Darcy is peremptorily dismissed - 'the last man in the world I could be prevailed upon to marry' - whereupon, in one of English literature's sublime volte-faces, Elizabeth is compelled to realize that hasty first impressions are not always the truest. Pride and Prejudice is'probably Jane Austen's best-loved work and certainly her most popular. In its sparkling comedy of love and marriage, wit, form and feeling achieve a perfect balance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note this copy has light creases on the cover and light fading on the edges of the covers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780140238211\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: \u003cspan tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Text Text__body3\"\u003eP\u003cspan itemprop=\"bookFormat\"\u003eaperback\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan itemprop=\"numberOfPages\"\u003e346 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"numberOfPages\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher:\u003cspan tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Text Text__body3\"\u003e Penguin Books\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYear: 1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B - Good Condition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47207885602972,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/1597\/0972\/files\/prideandcollinfurth_2.jpg?v=1784192844"},{"product_id":"daisy-miller-and-other-stories","title":"Daisy Miller and Other Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHenry James' short novel \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDaisy Miller\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e enjoyed a great \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003esucces de scandale\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e when it was first published in 1879, dealing as it does with the contrast between old and new world values.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmerican Daisy Miller visits Europe with her mother and finds that her freshness and innocence are misinterpreted as immodesty and forwardness.
