About this audiobook
Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" is a literary masterpiece that has captivated readers for over two centuries. Published in 1813, the novel remains a quintessential work of English literature, celebrated for its keen social commentary, memorable characters, and enduring themes.
At its core, "Pride and Prejudice" is a story of love and societal expectations in early 19th-century England. The novel introduces us to the headstrong and intelligent Elizabeth Bennet and the enigmatic Mr. Darcy. Their initial encounters are marked by pride and prejudice, with both harboring preconceived notions about each other. However, as the narrative unfolds, Austen masterfully peels back the layers of pride and prejudice to reveal the vulnerability and depth of these characters.
Austen's exploration of the themes of pride and prejudice goes beyond the romantic relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. It extends to a broader examination of the rigid social hierarchy and the judgments people make based on class and appearances. The characters in the novel, from the haughty Lady Catherine de Bourgh to the witty but judgmental Mr. Collins, represent different facets of societal pride and prejudice. Through these characters, Austen invites readers to reflect on the consequences of holding onto such biases.
One of the enduring strengths of "Pride and Prejudice" lies in its timeless relevance. While the novel is firmly rooted in its historical context, the themes it explores—love, marriage, social expectations, and personal growth—are universally applicable. .
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.»
