Pride and Prejudice

De: Jane Austen

Narrado por: Rosalyn Landor

In this classic 19th-century story of love battling pride, we meet Elizabeth Bennet. Elizabeth is a smart, well-rounded woman, and she is one of five unmarried daughters of Mr. Bennet, a country gentleman. Marriage is at the forefront Mrs. Bennet's mind, especially since her elderly husband's estate will not pass down to any of their daughters.

The Bennets' small town is in an uproar when two highborn, eligible gentlemen, Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy, come to stay. Mr. Bingley takes an instant liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane. Elizabeth's prideful self does not realize her life is about to change when she meets the intolerable Mr. Darcy, who will make her question her sensibilities.

Excellence!

I’m a great admirer of Andrew Davies’ PBS version of Pride and Prejudice. Listening to the book adds more depth & in Austen’s actual words, explains some situations that were excluded or presented in a different way. He was true to the book but I have just RE-lived Colin Firth & Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth & Darcy again!! They were just fabulous!!
What a great romantic story!!

Rosalyn Landor nails it!

Jane Austen hides a lot of humor and observation in her sentences. I own and have listened to a good number of wonderful narrators. But Rosalyn Landor is the first to get it right. To tell the romance story while also letting the observations of human folly be told. A gem!

One of the best performances.

Easy to listen to. All voices are good. probably the best performance of the male parts.

A classic…

This is beautifully read. The narrator does such a wonderful job reading this literary classic.

love this book.

the lady reading it did a wonderful job. a classic and beautiful as always. I highly recommend it

Pleasantly surprised

I never read the book or had any idea what it was about. I bought the audio book on a whim because it's a classic (for whatever that is worth) and was on sale, but wow. I was immediately drawn into the story and the performance was fantastic. The story was far more interesting than I could have ever expected and I can't identify why.

A favorite storytelling

Well done. Good rendition of my favorite book. I listen to it on a regular basis.

How many Stars can I give!

One thousand...One million...never enough! Sublime perfection by the best author ever. Brought to life by Roslyn Landor this presentation rivals the 1995 BBC gold standard film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Jane Austen herself could not but approve!
5 solid stars!

My favorite book.

Rosalyn Landor is one of my most favorite narrators. Each character has his own voice and all feelings come through in her reading.

I have various audio versions of this story along with various hard copies. I have to say this is my best listen.

Excellent listen

Who doesn’t love Pride and Prejudice? It’s been a hot minute since I’ve read it but I greatly enjoyed listening to Miss Landors performance. I’ll be returning to this version again I know!
