Een van de meest gelezen Engelse romans, die meer dan twee eeuwen na zijn ontstaan nog steeds lezers over de hele wereld betovert. De roman "Pride and Prejudice", gepubliceerd in 1813, speelt zich af op het pittoreske Engelse platteland aan het einde van de 18e eeuw en vertelt het verhaal van de familie Bennet. Mevrouw Bennet is onvermoeibaar op zoek naar geschikte huwelijkskandidaten voor haar vijf dochters. Het verhaal begint wanneer de rijke heer Bingley in de buurt komt wonen, samen met zijn mysterieuze vriend, de gereserveerde en onsympathieke heer Darcy. Tussen hem en de slimme, vrijgevochten Elizabeth, de op één na oudste dochter van de Bennets, ontstaat een bijzondere relatie die vele misverstanden, vooroordelen en sociale barrières moet overwinnen voordat het kan uitgroeien tot echte liefde en begrip. "Pride and Prejudice" is niet alleen een liefdesverhaal, maar ook een tijdloze verkenning van menselijke relaties, met een scherpzinnig inzicht in de spanning tussen rede en gevoel, en de strijd tussen individuele vrijheid en sociale conventies.

One of the most important works of twentieth-century American literature, Zora Neale Hurston's beloved 1937 classic, "Their Eyes Were Watching God," is an enduring Southern love story sparkling with wit, beauty, and heartfelt wisdom. Told in the captivating voice of a woman who refuses to live in sorrow, bitterness, fear, or foolish romantic dreams, it is the story of fair-skinned, fiercely independent Janie Crawford, and her evolving selfhood through three marriages and a life marked by poverty, trials, and purpose. A true literary wonder, Hurston's masterwork remains as relevant and affecting today as when it was first published -- perhaps the most widely read and highly regarded novel in the entire canon of African American literature.
