珍.奧斯汀(Jane Austen, 1775–1817),英國女作家,作品詮釋英國十八世紀末的鄉紳生活,反映女性的追求與社會婚姻觀,但本身卻一生小姑獨處。珍.奧斯汀著作豐富,皆以匿名方式出版,代表作品包括《理性與感性》(Sense and Sensibility, 1811)、《傲慢與偏見》(Pride and Prejudice, 1813)、《艾瑪》(Emma, 1815)、《曼斯菲爾德莊園》(Mansfield Park, 1814)等。 珍.奧斯汀的第二部小說《傲慢與偏見》,是最獲盛譽之作,在撰寫時年僅二十一歲。故事的時空背景為十八世紀末、十九世紀初的英國,描繪班奈特(Bennet)一家人和五名待嫁女兒的故事,傳達英國地主鄉紳貴族的情感和婚姻問題。 班奈特太太人生中最大的心願,就是見到五個女兒們出閣,故事從女兒伊莉莎白(Elizabeth)和達西先生(Mr. Darcy)之間的愛情開展出來,為了這段愛情,男方要克服自己的傲慢,女方要拋開自己的偏見。珍.奧斯汀曾經在一封信中寫到了她對伊莉莎白的看法:「我得承認,她是文學作品中一個最令人讚賞的角色,我不知道該如何容忍那些無法欣賞她的人。」 ***** Pride and Prejudice was first written between October 1796 and August 1797 and it was called First Impressions. It wasn’t published, however, until 1813. It was Jane Austen’s second novel. She was twenty-one years old when she first wrote it. It is still one of the most popular novels in English literature and it has sold more than 20 million copies. Pride and Prejudice was published anonymously and was credited to the author of Sense and Sensibility. Pride and Prejudice is a story of life and love in England in the 1800s. The story is about Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and their five unmarried daughters. Mrs. Bennet’s main purpose in life is to see her five daughters married. Consequently, she is very happy when a handsome rich gentleman arrives in the neighborhood, and he falls in love with her eldest daughter Jane. However, when her sister, the clever and witty Elizabeth Bennet first meets his handsome and wealthier friend, Mr. Darcy, she dislikes him. And that is the beginning of their wonderful love story. In order for them to fall in love, his pride and her prejudice must be overcome. About Elizabeth, Jane Austen wrote in a letter: “I must confess that I think her as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print, and how I shall be able to tolerate those who do not like her at least I do not know.” 【Helbling文學讀本(Helbling Readers)簡介】 ● Helbling Classics(經典英文文學改寫) ● Helbling Fiction(當代原創英文小說) 《Helbling文學讀本》為一套最優質的英文分級閱讀讀本,英語難易度由初級銜接到中級。在各項英語認證考試中,本系列書培養的英語能力級數如下:

作者簡介 珍.奧斯汀(Jane Austen, 1775–1817) 英國女作家,父親是英國國教的教區牧師,她在七個兄弟姊妹中排行倒數第二。奧斯汀住在漢普郡(Hampshire)的史蒂文斯頓(Steventon),一家皆受過良好的教育,生活過得幸福和樂。珍跟與母親同名的姊姊Cassandra感情很要好,我們對於珍.奧斯汀的瞭解,多半是從她跟姊姊的信件往返得知。 珍.奧斯汀從小便立志要當一名作家,從十二歲起開始,便為家人撰寫故事和劇本,當作消遣。儘管她的小說描寫的主題都和婚姻有關,但卻一生未婚。她和一位學法律的年輕人有過一段情,但男方最後另娶他人。後來有一位老友向她求婚,卻非她所鍾愛,沒有接受求婚。她在寫給姪女的信中說道:「最糟的事是嫁給自己不愛的人。」這種想法在當時非比尋常,對十九世紀的大部分女性來說,愛情沒有財富或良好的社會地位來得重要。 珍.奧斯汀在七年間內寫了六部偉大的小說,包括《理性與感性》(Sense and Sensibility, 1811)、《傲慢與偏見》(Pride and Prejudice, 1813)、《曼斯菲爾德莊園》(Mansfield Park, 1814),以及《諾桑覺寺》(Northanger Abbey)和《勸導》(Persuasion),於1817年在她歿後出版。小說皆匿名出版,小說成名後,作者之名才為眾人所知。 1817年,珍.奧斯汀病逝,葬於溫徹斯特座堂。 譯者簡介 盧相如 東華大學創作與英語文學研究所畢業,目前為自由譯者。喜歡閱讀小說、音樂和電影。譯作《科學怪人》、《傲慢與偏見》、《碧盧冤孽》(寂天出版)等。
