Good quality

Elizabeth Bennet, the third child of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet was a thoughtful and decisive girl who was quite resolute in her opinions. When the news came about the acquisition of Netherfield Park by Mr. Bingley, who probably earned more than four thousand a year, Mrs. Bennet couldn't resist her desire of getting one of her daughters married with him. Mrs. Bennet was somehow obsessed with the marriage of her daughters, not only out of the worry of being a mother of five daughters, but also because of her insatiable hunger for money. After persistent coaxing, she made her husband obliged to fix a meeting with Mr. Bingley's family on the prospect of making a marriage offer. And finally her efforts seems fruitful on seeing Mr. Bingley's inclination for their elder daughter Jane Bennet.Elizabeth, who attended a ball organised by Bingley's family was quite happy and relieved seeing Jane's closeness with Mr. Bingley. They seem to enjoy each other's company which was writ large on Jane's face. On the ball night, Elizabeth got a chance to meet many people, who were close associates of Mr. Bingley. There only she met Fitzwilliam Darcy, the closest friend of Bingley. Her first encounter was though not so pleasant. Darcy, the sole owner of Perkerley estate in Derbyshire looked arrogant and boasty to her. She considered him as a conceited man with a very nasty behavior. All her beliefs came true when Darcy's involvement in the break-up of her sister's marriage got confirmed. Her detestation for him became more intense with each passing day.On the other hand, as their unplanned meetings increased, Darcy found himself in awe of Elizabeth's intelligence and firmness. He inadvertently started appreciating her way of conduct. Without being cognisant of his feelings, he started altering his old ways of living, with a hope of grabbing Elizabeth's attention. She,however, found herself struggling between her dislike for his disposition and her admiration for his assistance in Lydia's matter. His participation in bringing out her family from the embarrassment that her youngest sister's obnoxious act has created, has somehow impressed her and made her turn her despise into respect.Through this wonderfully written tale, Jane Austen has set up an example of admiration and love. This is a story about two persons whose indifferences, over a series of events, has swerved into a deep adoration. Darcy's character was articulated in the finest manner. The revelation of his true nature was very impressive and unexpected at the same time. His character was portrayed as a sensible man with a clear conscience. Elizabeth's was too described as a woman with a possession of knowledge. She was very determined in her choices and didn't even hesitate to accept the mistakes done on her part.Apart from the protagonists, i like Mr. Bennet and Jane's character too. The best part about Austen's book was the preciseness with which a human character was described. She devoted a good time of amount in presenting the true tendencies of every character in the story. And not to forget, the smoothness with which the entire story was written. It was a very engrossing story which literally demands you full focus. Once entered into the elegance of the book, it's really hard to quit or drop in between. Set up in eighteen century England, it is really a beautiful piece of literature which highlights the fluctuations in one's pride and prejudice.

The book came in good condition, the printing is clear, but I feel the pages are very thin and not of good quality. Overall it's okay for one time read.

Good

I bought it in 2018 and its 2026 now, everytime I read it I get goosebumps, everytime.Worth it if you're delusional and believe in soft forms of love.💖

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is a masterpiece that transcends time, drawing readers into the charming yet complex world of the Bennet family. At its core is Elizabeth Bennet, a heroine as fiercely independent as she is delightfully witty, and Mr. Darcy, whose pride masks a heart capable of profound love. Their journey from mutual disdain to deep understanding is both a battle of egos and a celebration of personal growth.Austen’s sharp social commentary illuminates the nuances of class, marriage, and morality in Regency England, while her vivid characters bring this bygone era to life. Each page sparkles with humor, from Mr. Collins’s absurdities to Mrs. Bennet’s dramatic endeavors, making the novel as entertaining as it is insightful.At its heart, Pride and Prejudice is about more than romance—it’s about the courage to defy expectations, the wisdom to admit one’s faults, and the beauty of finding connection despite the odds. Austen masterfully balances wit and warmth, leaving readers with a sense of satisfaction akin to a perfect ending.Austen’s world may be centuries past, but the themes of love, self-discovery, and the courage to challenge societal norms remain profoundly relevant. This is not just a book—it’s a mirror into our hearts, reminding us of the transformative power of vulnerability and respect. Whether for the first time or the tenth, Pride and Prejudice is a gift that keeps on giving.✨

Let me read first...This book contains 352 page...while the seller tells it has 416 pages....The page quality is slightly dull....it should've been a little whitish...

The book quality is good but pages may feel lighter. One of my favourite book by Jane Austen.

On Macmillan Collector’s Library EditionThere are some good fountain pen drawings images included in all chapters. I got about 13 Au dollars which even beat some of paperback versions .Only thing is the paper is too thing and over whiten for me personally speaking

I was going to use this book to an art project, I was not going to make it unreadable, I was just going to make a new cover, since I paid 4 dollars for the book I was expecting it to be in really poor shape and conditions but the book looks so good right now that I can't find courage to redo anything! My mom didn't believe it was used, the pages have a good quality and besides being a 2005 edition the pages are not yellow at all, the cover is cute and the spine also looks perfect, so I'm kinda dissapointed for my arts project but kinda happy because I love pride and prejudice and didn't had any physical edition and now I have this super cute one! Anyway, I would recommend the purchase!

Amazing book, beautiful edition.
