Pýcha a předsudek je jedním z nejoceňovanějších děl Jane Austenové i všeobecně. Vypráví příběh Elizabeth Bennetové, která žije se svými čtyřmi sestrami, sarkastickým otcem a maloměšťáckou, úzkoprsou matkou, která myslí jen na jediné - jak své dcery výhodně provdat. Když se na nedalekém panství Netherfield usadí mladý, svobodný a bohatý pan Bingley, je jasné, že se jej paní Bennetová pokusí získat pro jednu ze svých dcer. S Bingleyem přijíždí jeho dvě snobské sestry a zdánlivě pyšný pan Darcy, bohatý pán a majitel sídla Pemberley a poloviny hrabství Derbyshire, který na svéhlavou Elizabeth neudělá právě nejlepší dojem, narozdíl od přátelského Bingleyho, který si velmi rozumí s Lizzynou sestrou Jane. Na scéně se také objevuje pan Wickham, zapřísáhlý nepřítel Darcyho a chudý pěšák, který přijel s regimentem na zimu do města, a získává si Elizabethiny sympatie. Nic však není, jak se zdá být...

FAIRFIELD, CONNECTICUT

In the fall of 1639, Roger Ludlow, a founder of the colony of Connecticut, led a small group of men and a large herd of cattle to the shore of Long Island Sound, where they established a settlement that became known as Fairfield. With this exciting new photographic history, the members of the Fairfield Historical Society have created a unique look back in time. More than 200 rare photographs in this book document the dramatic changes that have occurred in Fairfield's landscape and population during the last 130 years of its 350-year history. Agriculture dominated Fairfield's economy from its founding to the mid-nineteenth century. With the rise of neighboring Bridgeport as an industrial center in the 1860s to 1920s, laborers and business owners moved to Fairfield, and the once-rural landscape was transformed into suburban home lots. Today the town's population is a vibrant mix of commuters, local business people, and young families.

In the Atlantic Ocean, hurricane Helena is gathering strength, becoming the most powerful storm in recorded history. As Helena bears down on Bermuda, Donovan Nash, along with other members of the scientific research organization Eco-Watch, are called to fly in and extract key government people who have been studying Helena. For Donovan Nash, the routine mission turns deadly when an attempt is made on the life of the lead scientist. A woman from the past, Dr. Lauren McKenna, is suddenly thrust back into his life. With 300 mph winds and waves over 90 feet, Helena marches relentlessly for the vulnerable east coast of the United States. In a bold attempt to diffuse the power of the hurricane, Eco-Watch is called upon to conduct a final flight above the massive fury, where the jet suffers a catastrophic engine failure. Now the only option is to maneuver the crippled airplane into the calm of Helena's eye.
