Jane Austen - 2 Books in 1

In the satiric love story Pride & Prejudice, Jane Austen portrays her heroine Lydia Bennet as an intelligent and spiritedly free-wheeling young women, attracted to a proud and wealthy man against whom she is intensely prejudiced from the very beginning of their association. Austens colourful characters living in a small English Country village are life-like the cynic Mr. Collins et al. Whilst Austens abhorrence is reserved for the un ladylike conduct of one women, or the blockheaded oafishness of another character, she heaps accolades on the very British proclivity towards decent deportment & good common sense. Highly acclaimed pride & prejudice is in remarkable contrast with typically violent thrillers or extremely sentimental novels of her era.
