Autor: Jane Austenová, Tanya Landman

Žánr: Cizojazyčná literatura > English literature > Fiction and Literature > Children and Teens > Middle Grade

A beloved classic adult novel skilfully abridged to inspire and engage a new generation of middle-grade readers, from a Carnegie Medal-winning author."It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."When two wealthy young men move to the neighbourhood, Mrs Bennet – mother to five unmarried daughters – is thrilled. Surely it is only a matter of time before one of her girls is snapped up! But the course of love does not always run smooth. While Jane and Mr Bingley seem destined for one another, there are those who would wish it otherwise; while Elizabeth and Mr Darcy do not seem destined for one another, somehow their paths must always cross... Then there are Lydia and Kitty, the silliest and vainest of the Bennet sisters, keen to attract the wickedly attractive Mr Wickham and his military comrades. Love is in the air – but where will it all end?
