Inhaltsangabe

• The Best Dialogue • Favorite Scenes • Annotated for Plot Continuity Pride and Prejudice – Annotated and Abridged – The Best Dialogue and Narrative Parts is a highly edited version of the story. Pride and Prejudice is one of the most popular novels of all time. The delight of this story is the sparks, tension, impossibility-for- resolution, and the ill-fated-turned-to-euphoric relationship between the spirited, saucy, witty, Elizabeth Bennet and the aloof, arrogant Mr. Darcy. The dialogue between these two main characters is the thrust of the book. Some of Austen's pithy narrative is included in addition to dialogue. And, we have added our annotated narrative between the passages for plot continuity. Editing is very subjective. The language of Pride and Prejudice, eighteenth century English is beautiful. Of course some parts of the story are more compelling than other parts. We have chosen to focus mainly on the two main amoureux. Some subplots are covered in a sentence or two. Pride and Prejudice in its entirety is a masterpiece. However, for the reader who wants to admire the jewels, it can be argued that this edited version has a place. How could anyone dare to edit what is considered to be one of the best books ever written? We of the 21st Century have a shorter attention span. We are used to reading a lot online that is reduced to bullet points. Far better to read some of Pride and Prejudice than none of it...
