Following Jane from her childhood as an orphan in Northern England through her experience as a governess at Thornfield Hall, Charlotte Brontë's Gothic classic is an early exploration of women's independence in the mid-19th century and the pervasive societal challenges women had to endure. At Thornfield, Jane meets the complex and mysterious Mr. Rochester, with whom she shares a complicated relationship that ultimately forces her to reconcile the conflicting passions of romantic love and religious piety.

Histoire
Attachante et nostalgique, "Persuasion" est sans doute l'œuvre la plus personnelle de l'auteur. Sous le vernis d'un genre, chacune des phrases de Jane Austen attaque les conventions, traque les ridicules et finit avec une grâce exquise par pulvériser la morale bourgeoise, sans avoir l'air d'y toucher. Les héroïnes de Jane Austen lui ressemblent : elles aiment les potins mais détestent les bavardages, la grossièreté et la vulgarité. La pudeur, le tact, la discrétion, l'humour sont les seules convenances qu'elles reconnaissent... Et si Jane Austen mène les jeunes filles au mariage, il faut souhaiter au mari d'être à la hauteur !

Little Women itself “has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Lucy can't understand Joshua's joyless, uptight approach to his job and refusal to smile. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucy's overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and desire to be liked. Now they're up for the same promotion, and Lucy, usually a determined people pleaser, has had enough: it's time to take him down. But as the tension between Lucy and Joshua reaches its boiling point, it's clear that the real battle has only just begun....

Enthralled by his own exquisite portrait, Dorian Gray exchanges his soul for eternal youth and beauty. Influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton, he is drawn into a corrupt double life; indulging his desires in secret while remaining a gentleman in the eyes of polite society. Only his portrait bears the traces of his decadence. The novel was a succès de scandale, and the book was later used as evidence against Wilde at the Old Bailey in 1895. It has lost none of its power to fascinate and disturb.

Description
One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.
In Pride and Prejudice, the Bennet sisters try to find their way in the repressive strictures of 19th-century society. Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and the experience of falling in love, and she superbly describes a world which, despite being more than two centuries old, still resonates with modern concerns.
Commentaires
"British actress Rosamund Pike is the perfect choice to narrate this novel of manners, and listening to her voice each of the iconic characters is great fun.... Austen's many devotees will savor this first-rate version of her charming novel." ( AudioFile)

un livre que j'écoute encore et encore
J'avais découvert Orgueil et Préjugés grâce au feuilleton de la BBC (Jennifer Elhe, Colin Firth). Rosamund Pike a d'ailleurs joué Jane Bennet dans la version filmée de 2005 avec Keira Knightley et Matthew Macfadyen. Je l'ai beaucoup apprécié dans Gone Girl également. Sa voix est une compagne régulière à présent. Elle joue à merveille les personnages tant masculins que féminins et de diverses classes sociales. J'écoute ce livre en randonnant et parfois avant de m'endormir. Je recommande vivement ce livre! I discovered Pride and Prejudice through the BBC soap opera (Jennifer Elhe, Colin Firth). Rosamund Pike also played Jane Bennet in the 2005 filmed version with Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. I enjoyed her a lot in Gone Girl too. Her voice is a regular companion now. She plays beautifully both male and female characters of various social classes.I listen to this book while hiking and sometimes before falling asleep.I highly recommend this book!

Pronunciation and Perfection
All of Jane Austen's precise word choice and perfectly crafted dialogues are done so much justice by Ms. Pike. Unlike when we read, not one syllable is lost, not one word skimmed over in an audio version of this story. If you have read this novel many times, do not hesitate to listen to it. Ms. Pike's reading adds nuances and finesse that makes it as fresh as when you loved Pride and Prejudice for the first time.

"Uneducated woman manages to marry all five of her daughters to men they love and never gets thanked for it" is a decent book, tho it is slow and the characters and story seem extremely dull and shallow by today's standards. The writing is impecable and also makes up for all other defaults.

A Truth Universally Acknowledged
This is the fourth Audible version of P&P that I have purchased and listened to, and the first I have bothered to write a review of because it is by far the best. Rosamund Pike mispronounces a very few words, and sometimes goes overboard in her zeal to create separate, distinctive voices for each character, which sometimes (e.g., with Mr. Bingley's married sister Mrs Hurst) results in a female character sounding like a man), but overall is the most adept of all narrators of this beloved classic at allowing Austen's flawless prose to speak for itself. Her reading easily exceeds that of Alison Larkin (the 200th Anniversary Audio Edition), although that one is lively and entertaining, and includes music. The audio quality is far better than that of the version narrated by Lindsay Duncan, which, combined with Duncan's almost whispered Mrs Bennet voice, often makes that version difficult to listen to while driving. Pike's narration even exceeds that of Carolyn Seymour in the Blackstone Audio version, which until now was the most listenable of all.
Bravo, Rosamund Pike! And thank you, Audible! I will listen to this audiobook many, many times in the years to come!

A perfect narration of a perfect book
Where does Pride and Prejudice rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is the second edition of Pride and Prejudice that I purchased - I already have an older version (different narrator) and I am so glad that I saw Rosamund Pike's name and immediately bought this one. It is absolute perfection. It has long been one my favorite books but with her priceless narration if is certainly going to be on of the Beloved ones.
Which character – as performed by Rosamund Pike – was your favorite?
Practically all of them. She is a brilliant narrator with magnificent voice and managed to make even Mrs Bennet tolerable - not a small feat in itself. Her Mr Bennet is fantastic (actually I think she did it better than Sutherlend's performance in the 2005 movie) - she managed to subtly underline a hint of malevolence in his humor which I personally think is there and most people do not pay attention to.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me smile in sheer sensual pleasure all the time I listened to it (could not stop and listened through the night).
Any additional comments?
A wonderful audio book, simply wonderful. I hope this is not the last time I listen to something narrated by Rosamund Pike.

Smiling as I clean
Having loved the story since high school lit class, I have read my tattered copy of Pride & Prejudice nearly every year. I have etched out time to indulge in the long A & E movie version and when time eludes, enjoy the latest 2-hour version. Yet I have known that the vocabulary and its rightful owners had to be abridged and reassigned in the screenplays.
When I saw that Rosamund Pike (actress who portrayed Jane in latest movie) had recorded for Audible, I immediately put the book and a pair of headphones on my wish list.
Birthday gifts did not disappoint, and I have cleaned my house top to bottom, folded laundry, sat for a spell, all the while thoroughly enjoying this audio version. Ms Pike's voicings have made me smile and laugh out loud. Her Mr. Collins and Lady Catherine are hilarious. The encounters at Rosings were some of my favorites. What a treat to get the whole story in dramatic form. I feel satisfied and look forward to listening again and again.

Beautiful story, beautiful voice but . . .
Would you try another book from Jane Austen and/or Rosamund Pike?
Yes to Jane Austen, and no to Rosamund Pike.
What other book might you compare Pride and Prejudice to and why?
Sense and Sensibility
Would you be willing to try another one of Rosamund Pike’s performances?
No
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Yes
Any additional comments?
The book is one of my favorites, but Rosamund Pike with her beautiful voice didn't do it justice. Some of her character voices were pretty bad, and sometimes she talked so fast you couldn't enjoy the prose. I was disappointed in this particular audiobook because of her performance. I'm a fan but sorry, Ms. Pike.

Ear candy
Would you consider the audio edition of Pride and Prejudice to be better than the print version?
Not better necessarily, but as an American, it certainly adds to the feel of Jane Austen. So, actually, maybe yes, better than the print. Best if read while you listen to it!
What about Rosamund Pike’s performance did you like?
I mean...the moment she opens her mouth it's like silk. Trying to change my voice for our daughter every time I read a good book gets difficult, and tiring, and sometimes I forget which voice I used for which character. This is one of my favorite books everrrrrr, and so as not to spoil it for our 11-year-old, Rosamund delights the imagination as we read along.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, more like as background, but only because I've seen the movies and read the book repeatedly.

Almost A Perfect Performance
Rosamund Pike's voice was a great addition to the slew of Pride and Prejudice narrators. While her narrator voice is beautiful, and her main characters voices are lovely, her ancillary character voices are WEIRD. Watch out, Maria Lucas has a lisp. And a strange one at that.
At first her voices for these extras was pretty distracting, but I think Pike made up for it with how well she reads the rest of this novel of perfection.

The Best. Ever.
Move over favorite P&P! This offering is the best I've heard, hands down, plus I could picture them all as they were in the movie that Rosamund was in (playing Jane). I thought I was done with this book. Rosamund showed me otherwise. Austen's powers soar with this reading.

An exceptional narration of a great novel.
If you could sum up Pride and Prejudice in three words, what would they be?
Character, manners, and folly.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Elizabeth Bennet is the story.
What about Rosamund Pike’s performance did you like?
She gives a lively and nuanced reading, showing a well-known story in a fresh aspect.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, but I forced myself to go slower and enjoy the details.
Any additional comments?
I am familiar with P&P, and have the Lindsay Duncan performance, which I like, and had thought was the best available. Now I believe the Rosamund Pike narration is even better, more lively, subtle and interesting.

Wonderful ☆
A wonderful story beautifully read by a very talented actress. Rosamund Pike gives every character their own voice and makes them all come to life in a way that one wishes the story might never end. This recording is a brilliant interpretation of a novel I have treasured for a very long time. Jane Austen to this day remains one of the wittiest storytellers in literature and still brings great joy to her readers.
Thank you for this jewel! ♡

Klassiker...aber
die Sprecherin versaut den Hörgenuss durch affig übertriebene Stimmenimitation. Charlottes Schwester zum Beispiel wird ein übertriebenes Lispeln angetan, das einen fast zum Abschalten des Hörspiels treibt....

Klassiker
Dieser Roman hat für die schüchterne Jane Austen einen Platz in der Ewigkeit gesichert. Die Liebesgeschichte von Lizzy und Mr. Darcy bleibt unübertroffen. Ganz nebenbei gibt Jane Austen mit ihren Romanen einen Einblick in das Leben der jungen, reicheren Frauen um 1800.

Austen vom Feinsten
Wunderbar gelesen, spannend, romantisch und zu früh zu ende. Rosamund Pikes schöne Stimme und deutliche Aussprache einfach Begeisterungswürdig.

Absolute Empfehlung!
Dieses Buch ist ein absolutes Goldstück und Rosamund Pike liest es so schön vor. Wer den Film mit ihr kennt hat ihn zwangsläufig die ganze Zeit vor Augen, sehr schön! Ich konnte mich fast nicht mehr lösen und habe mich in den Worten verloren :)

Wunderschönes Hörbuch
Rosamund Pike liest den Klassiker von Jane Austen einfach so schön, dass man es am Liebesten in einem Rutsch durchhören möchte. Ein wunderbares Hörbuch für alle Jane Austen Fans!

Beautiful story
Beautiful story! I listened to it every spare minute and I liked listening to the performer. This book shows that prejudice is the worst thing in life and that you should never listen to rumours. I love it.

Isn't it the most beautiful love story in the world?! It's like falling in love with Mr. D'Arcy every time one listens to it.

Loved it!
Just perfect! Rosamund having been part of the 2005 production was a perfect choice! She made me experience the story so vividly, I often forgot I wasn't part of it myself.
