Jane Austen's iconic novel has been screened numerous times and is on lists of the greatest books of all time. What makes the story of the relationship between the clever and proud Elizabeth Bennet and the equally proud Mr. Darcy so popular?
England, late 18th century. The parents of the five Bennet sisters are preoccupied with successfully marrying off their daughters. The family's sedate life is turned upside down when a young gentleman, Mr. Bingley, appears in the neighborhood. Among the friends of the new neighbor is a number of refined aristocrats who are not averse to courting the charming sisters. The willful Elizabeth meets the handsome and arrogant Mr. Darcy. Between them a serious confrontation breaks out, the result of which can be both love and hate. Will they be able to overcome all the disagreements and misunderstandings? And yet, what for several centuries makes readers laugh and cry, tremble with anger and rejoice? At first glance, Pride and Prejudice is a love story. However, it is also a hilarious comedy, a story of growing up, a social critique, and a philosophical parable. The novel is extremely witty. Subtle humor and elegant style of presentation do not allow it to lose its inimitable charm and brilliance. Numerous dramatic twists and turns do not let you tear yourself away from reading. In addition, every page is imbued with the spirit of England.

With great skill of a true artist, she reveals the spiritual life of characters, delves into the causes and motivations. To follow how the character changes under the influence of these or those events is incredibly fascinating.
