Summary

"His perfect indifference, and your pointed dislike, make it so delightfully absurd!"

Pride and Prejudice has delighted generations of readers with its unforgettable cast of characters, carefully choreographed plot, and a hugely entertaining view of the world and its absurdities. With the arrival of eligible young men in their neighbourhood, the lives of Mr and Mrs Bennet and their five daughters are turned inside out and upside down. Pride encounters prejudice, upward-mobility confronts social disdain, and quick-wittedness challenges sagacity, as misconceptions and hasty judgements lead to heartache and scandal, but eventually to true understanding, self-knowledge, and love. In this supremely satisfying story, Jane Austen balances comedy with seriousness, and witty observation with profound insight. If Elizabeth Bennet returns again and again to her letter from Mr Darcy, readers of the novel are drawn even more irresistibly by its captivating wisdom.

A world away......

A world away from where I am, who I am and what I am...but this is a totally engaging, funny, interesting, challenging and rewarding world. Lots of well trodden paths, new places to explore, thoughts to think and reflections to bring to the world inside and outside the Vauxhall Vectra where I sat in comfortable isolation and enjoyed this book. Hours and hours of time well spent - no better recommendation whoever you are, whatever you are, whenever you can be there.

Listen to a masterpiece

A masterpiece which doesn't lose anything of its strength with the years!

If you have only see tv or movie adaptions you have to read it for yourself. Some of the best dialogues in the history of literature.

My favorite is probably Mr.Bennet proposal to Elisabeth, wonderfully performed in this audiobook edition.

As good as the BBC TV Series

I loved the TV series and hence thought I would listen to the book. I have to say I think it was really excellent and added in more things that the TV series had left out.

Beautifully narrated version of a classic

Lindsay Duncan is the very best narrator I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. She is the perfect choice for Austen. I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook.

The best love story ever.

Meet expectations; yes. Read many times.
Beautifully read by the narrator. Lindsay Duncan's use of different inflections for different characters.
Sublime.

Characters really come to life!

I really struggled to read pride and prejudice as a book because i HATE dialogue and this book is full of it and it is a vital part of the story. So an audio book version is perfect!

with this version the reader really brings the characters to life and gives you a real insight in to the personalities Jane Austin wanted to portray.
