Orgullo y Prejuicio

by Jane Austen, Luna Forum S.L.

Orgullo y prejuicio fue publicada por primera vez en 1813, y es una de las precursoras de la novela romántica. La trama se desarrolla alrededor de Elizabeth Bennet, una joven de 20 años que se caracteriza por su fuerte sentido de independencia, lo que no era común en las mujeres de su tiempo. Elizabeth, sus hermanas y sus padres viven en la finca Longbourn, una gran propiedad que ninguna de sus hijas podrá heredar cuando muera su padre, lo que las dejará en una situación precaria. Debido a esto, es vital que al menos una de las hijas se case bien para mantener a sus hermanas en el futuro. En este marco se desarrollará la historia de Elizabeth y el señor Darcy. Orgullo y prejuicio es posiblemente una de las novelas más queridas de la literatura inglesa, y ha vendido millones de ejemplares desde su publicación.

About the author

Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six novels, which implicitly interpret, critique, and comment upon the English landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage for the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works are an implicit critique of the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her deft use of social commentary, realism and biting irony have earned her acclaim among critics and scholars.

The anonymously published Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816), were a modest success but brought her little fame in her lifetime. She wrote two other novels—Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1817—and began another, eventually titled Sanditon, but died before its completion. She also left behind three volumes of juvenile writings in manuscript, the short epistolary novel Lady Susan, and the unfinished novel The Watsons.
Since her death Austen's novels have rarely been out of print. A significant transition in her reputation occurred in 1833, when they were republished in Richard Bentley's Standard Novels series (illustrated by Ferdinand Pickering and sold as a set). They gradually gained wide acclaim and popular readership. In 1869, fifty-two years after her death, her nephew's publication of A Memoir of Jane Austen introduced a compelling version of her writing career and supposedly uneventful life to an eager audience. Her work has inspired a large number of critical essays and has been included in many literary anthologies. Her novels have also inspired many films, including 1940's Pride and Prejudice, 1995's Sense and Sensibility and 2016's Love & Friendship.

el mejor regaló de cumpleaños de la vida.
No tengo mucho para decir, va a ser un libro al cual siempre vuelva cuando el mundo te destroce.
Conclusión estúpido Collins, estúpida la hermana de bingley, estúpida la vieja soreta de lady Catherine, fin.
PD Darcy no creía que podía amarte más que en la peli hasta que leí el libro entero, gracias Mr Darcy por resolver
