Pride and Prejudice (version 3)


Read by Karen Savage

(4.8 stars; 7218 reviews)

Pride and Prejudice is the most famous of Jane Austen’s novels, and its opening is one of the most famous lines in English literature - “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Its manuscript was first written between 1796 and 1797, and was initially called First Impressions, but was never published under that title. Following revisions it was published on 28 January 1813 by the same Mr. Egerton of the Military Library, Whitehall, who had brought out Sense and Sensibility. Like both its predecessor and Northanger Abbey, it was written at Steventon Rectory. (Summary from Wikipedia) (10 hr 23 min)

Reviews

Excellent reading of a delightful book


(5 stars)

I hadn't read this since high school a few decades ago, and while I remembered the basic plot, I'd forgotten how much of a role the art of conversation plays in the book. This was made all the more delightful to listen to with Karen Savage's reading.

Wonderful story and wonderful reader


(5 stars)

There is no wonder Pride & Prejudice is a time honored classic. it is such a fun story of romance. Karen Savage is one of the best readers I've ever heard.

loved it


(4 stars)

I adore older pieces like this and the reader was very good. My only issue I'd say is that there were moments that the audio cut out though very few.

The Crown Jewel of Librivox


(5 stars)

Dearest Gentle Reader, This recording read by one Ms. Karen Savage is, dare I say, the Crown jewel of Librivox. It is read with such assiduity and felicity., (By-the-by) Ms. Savage also captures the moral turpitude & unconscionable vulgarization of the bon ton of "polite society" who do themselves shame in both subtle & overt haughtiness. Ms. Savage's rendition of this beloved classic does, dear reader, Ms. Austen's masterpiece due delivery and justice (both in equal measure). I shall not waiver in my assertion hence forth: Jane Austen is one of the best authors ever! For those who do not concur: prepare your smelling salts! And thus forget (by your account) this most scandalous prose, the moment you have recovered from your astonishment, as I am certain that some of you may radiate a sullen disapproval by the prose written by my quill, upon this parchment.

wonderbar


(5 stars)

Ms. Savage is a fantastic reader by all means. I was drawn by how well she presented the language and also by her demeanor in representing the characters which made me dazzled. This has definitely touched my heart and made reading Jane Austen more pleasurable.

eternal love


(5 stars)

P&P is one of my all time favorites, and this was my first time with it in English. Karen Savage is one of the best readers I've come across so far. This was a real gem. <3

Fabulous book and reader


(5 stars)

Austen was a master of the English language. I pick up on something new each time I listen to this reading. Thank you Karen Savage for a stellar job.

Classic!

An old school love story! An excellent book in it's regard to social attitudes during the period & really wonderful narration by K Savage.
