Tentang eBook ini

Austen’s most celebrated novel tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet, a bright, lively young woman with four sisters, and a mother determined to marry them to wealthy men. At a party near the Bennets’ home in the English countryside, Elizabeth meets the wealthy, proud Fitzwilliam Darcy. Elizabeth initially finds Darcy haughty and intolerable, but circumstances continue to unite the pair. Mr. Darcy finds himself captivated by Elizabeth’s wit and candor, while her reservations about his character slowly vanish. The story is as much a social critique as it is a love story, and the prose crackles with Austen’s wry wit.

Desolate, my days without you present Hope you'll come to keep me company Like a day without sun There was no light when you're not there Like a rainbow at night Not the least visible color I'm lonely here Not the slightest sound of your question Stars in the night still flashing Staring at her makes me miss you more Moon was still shining on my night from up there But without you it does not mean I really need you I will miss you Present your can emit light Present you gave me the color Beautiful colors Like the colors of the rainbow Under the blinking stars star I leaned back waiting for a smile Sweet smile like the smile of the month Present was that I was no longer in loneliness Was fixed into something meaningful for me I miss you

The daughter of a well-to-do family in the English countryside, Austen began writing as an adolescent, and went on to become one of the most widely read authors in the history of English literature. Her novels often reflect the social and familial customs brought to bear on the development of romantic love, and her work is noted for its caustic irony and sly observations. Austen’s writing marks a crucial literary transition between 18th-century sentimentalism and 19th-century realism.
