Pride and prejudice. E-book. Formato EPUB. In 1813, Jane Austen anonymously published her second&mdash;and arguably most popular&mdash;novel, &quot;Pride and Prejudice&quot;. Originally written years earlier as &quot;<i>First Impressions</i>&quot;, a manuscript she tried but failed to sell, the revised novel was met with instant success.<br /><br />Despite &quot;Pride and Prejudice&quot;&rsquo;s 19th-century setting, its biting wit, sharp eye for the nuances of human relationships, and opposites-attract romance continues to resonate with contemporary readers. The novel has become a fixture in popular culture and has been adapted into countless films, plays, and television series.<br /><br />Austen&#39;s &quot;Pride and Prejudice&quot; centres on the conflict between marrying for love and marrying for economic reasons. None of Mr. Bennet&#39;s five daughters can inherit his estate, so they are pressured into finding security in &quot;good&quot; marriages. Elizabeth Bennet, the main character, struggles with the societal pressures of marriage and resists Mr. Darcy&#39;s advances and proposals. Eventually, however, she finds that she does love him, and for that reason, she decides to marry him.
