Описание книги

A Look Behind the Curtain…<br><br>For lovers of Pride and Prejudice, the characters are like old friends. Everyone knows the who and the what of the cherished tale, but WHAT JANE AUSTEN DIDN&#39;T TELL US! fills in the how, why &ndash; and especially the when.<br><br>For instance, why would Mr. Bennet marry such a foolish woman?<br>And how did his daughter Lizzy develop such a fierce independent streak?<br><br>Seventeen dramatic portraits take us into the lives of the story&#39;s beloved figures before they enter the pages of the novel. Triumphs and follies, victories and social disasters, the characters&#39; pasts reveal hidden secrets, unexpected intersections, and new motivations for all the goings-on from Longhorn to Pemberley &ndash; and all places in between.

Отрывок из книги

WHAT JANE AUSTEN DIDN’T TELL US! is not a novel—rather, we present seventeen portraits of Pride and Prejudice characters with their own motivations, complexities and conflicts, victories and defeats, comic and even tragic elements, before they appear in the classic tale.
