The Penguin English Library Edition of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen 'No sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes ...' 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 the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

Tragicky smutné bývá umírání člověka, kterého už jeho okolí odepsalo, nikdo se s ním nebaví, nikdo ho nebere vážně a nakonec je poslán do nemocnice - umřít. Nové světlo - vpravdě křesťanské - vnáší do této problematiky autorka tohoto spisu: těžce nemocného a zvláště umírajícího je třeba brát vážně a věnovat mu celou naši pozornost. Jenom tak dáme dozrát jeho osobnosti a jenom tak dozrajeme i sami do větší plnosti lásky.
