One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl).

Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

A coming-of-age tale for the young and naïve 17-year-old Catherine Morland, Northanger Abbey takes a decidedly comical look at themes of class, family, love and literature.

Born to the ranks of the lower English gentry in 1775, Jane Austen led what some have mistakenly described as an ordinary and unremarkable life - a life that ended all too soon at the age of 41.

Elizabeth Bennet is niet van plan genoegen te nemen met zomaar een man en een leven dat niet voldoet aan haar eigen voorwaarden. Ze wil trouwen uit liefde, dansen wanneer zij daar zin in heeft en een rustig plekje voor zichzelf om te lezen, wat misschien nog wel de grootste uitdaging zal zijn. Maar als ze wordt voorgesteld aan de rijke en compleet onuitstaanbare meneer Darcy, komt alles wat ze zeker dacht te weten op losse schroeven te staan.
