Synopsis "Pride and Post Apocalypse: A regency dystopian"

In the aftermath of a devastating electromagnetic pulse, Elizabeth Bennet and her family struggle to retain their fortune and dignity under the new regime of an anonymous tyrant named the Badger. Forced to return to regency era ideals, Elizabeth strives for women's independence so her future won't have to be decided by her marital status, but the antics of her family and the unsolicited attentions of several young men constantly derail her course. Furthermore, the imposing Mr. Darcy seems to be bent on ruining every prospect of her happiness. Will she ever be able to overthrow the centuries-old practices of the government while still keeping her family from disgracing themselves and grappling with her conflicting emotions? This mash-up fuses dystopian elements with Jane Austen's masterful narrative, casting new light on the original story. Complete with alternating hero and heroine points of view and disenchantment with the government, Pride and Post Apocalypse will delight fans of regency romance and dystopia.

View Author's Page

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
