Pride and Prejudice [Audible Studios]

By: Jane Austen
Narrated by: Lindsay Duncan

Publisher's summary

"His perfect indifference, and your pointed dislike, make it so delightfully absurd!"

Pride and Prejudice has delighted generations of readers with its unforgettable cast of characters, carefully choreographed plot, and a hugely entertaining view of the world and its absurdities. With the arrival of eligible young men in their neighbourhood, the lives of Mr and Mrs Bennet and their five daughters are turned inside out and upside down. Pride encounters prejudice, upward-mobility confronts social disdain, and quick-wittedness challenges sagacity, as misconceptions and hasty judgements lead to heartache and scandal, but eventually to true understanding, self-knowledge, and love. In this supremely satisfying story, Jane Austen balances comedy with seriousness, and witty observation with profound insight. If Elizabeth Bennet returns again and again to her letter from Mr Darcy, readers of the novel are drawn even more irresistibly by its captivating wisdom.

Excellent narrator, lovely story.

The narrator was great, did lots of different voices and made the story come alive. Can’t give this enough stars, and I hope Lindsey Duncan will record more Jane Austen soon.

Fantastic performance

Best audio version of this masterpiece! The lively performance by Duncan really brought everyone to life. I’ve read Pride and Prejudice at least seven times, and this audio version really captures the humor with which Lizzie Bennet carries herself.

Wonderful!

I thoroughly enjoyed the words and the reading. Now I'm sad it's over. It's a great book to escape into.

I love the furthering of the story from any movie

It is so good! Will read it again I love the depiction of the life of the era. I wish there was s little more explanation on the counties but I understand it was written for England and for people of that era so some of the ‘everyday’ things don’t need explanations. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Wonderful Story

Well preformed, I have always enjoyed this book but have never had it read. It was very entertaining
I had watched the movie and they never compared to the book themselves.

Fabulous Narrator

The narrator brought this classic book alive. Although I have read many times, this is my first time using audible. It was a fabulous experience. I can’t recommend this book enough. The character’s just came alive and I liked using audible so much!!! Enjoy.
