Autor

Jane Austen (1775-1817) stands as one of the most revered novelists in the English literary canon, celebrated for her keen observations of the British landed gentry at the turn of the nineteenth century. Born on December 16, 1775, in Steventon, Hampshire, Austen lived much of her life in the English countryside, which provided the backdrop for her six major novels. Austen's novels, noted for their wit, irony, and social commentary, have been studied extensively for their insight into the lives and struggles of women in her era. 'Orgueil et Préjugés' (Pride and Prejudice), translated here as a bilingual edition in French and English, remains one of her most beloved works. Written with a biting satirical voice, Austen examines themes such as manners, morality, education, and marriage, as seen through the turbulent romance between Elizabeth Bennet and the enigmatic Mr. Darcy. Austen's novel has transcended its initial publication in 1813 to become an enduring literary masterpiece, subject to countless adaptations and scholarly discourse. Despite living her life in relative anonymity and publishing anonymously, Jane Austen's works have gained posthumous fame, securing her a place among the literary giants. Her penetrating narrative style and her role in pioneering the domestic novel genre solidify her legacy in the study of English literature.
