When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life. This Penguin Classics edition, based on Austen's first edition, contains the original Penguin Classics introduction by Tony Tanner and an updated introduction and notes by Viven Jones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCautions:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15+\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Storyglory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47892854931778,"sku":"FAUSTEJA____PRIDEANDPREJUDICEPEN9780141439518","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/3457\/4658\/products\/Pride_and_Prejudice_02349696-31b8-4982-87e9-caa10f60a042.jpg?v=1709056869"},{"product_id":"9780060608521","title":"Life Together, by Dietrich Bonhoeffer","description":"\u003cp\u003e(Paperback, 128 pages, first published in 1939)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom one of the most widely-influential Christian writers of all time – German theologian and anti-Nazi dissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer – now the subject of a major motion picture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamed Lutheran pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s \u003cem\u003eLife Together \u003c\/em\u003eis a bold and daring look at Christian life, and what cross-centered living can look like for all believers.
