Forlagsbeskrivelse af Pride and Prejudice (Collector's Edition) af Barbara Heller

This collector's edition invites fans inside the world of Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet. A deluxe, cloth-bound, two-volume set includes gorgeous replicas of the characters' letters, plus all-new mementos, such as the Darcys' marriage certificate and an invitation to the ball at Netherfield. Pride and Prejudice is one of the most beloved books of all time, and nothing captures the vivid emotion and keen wit of Jane Austen"™s novel better than the characters"™ correspondence. It is, after all, Darcy"™s heartfelt letter that finally changes Elizabeth"™s feelings from hostility and suspicion to respect and love. Barbara Heller"™s specially curated edition, first published in 2020, brought these epistles to life and became a fan favorite. Pockets throughout the novel contain handwritten replicas of nineteen letters, from Mr. Collins"™s unctuous letter of introduction to Jane"™s urgent missive announcing Lydia"™s elopement. Readers can pull out each piece, peruse its contents, and feel transported to the breakfast table at Longbourn.
