Pride and Prejudice. Austin (Osten) J.

The books of the famous English writer Jane Austin have long gained fame and reader love around the world. The everyday life of ordinary people, the details of the provincial life - this is the sphere of its writing interests. However, the sharp mind, sparkling humor and a thin all -pervasive irony give the works of Austin grace and depth. Above the novel "Pride and Prejudice" the writer began work at 21. The publishers rejected the manuscript, and it lay under the raid for more than fifteen years.

Only after the success of the novel “Feeling and Sensitivity”, Jane Austin was able to release his “Favorite Chatter”. Before publication, she subjected it to thorough processing and reached an extraordinary combination of merryness, immediacy, and maturity of thought and skill. It is no coincidence that the novel “Pride and Prejudice”, which has not yet lost its charm and brilliance, is considered the most perfect of everything that Jane Austin wrote. Among the numerous film adaptations of the novel, we can note the wonderful 1995 series, shot by director Simon Langton (the main roles were played by Colin Feunt and Jennifer El).

In this edition, the text of the novel is published in the canonical translation of Immanuel Samoilovich Marshak.
