2 copies: one paperback; the other an ebook on my ipad (obtained Nov. 2018). This is not for me. Austen is admittedly and justly a famous author...My ranking is just my enjoyment of this book, not its worth. As a classic, it deserves a place as a very important book. However, my dislike of nineteenth century high society Britain, of nattering about politesse and what is appropriate or not, and the opinions of an upper class woman about who is an appropriate husband/ what makes a man a good catch just leave me cold. The anti-heroes also seem to be cardboard cutout figures: if you know what would put someone in a bad light, then that is what any particular negative character will do! Granted, the sycophant is well distinguished from the controlling and opinionated higher society woman, but my objection still stands: what would a sycophant do here? Then he does exactly that. The shrewish woman who bosses everyone around? Well, what could she do badly and she does just that! The man of evil but charming character? Well, once again, he does not vary from what such a man will always do. Too harsh? Probably...but like I said, this is just not my type of writing. Brilliantly done? Sure, on many levels...still do not want to read another book like it. (  ) thedenathome | May 15, 2020 |  It was more or less what I expected, which is not a good thing. I had hoped that a classic piece of literature that seems so well regarded would have something for all readers. That was definitely not the case for me. My dislike is almost entirely due to the subject matter, which I found incredibly tiresome. The one thing I got from reading this is that it is a book mainly about whiny, snooty bitches and their schemes to get married to rich men. I found nothing worthwhile here. All that said, I will freely admit that for those that are into all of the romance, this might be an enjoyable story. After reading some of the other reviews for this book, I get the impression that there is some humor to be found if you are familiar with the historical context. Sadly, that is not the case for me, and I fear I did not gain any enjoyment from that aspect of the story either.

I mean, what is there to say. I loved it. It was hard to read sometimes due to its density, but the end absolutely warmed my heart and I'm totally about to sit in bed and watch the Keira Knightley movie. (  ) rachelreading | Apr 21, 2020 | Welp, this one goes right onto the Absolute Favorite Novels list, most definitely. It's rare that I read a passage in a book that is so good I actually and honestly close said book, hug it to my chest, and sigh with literary happiness, but Darcy and Lizzie are so happy-sigh worthy and I'm equally in love with them both. All the characters are so excellently crafted, the story skips along at a perfect pace, and the writing is quality gorgeous. I. Loved. It.

 [Recensionen gäller en nyöversättning gjord av Gun-Britt Sundström] ...men ”Stolthet och fördom” är en glad roman, tack vare Elizabeth Bennets frejdiga humör och relativa frispråkighet. I Gun-Britt Sundströms nyöversättning ges gott om utrymme för tvetydigheten i hennes repliker, för skrattet som bubblar under ytan.  [Recensionen gäller en nyöversättning gjord av Gun-Britt Sundström] När jag läser Sundströms översättning blir det för första gången tydligt för mig hur skickligt Austen tryfferar romanen med små överdrifter, sarkasmer, nålstick av spydighet, utan att läsaren för den skull tappar engagemanget i intrigen. Humorn gäller särskilt gestaltningen av bokens karikatyrer, Elizabeths ytliga och giriga mamma mrs Bennet och den fjäskige och inbilske mr Collins, den släkting som aspirerar på att överta familjegodset. In Pride and Prejudice, Austen turned up the dial that controls the temperature of comedy, giving it some of the fever of what we would now call romance... For Elizabeth Bennet is the most frictionlessly adorable Heroine in the corpus – by some distance. And, as for the Hero, well, Miss Austen, for once in her short life, held nothing back: tall, dark, handsome, brooding, clever, noble, and profoundly rich...No reader can resist the brazen wishfulness of Pride and Prejudice, but it is clear from internal evidence alone that Austen never fully forgave herself for it... Pride and Prejudice suckers you. Amazingly – and, I believe, uniquely – it goes on suckering you. Even now, as I open the book, I feel the same tizzy of unsatisfied expectation, despite five or six rereadings. How can this be, when the genre itself guarantees consummation? The simple answer is that these lovers really are ‘made for each other’ – by their creator. They are constructed for each other: interlocked for wedlock. Their marriage has to be. Satírica, antirromántica, profunda y mordaz a un tiempo, la obra de Jane Austen nace de la observación de la vida doméstica y de un profundo conocimiento de la condición humana. Orgullo y prejuicio ha fascinado a generaciones de lectores por sus inolvidables personajes y su desopilante retrato de una sociedad, la Inglaterra victoriana y rural, tan contradictoria como absurda. Con la llegada del rico y apuesto señor Darcy a su región, las vidas de los Bennet y sus cinco hijas se vuelven del revés. El orgullo y la distancia social, la astucia y la hipocresía, los malentendidos y los juicios apresurados abocan a los personajes al escándalo y al dolor, pero también a la comprensión, el conocimiento y el amor verdadero. Esta edición presenta al lector una nueva traducción al castellano que devuelve todo su esplendor al ingenio y la finísima ironía de la prosa de Austen.
