About this audiobook

Pride and Prejudice follows the story of Elizabeth Bennet, the second of five daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, a landed country gentleman in early 19th century England. Mrs. Bennet is determined to see all her daughters married off to wealthy men, and when the wealthy and eligible Mr. Bingley arrives in their village, she sees it as the perfect opportunity to marry off one of her daughters. At a ball, Mr. Bingley is smitten with the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, while Elizabeth meets Mr. Darcy, a wealthy and proud man who initially insults her. Elizabeth's prejudice against Mr. Darcy is compounded when she hears rumours about him from his friend Mr. Wickham, but she eventually learns that some of her assumptions were incorrect. Read in English, unabridged.

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.»

    P&P is one of my all time favorites but this narrator sounds like speech to text AI. I can't get past the first fee minutes of this.
