembered and cherished long after you read it.
    • 4/5
      Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice is probably her most popular novel. I have to admit; I read Austen's novel Emma first and didn't thoroughly enjoy it. Therefore, I put off Pride & Prejudice for months and months. Finally one day I decided to take a crack at it. At first I found once again the plot to be slow and dry. Once the characters were all introduced I really became engrossed with the story and setting. I immediately fell in love with Elizabeth and grew to feel sorry for her. Elizabeth is the second eldest of five daughters. She is completely misunderstood by everyone in her family except for her eldest sister Jane and her father. It was very obvious that Elizabeth’s mother favored Jane and was very anxious for her to be engaged to Mr. Bingley, a wealthy gentleman who just moved in to Netherfield Park. When Mr. Darcy was introduced, I thought he was very arrogant and rude and just a revolting man to be around. However, as the story and plot continued I began to like him more and more. It was really hard to get a handle on Mr. Darcy. Is he arrogant and rude or is he really shy and mysterious?Overall, I absolutely loved Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. I really got a feel for who most of the characters were and I loved the twists and turns. Austen did a fantastic job making it witty and comical. I would have given this novel 5 out of 5 stars, however, I did find it to be dry in parts and found myself skipping paragraphs and even a page or two at times and didn’t really feel I was missing anything. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a witty romance novel.
    • 4/5
      Returned to a classic as my library offered no attractive newer options and I was well rewarded by a reread as a mature--very--adult. 'The marriage game' to use Eugenides' phrase in its most sophisticated and subtle rendition. In its most essential lines a typical lady romance, but its sensibility to the social context of the times brings it to another level altogether, plus that something magical of an artist's(author's) unique expression. As I sometimes felt I was wading through the oblique and rather artificial for our time's dialogue, where people rarely spoke openly, I wondered how the book could still be so absorbing. But the editor I think hit it spot on saying that difference can be fascinating. So in that sense it was interesting as a historical novel, bringing alive the context of the times, and the same holds for the rather circumscribed setting and actors of the genteel English countryside. Again I wondered how these so different and 'irrelevant' characters could hold my interest whereas in the contemporary --peerless for some-- "Corrections" I ended up saying I just don't care about them. I think likely because the latter were so extremely self-absorbed, selfish in their mundane problems, whereas in the former there is balance and retrospection rather than absorption. And if I don't give it a fifth star, it's basically because of the light romantic theme and of the 'distant' to us setting, which are also the main points for giving it four stars.

      When I started my reading list for 2017, I decided to go heavy on the classics, those books that always appear on those Read These Books Before You Die lists, 100 Greatest Books, blah-blah-blah. So I read it. It was okay, but I wasn’t exactly bowled over, it was a bit stiff and stilted. Not surprising considering the setting, plot, etc. “Oh, Lady Frillypants and Lord Salsburywichshireford! What an honor to see you at our daughter’s ball! Fa-la-la!” It wasn’t horrible, and I’m glad to have read it, but I did remove the other Jane Austen novels I had put on my list. One was enough.
    • 5/5
      Oh what can I say about this book, or any Jane Austen book, that hasn't already been said. And by people who are more intelligent than me. I have always been a fan of Jane Austen but, surprisingly, I have never read any of her books until now. Not that I haven't wanted to but school, after school activities, and many other little things were in the way. Resulting in me not having a chance to read it until a couple of weeks ago, but having started it about ten times.

      I love this book. I knew I would. A beautiful, engaging, wonderful book. I have always thought I was born in the wrong time. Although, I want the fashions I would love them with the values of the 21st century. But the book has captivated me and Jane Austen as gained another fan.

      Elizabeth was a refreshing, lively, stubborn young woman who in some ways is ahead of her time. Her sisters and parents are all amazing characters who are living in the world were girls are supposed to be married and have children. However, Elizabeth wanted to marry for love and in walks Mr. Darcy who turns her world on end. My love for this book cannot be expressed in words, nor will I ever be able to.

      5/5
    • 4/5
      The absolute embodiment of the Romance novel. The style, though lovely and expressive in its own peculiar, is outdated for the genre today. The characters though are still the paragons of "boy meets girl" plots, imitated and copied millions of time - and usually worse than in the original.Karen Savage did a superb job in the Librivox reading, giving every character their very own quirks. Especially Mr. Collins and Mrs. Bennet were as hilarious as they were supposed to be.

      I have read this book multiple times--every time I read it, I find something new in Austen's wonderful writing. The novel tells the story of finding love in the reality of a mercenary world and prescribed social norms.
    • 5/5
      So, so, so wonderful!!! I first read P&P 30+ years ago. Re-reading it was such a wonderful treat. Such lovely characters (except Lydia an Mrs. B are a hot mess!). I'm such an Elizabeth! And I'm 100% cool with that. The manners and mores are so foreign to today, but that helps the reader totally immerse herself in the story. And the story rings so true. These people are real to me and I feel their emotions and understand their motivations. It's simply a lovely bit of zeitgeist to cleanse the palate.

      (Original Review, 1981-02-20)If Jane Austen had never become a novelist, what would have happened? What would have happened to the British? Have Jane Austen's works become an antidote to a harshness in the world? Are they a key to disarming totalitarian societies? To making the world decide to be happier and freer? People read Jane Austen's novels to be entertained, after all. The problem with the world today is that it does not really know how to entertain itself or fears doing so - even in this busy, time-aware technological age - and even in Western societies where the hubs of the world's light entertainment have been developed in the last one hundred and fifty years (with theatre and music hall and all that) (and their milieu) would be far poorer.For me Austen is brilliant at conveying the restricted options that women of this period and class had (privileged as they were). Marriage was really the only decent "career" option to them; everything else (spinsterhood and governess) conferred real loser status. Austen, while seemingly amused at the shenanigans centered around the game and rituals of marriage, also managed to convey just how desperate the situation could be for women (and their families) reliant on a "good match" - particularly if they chose badly or acquired "reputations" that knocked them out of contention for a solid "settlement". For all the emphasis on marrying for love, such as that between Mr. Darcy and Lizzie B - there was a very mercenary eye towards the fortunes that Mr. Darcy brought to such a marriage - the economic reality of marriage was never far from Austen's (or her contemporary audience's-) mind. Why do women admire D'Arcy so much? He was at best a toad for most of the book. In fact, a cut n' shut, modeled on one bloke until just before he goes to London, and someone else after that. No wonder he reformed - it's someone else! Captain Wentworth now, that is a man to admire, an exemplar of masculine virtue. Jane Austen had an exceptional understanding of women, but the young Austen knew very little about men.For me, Austen reminds me of how little agency women of that time had - rather than making me nostalgic, it makes me grateful to be living in a time and society that allows far more options for women in how they can live their lives (as imperfect as they can often be).I was also interested in the notes on the significance of the mourning clothing. Some years ago I read a book specifically dealing with the history of mourning costume in Europe. The conventions over the centuries are as complex as they are fascinating and elaborate. One snippet: in the 19th century, a widower marrying again within the mourning period, was expected to hold a "mourning wedding"; this included the requirement that the current bride wearing mourning for the previous wife for the duration of the mourning period's run (both in terms of the dress worn for the wedding), any wedding decorations were also expected to be appropriate to the period of mourning.
    • 3/5
      I gave a 3 due to the story cause it was just a simple love story set among rich people blah blah blah; I’ve been recently watching Downton Abbey set 100 years later and not much has changed; the writing itself however is excellent in itself; it would be awesome to see modern story writers use language so effectively like Austen, Shelly, Hugo, or Wells.
    • 3/5
      The novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is confusing but also enjoyable. This novel is about the Bennets who have five unmarried daughters. Mrs. Bennet is eager for her daughters to marry a man of good fortune. Jane is the oldest daughter and also the prettiest. Elizabeth is the second oldest then Mary who is very serious. Then is Kitty who is not as much as a flirt as Lydia, who is the youngest. When Bingley comes to Nether field Mrs. Bennet intends to have one of her daughters marry him. Jane and Bingley have a connection, which is ruined by his friend Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy admires Elizabeth but she dislikes him because he doesn’t seem to be much of a gentle men and she also heard horrible things about him from his old friend Mr. Wickham. When Elizabeth hears Mr. Darcy’s side of the story she doesn’t know who to believe. After she realizes Mr. Darcy is right she doesn’t warn her youngest sisters about Mr. Wickham. Elizabeth feels as if it’s her fault when Lydia ends up with Mr. Wickham. While Jane still has a broken heart Mr. Bingley comes back to see her and the reconnect. Elizabeth’s feeling toward Mr. Darcy change and the soon establish a relationship. I enjoyed reading this novel because Jane and Bingley end up together and so do Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. The character I disliked from this novel is Lydia because she’s only 15 and the only thing she does is flirt with men. I also don’t like Lydia because she’s not nice to her sister Mary and her parents don’t do anything about it.
    • 5/5
      What a classic. No matter how many times you read it, it never gets old. Though not quite as good as Sense & Sensibility (in my humble opinion), I still "greatly esteem" this book. Mr. Darcy is and always will be my favorite fictional character. Thank you Mr. Darcy for setting the bar so high that I know without a doubt I will die a lonely cat lady surrounded by empty boxes of wine. Pride & Prejudice can be summed up in one sentence, "Two people who strongly dislike each other end up falling madly in love despite their initial prejudices." Even though I spoiled the entire plot for you, you should still read it. Ladies, you will have new standards for men and gentlemen... you will hopefully learn how to properly woo a lady. Also... the only movie Mr. Darcy to nail it is Colin Firth, don't even try to argue with me on that one!
    • 5/5
      I read this (for the third time) to get a jump-start on the bicentennial. As I began it it was enjoyable but felt a little repetitive like I remembered virtually every word and scene and was not getting anything new out of them. But the time I got to Darcy's letter I was completely sucked in and absorbed as if I was reading it for the first time. And unaccountably, I had completely forgotten the magnificent interview between Elizabeth and Lady De Bourgh near the end of the book so at least that felt new to me. Overall, very much worth re-reading ever now and then.
    • 5/5
      Pride and Prejudice is the classic romance that tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet, one of five sisters, for whom Mrs. Bennet’s only goal in life is to find five husbands. When rich and eligible Mr. Bingley and his friend the unpleasant and very proud seeming Mr. Darcy move in to a large house in the neighborhood, Mrs. Bennet is ecstatic at Mr. Bingley’s preference for her oldest daughter Jane. Elizabeth is determined from the beginning to hate Mr. Darcy and even more when he conspires to keep Mr. Bingley away from Jane because of the Bennet’s firmly middle class existence in comparison to Bingley and Darcy’s much higher standing. In this engaging story that spans an entire year we see society, expectations, manners, and first impressions and how many things change and many things stay exactly the same. I read this book as apart of a personal quest to read the books before seeing the movies whenever possible, and while their are several movies of Pride and Prejudice they were not actually the inspiration. The youtube series The Lizzy Bennet Diaries which created by Hank Green of who I am a fan and then strongly recommended to my by my older brother whose opinion I greatly treasure, meant that it was time to read Pride and Prejudice (that and finding a good copy for 99 cents and goodwill). There are many characters in Pride and Prejudice and often (especially in the beginning) there names get confusing and hard to keep straight, but our main cast have very strong characteristics that become well defined early. I did however find it a very strange feature of this book that the characters with the most strongly defined characteristics and sympathetic personalities were only the females. It is likely either a symptom of the society in which the story takes place or the authors sex (most likely both) that lead to this strange lack of understanding of the male characters. While I came to like the male characters of the story I still felt that I did not know them very well, while there were several female characters out side of our narrator that I feel like I know just as well as my best friends. Every character however felt like a real and complete person even those in the periphery. When it comes to plot, Pride and Prejudice is split in to three volumes of about equal length that split the story by its major events. (I am trying to not provide any spoilers for while this is a classic novel I read it with no knowledge of the out come of the story and greatly enjoyed it that way.) While I have read some reviews that complain that not enough of substance really happens in the story I would say: one, I don’t believe that to be true and, two isn’t that a great deal like real life? Every day life is not grand events and constant happenings some times its a few parties and walking in to town so as not to be too borred, or even looking after a sick friend. Pride and Prejudice feels real and honest in its events just as it does in its people. After the first few chapters in which very little happens and the distinctions between the five Miss. Bennet’s, Mrs. Bennet, Miss, Bingley, Mr. Bingley and Mr. Bennet get really confusing. The book really starts to find its stride. While there were times all the way through the book were a bit of language would trip me up or the usage of a particular word would be so vastly different then its common usage now that I would need a moment to figure out its exact meaning, over all this book is not a hard read. With even a small understanding of the society in which these events take place (a watching of Downton Abby helps with this and also its just awesome), and some care and attention payed to the book as your reading it to make sure that you are really comprehending the text It should not take more hen a few days to read. This is yet another book (like Count of Monte Cristo) that my mother would give me that look and say “Well honey they are generally classic for a reason.” I found the book to be truly beautiful and moving, Jane Austen is a fantastic author I suggest it to just about any one and I can’t wait to continue my way thought her works.

      I was hooked from page one, and Elizabeth is a fantastic character. I wish I could have her tenasity and drive. Mr. Darcy is wonderful too.

      Probably my #1 OTP of all time, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. Oh, how I adore this book. I've read it countless times, watched the different adaptations countless times, and read so many P&P retellings.... The writing in this novel is superb. Favorite book of all time.
      I love the humor in this book. Mr. Collins is comically ridiculous and his lines always make me giggle. Lady Catherine definitely deserves a pie in the face. And I love to hate Mr. Wickham. Such a great cast of characters all in one novel.
