Orgullo y prejuicio, Jane Austen, Ilustraciones originales (Jane Austen Colección nº 2)

by Jane Austen, Nèlida Bernal Raspall (Translator)

Edición curada de “Orgullo y prejuicio”, la novela más famosa de Jane Austen, donde el ingenio luminoso de Elizabeth Bennet y la orgullosa reserva del señor Darcy colisionan en una de las historias de amor y transformación personal más influyentes de la literatura universal. Desde las primeras páginas, la chispa entre ambos ilumina un relato lleno de ironía, encanto y segundas

En un mundo gobernado por la etiqueta, la fortuna y las apariencias, ciertos malentendidos, juicios precipitados y comentarios mordaces van tejiendo una trama en la que nadie es del todo lo que parece. Entre bailes, visitas y paseos por el campo, Austen retrata con humor, finura e ironía la hipocresía social, el papel de la mujer y la delicada tensión entre deseo, orgullo, prejuicio y autenticidad.

Este libro contiene todas las ilustraciones originales de Hugh Thomson, que fijaron la imagen de Elizabeth, Darcy y el universo de Longbourn, Netherfield y Pemberley.

Presentado con el máximo cuidado y fidelidad al espíritu de los textos originales, este libro es una obra imprescindible para quienes disfrutan de las novelas románticas de época, los diálogos brillantes, la crítica social irónica y los grandes clásicos universales.

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.
