(Language: English)
A book that I thought that I should start reading some clasical litrature. A sharp and witty comedy of manners played out in early 19th Century English society, a world in which men held virtually all the power and women were required to negotiate mine-fields of social status, respectability, wealth, love, and sex in order to marry both to their own liking and to the advantage of their family. Flawless prose, crackling wit, good drama, fully developed characters and a perfect plotline make this the best novel in the English language.
