英国为了向简·奥斯汀致敬,将她的肖像印在了新版10英镑纸币上。200多年后,这位作家的名气大幅提升。如今,奥斯汀的作品在全球范围内广受欢迎,尽管她的小说背景设定在更早的时代。她最著名的作品是《傲慢与偏见》,故事背景设定在18世纪晚期——那个时代的女性几乎在所有方面都依赖丈夫。
故事围绕伊丽莎白·班纳特展开。她是家中六个女儿之一。主要情节是伊丽莎白和富有贵族达西先生之间爱恨交织的关系。起初,他们争吵不断。伊丽莎白觉得达西先生看不起穷人。与此同时,达西认为伊丽莎白因为他的财富而对他有错误的评判。这个故事的魅力在于伊丽莎白和达西先生如何克服他们的傲慢与偏见,最终迎来令人惊喜的结局。
读完这本书,我们就会明白为什么这部小说至今仍受到很多人的喜爱。尽管很多年过去了,但如今每个人在寻找合适的伴侣时仍然会遇到困难。奥斯汀的很多作品都聚焦于年轻女性面临的严肃问题,并且至今仍在激励着很多女性。
