Publisher's Synopsis
La historia de las hermanas Bennet, conlleva un padre indolente, una madre histerica e irresponsable, la presencia elegante y varonil de Fitzwilliam Darcy, y un plantel de secundarios absolutamente deliciosos. No es de sorprender que causara de inmediato un tremendo revuelo en los cenaculos literarios de Londres, donde se valoro muy positivamente la novela. Elizabeth Bennet ya no es la damisela invalida, es una mujer inteligente, independiente, critica, maliciosa, divertida, sensata, aventurera y sincera. Se divierte con las tonterias a las que se ven abocados sus coetaneos por las imposiciones sociales, no le importa demasiado quedarse soltera, se burla del amor a primera vista, aprende de sus errores, es implacable con las cadenas sociales que atenazan a sus congeneres y asume desde el principio que ella es la duena de su vida. Hoy parece poca cosa, pero hace doscientos anos todas las muchachas de Inglaterra aprendieron, con Elizabeth Bennet, a decir que -no- y que se tomara como un -no-, a no sentirse arrastradas por una madre absurda, a no sentirse intimidadas por el poder, la clase o el dinero, a respetarse a si mismas y a presentarse ante el mundo sin nada de lo que avergonzarse. Description in English: The story of the Bennet sisters, features an indolent father, a hysterical and irresponsible mother, the elegant and manly presence of Fitzwilliam Darcy, and a staff of absolutely delicious secondary characters. It is not surprising that it immediately caused a tremendous stir in the literary circles of London, where the novel was assessed very positively. Elizabeth Bennet is not the typical null damsel, she's an intelligent, independent, critical, malicious, funny, sensible, adventurous and sincere woman. She has fun with the nonsense to which her peers are doomed with by social constraints, she does not care too remain single, makes fun of love at first sight, learns from her mistakes, she is relentless with social networks that plague her peers and she assumes from the start that she is the owner of her life. Today it seems little thing, but two hundred years ago all the girls in England learned to say 'no' thanks to Elizabeth Bennet, and to be taken as a no, not to feel swept away by an absurd mother, to not to feel intimidated by power, class or money, to respect themselves and to stand before the world with nothing to be ashamed of.
