Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Traditional Chinese with Pinyin
Pride and Prejudice, first published on 28 January 1813, is the most
famous of Jane Austen's novels and one of the first "romantic comedies"
in the history of the novel.
Elizabeth Bennet is the perfect Austen
heroine: intelligent, generous, sensible, incapable of jealousy or any
other major sin. That makes her sound like an insufferable goody-goody,
but the truth is she's a completely hip character, who if provoked is
not above skewering her antagonist with a piece of her exceptionally
sharp -- but always polite -- 18th century wit. The point is, you spend
the whole book absolutely fixated on the critical question: will
Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy marry?
