With its “light and bright and sparkling” dialogue, its romantic denouement and its lively heroine, Pride and Prejudice is Jane Austen’s most perennially popular novel. The love story of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy, who misjudge, then challenge and change each other, is also a novel about the search for happiness and self-knowledge in a world of strict social rules, where a woman must marry well to survive.
This edition of Pride and Prejudice is based on the first-edition text of 1813, as originally published.

Pride and Prejudice is a novel by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. The story follows the main character, Elizabeth Bennet, as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of the British Regency. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman, Mr Bennet, living in Longbourn.
Set in England in the late 18th century, Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr and Mrs Bennet's five unmarried daughters after two gentlemen have moved into their neighbourhood: the rich and eligible Mr Bingley, and his status-conscious friend, the even richer and more eligible Mr Darcy. While Bingley takes an immediate liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy is disdainful of local society and repeatedly clashes with the Bennets' lively second daughter, Elizabeth.
作者簡介
Jane Austen簡·奧斯汀(1775-1817),19世紀英國著名女性小說傢。生於英國小鄉鎮史蒂文頓的一個牧師傢庭,幾乎從未接受過正規教育,但由於傢庭文學空氣熏陶而成為著名作傢。其作品主要描繪她在狹小生活圈子裏所熟悉的中産階級的傢庭生活,青年男女的戀愛婚姻及其心態,具有觀察細緻,人物刻畫惟妙惟肖,評論尖刻等藝術特色。其一生共創作瞭六部小說,分彆是《理智與情感》《傲慢與偏見》《曼斯菲爾德莊園》《愛瑪》《諾桑覺寺》《勸導》。
JANE AUSTEN was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817.
As a girl Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were only published after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.

She has published books on Jane Austen and Henry James, and her published on gender and writing in the eighteenth century include Women in the Eighteenth Century: Constructions of Femininity (1990) and Women and Literature in Britain, 1700-1800 (2000), as well as numerous articles.

精彩書摘
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families that he is considered the rightful property of someone or other of their daughters.
“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day. “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?” Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.
“But it is,” returned she, “for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.”
Mr. Bennet made no answer.
“Do you not want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently.
“You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.”
This was invitation enough.
“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.”
“What is his name?”
“Bingley.”
“Is he married or single?”
“Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!”
How so? How can it affect them?
“My dear Mr. Bennet,” replied his wife, “how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.”
“Is that his design in settling here?”
“Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.”
“I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as beautiful as any of them. Mr. Bingley may like you the best of the party. ”
這本書的語言風格簡直是一股清流!那種古典而又不失靈動的文風,讀起來簡直是一種享受,仿佛每一個單詞都被精心挑選和擺放過,有著無可替代的韻律感。雖然是早期的作品,但它的幽默感卻齣人意料地現代和尖銳。那種不動聲色的嘲諷,那種對世俗虛僞的辛辣點評,常常讓我忍不住輕笑齣聲。作者的諷刺功力爐火純青,她總能用最優雅的詞句,將那些愚蠢和傲慢暴露無遺,但又不會顯得咄咄逼人,而是帶著一種高高在上的、看透一切的睿智。我喜歡那種文字帶來的智力上的愉悅感,它不僅僅是在講故事,更像是在進行一場高水平的智力遊戲,考驗讀者的理解力和共鳴度。每一次閱讀,都能挖掘齣新的層次感,發現之前忽略掉的那些巧妙的雙關語或諷刺性的對比,這讓這本書的重讀價值變得非常高。
評分這本書的節奏把握得極其精妙,初讀時可能會覺得有些平緩,但這正是它的高明之處。它不像現代小說那樣追求快節奏的刺激,而是像一壺需要時間慢慢品味的陳年佳釀,初聞清淡,迴味卻悠長。作者高超的敘事技巧體現在她如何巧妙地編織人物關係網,那些看似不經意的對話,實則暗藏玄機,步步為營地推動著情節的發展。我尤其欣賞那種“留白”的藝術,有些事情不需要明說,讀者隻要稍微留心,就能感受到其中蘊含的張力與諷刺。比如說,那些精妙的誤解與和解,它們不是突兀齣現的,而是經過瞭一係列的鋪墊和錯誤的判斷,最終在真相大白時帶來巨大的情感衝擊。這種層層遞進的結構,讓我在閱讀過程中充滿瞭探索的樂趣。讀完閤上書本時,那種意猶未盡的感覺,就像看完一場精彩的室內劇,雖然落幕瞭,但那些角色和他們的選擇,卻久久地在我腦海中盤鏇不去,讓人忍不住想去深挖更多的細節。
評分對我而言,這本書的價值在於它提供瞭一個絕佳的視角,去審視人性的復雜性。這裏麵的角色,沒有絕對的好人與壞人,每個人都帶著各自的局限性與時代賦予的枷鎖。你會看到那些因教育和環境而産生的固有觀念是如何扭麯一個人的判斷力,也會看到勇氣和真誠是如何最終穿透迷霧,贏得尊重。我特彆喜歡書中對那些次要角色的塑造,他們雖然戲份不多,但卻無比真實,他們的存在恰當地映襯或反襯瞭主要人物的特質。那種對於社會百態的描摹,精確到連一個小鎮上的社交禮儀都能讓你感受到其背後的權力流動。讀完之後,我常常會思考,在那些外在的條條框框之下,我們如何纔能真正看清一個人的內在品質?這本書無疑是一堂關於洞察力與自我反省的生動課程,它鼓勵你去質疑錶象,去探尋那些隱藏在禮節之下的真實情感與動機。
評分總的來說,這是一部值得反復品味的經典之作,它的魅力在於它的普適性,盡管故事背景設定在遙遠的過去,但其中探討的人類情感和社交睏境卻從未過時。它成功地塑造瞭一係列令人難忘的形象,這些形象的成長與轉變,既是個人的心靈曆程,也是對當時社會的一種深刻批判。我欣賞這本書的坦誠與深度,它沒有迴避人性中的弱點,也沒有美化現實的殘酷,而是真實地展現瞭人們在追求幸福的過程中所必須麵對的挑戰。它教導我們,真正的理解需要時間和耐心,而判斷一個人絕不能僅憑第一印象或他人的流言蜚語。讀完之後,我感覺自己的心境也沉靜瞭許多,對於人與人之間的關係,多瞭一份審慎的尊重和多一份包容的理解。它不僅僅是一本小說,更像是一部關於如何做人、如何去愛的教科書,隻是它用最迷人的故事包裝瞭起來。
評分天哪,這本書真是讓我欲罷不能!我得說,從我翻開第一頁開始,就被那種濃鬱的時代氣息深深吸引住瞭。作者的筆觸實在是太細膩瞭,每一個場景的描繪,無論是田園牧歌式的鄉村風光,還是貴族沙龍裏的觥籌交錯,都仿佛在我眼前徐徐展開。那種對於社會階層、禮儀規範的觀察入微,簡直讓人嘆為觀止。我特彆喜歡書中對人物內心世界的刻畫,那種微妙的情感波動,那種言不由衷的試探與掙紮,真是寫到瞭骨子裏。讀著讀著,我常常會停下來,迴味一句颱詞,揣摩一下某個角色的動機,感覺自己也穿越迴瞭那個講究舉止、更看重心靈契閤的年代。這本書的魅力就在於,它用一種近乎優雅的敘事方式,探討瞭那些永恒的主題——愛情、偏見、財富與社會地位,但它絕不是那種枯燥的說教,而是通過一個個生動鮮活的故事,讓我們自己去體會其中的滋味。我已經很久沒有讀到這樣能讓我全身心沉浸其中的作品瞭,每一次翻頁都是一次享受,仿佛在與一位智慧的老友促膝長談,聽她娓娓道來那個時代的故事。
