Pride and Prejudice (commemorative edition)

Originally published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice is one of the masterpieces of English literature of all time.

Introduction by Tony Tanner, Professor at Cambridge University

Translation by Ana Mª Rodríguez

Throughout a plot that unfolds with great rhythm and precision, Jane Austen brings together a gallery of characters characteristic of an entire era: the lady determined to marry her daughters to the best match in the region, the sisters struggling with their sentimental ups and downs, the fawning clergyman who sins of opportunism... The study of characters and the analysis of human relationships based on custom, essential elements of the author's narrative, reach unsurpassed levels of mastery in Pride and Prejudice.

This edition includes a detailed chronology of the author. It also recovers the original introduction in Penguin Classics by Tony Tanner, who developed his career as a professor of English and American literature at Cambridge University, and whose keen reflections on Jane Austen are the best guide to delve into the literary universe of this author.
