First I must confess that I love to read. This means that I have and will continue to read anything and everything. Yet I will always return to the classics for they offer not only entertainment but also and opportunity to go back to a finer time, as Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is a perfect example of. I enjoy the characters and am always left with a longing for a time when honour and respectability was important and where reputations were to be protected. As for Mr. Darcy, I confess like so many women before myself I find him to be a delightful male character and wish that more men in today's society had his character. I recommend this book to everyone (  ) kskristine | May 17, 2022 |  Only a woman can truly depict her own sense and feeling of the other women. She’s the one allowed to put critics of herself if needed or wanted, not the men. ( ) tonimeter | May 13, 2022 | Cuesta arriba. Aprovechando que los últimos veranos he leído obras más clásicas de lo que me es habitual, y también que recurrentemente me sobreviene la necesidad de rellenar agujeros formativos, me he enfrentado durante casi un mes a este libro con llanto y rechinar de dientes. No es fácil salir de la zona de confort. Por otra parte, Darcy: una persona hecha a sí misma que recela de esos comportamientos artificiales y que es mostrado a lo largo de la obra como un ser abyecto que jamás podrá tener el cariño de nadie si no se traga el corsé entero y sin lubricar. Cabreo aumentando. Entiendo que todo esto es solo la pista de despegue para la intención original de la autora, que es mostrar el contraste del comportamiento individualista y crítico de la protagonista (y de su padre a ratos) con respecto a la enorme charada en la que viven. Debió ser un revulsivo importante para las sociedades bienpensantes británica y francesa en la que alcanzó sus mayores éxitos en vida de la autora. Sin embargo, en mi humilde opinión, es una pista de despegue demasiado larga y con más floripondios de los que soy capaz de digerir. Quizá soy hijo de mi tiempo y me he vuelto incapaz de consumir textos largos en estilos enrevesados, pero una cucharada más de ilustrativa vacuidad me hubiera reventado el bazo. El libro podría reducirse a una cuarta parte (de hecho su última cuarta parte es sublime y merecedora de que me quite la peluca en su presencia) sin perder la fuerza del mensaje y ahorrándonos el dolor de las continuas descripciones de bailes, cenas, horas del té, y eternas conversaciones sobre encontrar marido. Que a lo mejor era todo muy necesario, no digo que no, pero a este asno la miel se le ha atragantado. (  ) tecniferio | May 12, 2022 | Tells the story of fiercely independent Elizabeth Bennet, one of five sisters who must marry rich, as she confounds the arrogant, wealthy Mr. Darcy. What ensues is one of the most delightful and engrossingly readable courtships known to literature, written by a precocious Austen when she was just twenty-one years old. Humorous and profound, and filled with highly entertaining dialogue, this witty comedy of manners dips and turns through drawing-rooms and plots to reach an immensely satisfying finale.As 'irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be. ( ) Gmomaj | May 9, 2022 | Obviously a great book. The characters are brilliant - the awful mother, the negligent father, the flighty Kitty... The story is full of twists and turns but of course comes to a satisfying and happy conclusion. Its a great comfort reading and was a lot of fun to discuss at book club.

 [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.
