Pride and Prejudice. Osten J.

“And I would willingly forgive him his pride if he had not wounded mine.” Osten began work on the novel, which was called "First impressions" when she was barely 21 years old. For fourteen years after this, the book was not in demand with publishers who believed in literary talent only after the success of “feelings and sensitivity”.

Since then, the novel has tens of adaptations, and the story about the proud heir (according to Modern standards only of the interest of Mr. Darcy would make up $ 18 million annually) and a smart charming girl served as inspiration for many writers.
