Pride and Prejudice

For more than 200 years, «Pride and Prejudice» has remained one of the finest examples of Victorian literature, maintaining its freshness and wit for the modern reader. This psychologically complex and at the same time subtly ironic novel was written by Jane Austen when she was only 21, revolutionizing literature by proving that a woman has the right to be a writer. Walter Scott said of her: «The creator of the modern novel, whose events are focused on the everyday structure of human life and the state of contemporary society.»
