Synopsis

«Es una verdad universalmente reconocida que un zombi que tiene cerebro necesita mas cerebros». Asi empieza Orgullo y prejuicio y zombis, una version ampliada de la clasica novela de Jane Austen, solo que con escalofriantes escenas de zombis que siembran el terror y devoran a seres humanos. Cuando esa misteriosa plaga llega a la apacible poblacion inglesa de Meryton y los difuntos empiezan a resucitar convertidos en temibles muertos vivientes, la intrepida heroina Elizabeth Bennett tendra que acabar con la amenaza y, al mismo tiempo, evitar que la llegada del altivo y arrogante senor Darcy la distraiga de su empeno. Reescritura en clave de solfa de un clasico fundamental, Orgullo y prejuicio y zombis es una comedia deliciosa, aderezada con civilizadas peleas entre los dos jovenes enamorados y otras mas violentas en el ensangrentado campo de batalla donde Elizabeth libra una guerra sin cuartel contra legiones de zombis que se alimentan de seres humanos. Orgullo y prejuicio y zombis, con sus desenganos amorosos, sus duelos, su canibalismo y sus cadaveres putrefactos, transforma una obra maestra de la literatura mundial en algo que realmente desearemos leer. / "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains"; So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem.

About the Author

One of England s most beloved authors, Jane Austen wrote such classic novels as Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and Northanger Abbey. Published anonymously during her life, Austen s work was renowned for its realism, humour, and commentary on English social rites and society at the time. Austen s writing was supported by her family, particularly by her brother, Henry, and sister, Cassandra, who is believed to have destroyed, at Austen s request, her personal correspondence after Austen s death in 1817. Austen s authorship was revealed by her nephew in A Memoir of Jane Austen, published in 1869, and the literary value of her work has since been recognized by scholars around the world.
