Overview
Introducción de Tony Tanner, profesor de la Universidad de Cambridge.
Traducción de Ana Mª Rodríguez.
A lo largo de una trama que discurre con gran ritmo y precisión, Jane Austen reúne una galería de personajes característicos de toda una época: la dama empeñada en casar a sus hijas con el mejor partido de la región, las hermanas que se debaten con sus vaivenes sentimentales, el clérigo adulador que peca de oportunista... El estudio de caracteres y el análisis de las relaciones humanas basadas en la costumbre, elementos esenciales de la narrativa de la autora, alcanzan en Orgullo y prejuicio cotas de maestría insuperable.
La presente edición incluye una detallada cronología de la autora. Asimismo, recupera la introducción original en Penguin Clásicos de Tony Tanner, que desarrolló su carrera como catedrático de literatura inglesa y norteamericana en la Universidad de Cambridge, y cuyas agudas reflexiones sobre Jane Austen son la mejor guía para adentrarse en el universo literario de esta autora.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Originally published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice is one of the masterpieces of English literature of all time.
Introduction by Tony Tanner, professor at the University of Cambridge.
Translation by Ana Mª Rodríguez.
Throughout a plot that unfolds with great pace and precision, Jane Austen brings together a gallery of characters characteristic of an entire era: the lady determined to marry off her daughters to the best match in the region, the sisters who struggle with their emotional ups and downs, the flattering clergyman who sins by being opportunistic... The study of character and the analysis of human relationships based on custom—essential elements of the author’s narrative—reach in Pride and Prejudice heights of unsurpassed mastery.
This edition includes a detailed chronology of the author. It also restores the original introduction from Penguin Clásicos by Tony Tanner, who developed his career as a professor of English and American literature at the University of Cambridge, and whose sharp reflections on Jane Austen are the best guide to entering the literary universe of this author.
