Synopsis "Pride and Prejudice and the Parsha (in English)"

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a community in possession of an older single woman must marry her off. However little known the feelings or views of the single in question is unimportant-nor is it vital to determine if she already has family acting on her behalf: she is single, therefore, they must do their duty by her and see her to the marriage canopy." The Jewish community of Boxton, Vermont has a serious problem. Six serious problems, actually. Their names are Ariella, Yocheved, Shuli, Batsheva, Malca Dina and Liora. These young women aren't getting any younger. Fortunately, a local high school has just hired a young, eligible bachelor to serve as dorm counselor -- and he's brought his best friend along. Could it be that things are looking up for the single women of Boxton? Join the girls as they go through the ups and downs of traditional Jewish dating, otherwise known as "the Parsha", in this retelling of Jane Austen's classic novel.
Jane Austen

View Author's Page
Fue una novelista británica que vivió durante la época georgiana. Nació en la rectoría de Steventon (Hampshire). Su familia pertenecía a la gentry británica (nobleza rural o burguesía agraria), contexto del que no salió y en el que sitúa todas sus obras, siempre en torno al matrimonio de su protagonista.

Ha sido llevada al cine en numerosas ocasiones, algunas veces reproducidas de forma fiel, como el clásico Más fuerte que el orgullo de 1940 dirigido por Robert Z. Leonard y protagonizada por Greer Garson y Laurence Olivier y en otras haciendo adaptaciones a la época actual, como es el caso de Clueless, adaptación libre de Emma. Otras versiones son la de Sentido y sensibilidad, de 1995; Mansfield Park, de 2000, y las de Orgullo y prejuicio en 2004 (dirigida por Gurinder Chadha) y en 2005 (dirigida por Joe Wright). Sin embargo, la versión más fiel y perfecta que hasta ahora se ha hecho del libro de Orgullo y prejuicio es la serie que presentó la BBC protagonizada por Colin Firth y Jennifer Ehle. El interés que la obra de Jane Austen sigue despertando hoy en día muestra la vigencia de su pensamiento y la influencia que ha tenido en la literatura posterior. Su vida también ha sido llevada al cine con la película Becoming Jane (2007).
