Una de las novelas más leídas, "Orgullo y prejuicio", publicada en 1813, nos transporta al pintoresco campo inglés a finales del siglo XVIII, donde se desarrolla la historia de la familia Bennet. La señora Bennet busca incansablemente los pretendientes ideales para sus cinco hijas. La trama comienza con la llegada del adinerado señor Bingley y su enigmático amigo, el reservado y poco simpático señor Darcy. Entre él y Elizabeth, la segunda hija Bennet, surge una relación peculiar que debe superar numerosos malentendidos, prejuicios y barreras sociales antes de transformarse en verdadero entendimiento y amor. "Orgullo y prejuicio" no es solo una historia de amor, sino también una exploración atemporal de las relaciones humanas. La autora retrata magistralmente la tensión entre la razón y el sentimiento, así como el conflicto entre la libertad individual y las convenciones sociales, todo ello con un humor inteligente, un ingenio sutil y una ironía inigualable.

Catturato da una tempesta, il pallone ha volato per circa settemila miglia in cinque giorni.

Una volta alleggerito il carico, il pallone deposita gli altri viaggiatori sulla riva dell'isola. La mattina seguente, Neb cerca il suo "padrone" mentre gli altri esplorano l'isola.
