Pride and Prejudice

For more than 200 years, "Pride and Prejudice" has remained one of the best 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 at just 21 years old, revolutionizing literature and proving that women have the right to be writers. Walter Scott said about her: "The creator of the modern novel, whose events are centered around the everyday fabric of human life and the condition of contemporary society". Artist Evgenia Melnikova is close in age to Jane Austen at the time of writing "Pride and Prejudice", which makes her illustrations resonate so well with the spirit of the novel, while also being independent and original.
