Dans les salons et les salles de bal du Regency England, la réputation est primordiale et l'amour est rarement simple. Lorsque l'intelligente Elizabeth Bennet rencontre le réservé et fortuné M.

Elizabeth perçoit de l'arrogance là où Darcy se considère simplement comme prudent et les malentendus se transforment rapidement en préjugés de part et d'autre.

Orgullo y prejuicio fue publicada por primera vez en 1813 y ha sido considerada una de las mejores novelas de Jane Austen.

Todo ello aderezado de un padre un poco excéntrico, una madre que roza el ridículo en sus ansias para casar a sus hijas, unas hermanas con caracteres muy diferentes y una auténtica colección de pretendientes interesados.
