Beschreibung

When Elizabeth Bennet first met Mr. Darcy, she found him proud, distant, and rude—despite the other ladies' admiration of his estate in Derbyshire and ten thousand pounds a year. But what was Mr. Darcy thinking?
Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice has long stood among the most beloved novels of all time. The story of Elizabeth Bennet's blossoming romance with "haughty, reserved, and fastidious" Fitzwilliam Darcy has enchanted readers for nearly two centuries. Yet, Mr. Darcy has always remained an intriguing enigma—his thoughts, feelings, and motivations hidden behind a cold, impenetrable exterior . . . until now.
With the utmost respect for Austen's original masterwork, author Janet Aylmer loving retells Pride and Prejudice from a bold new perspective: seeing events as they transpire through the eyes of Darcy himself. One of world's great love stories takes on breathtaking new life, and one of fiction's greatest romantic heroes becomes even more sympathetic, compelling, attractive, and accessible, all through the imagination and artistry of a truly gifted storyteller.

From enjoyment alone I might have given this 5 stars, but I have ro admit that it added too few new things to the story and whole dialogs are exact copies of P&P. (Edit: What the heck, I'm just giving every book that "feels like a 5 star" to me the appropriate rating now. Critique still stands, and that's ok.) However, this also means that it is incredibly faithful to the original, portraying all the charactera accordingly and even the writing style is designed to match Jane Austen's. It also explains enough to be read by people that haven't read P&P for a long time or at all. I absolutely loved the writing, enjoyed really experiencing how Darcy felt for Lizzy, but wished there was more insight about Darcys life, especially in the first half.
