Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice was written about 200 years back by Jane Austen. It is a romantic love story about the pride of a man and the prejudice of a woman.
Pride and Prejudice is set in London around 1800's. In a time where the only way for a woman to become successful is by marrying.
The main plot thread traces the relationship of Elizabeth Bennet, the second of five sisters, and a wealthy young gentleman named Darcy. They two are not immediately attracted to each other but, as the story progresses, they are forced to examine their feelings as well as their preconceptions about each other. Elizabeth, mostly known as Lizzie, who is the heroine of the novel is witty, clever and lively. But in another hand, Darcy is a very arrogant man, unfriendly and handsome.
In my opinion Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book because it conveys a feminist message, and is the book I have read more than once.
I would recommend Pride and Prejudice, especially if you are keen on love story and social problems.

Well done! You understand the novel. A couple of thoughts. "200 years back" is a bit informal. I think it would be better to say, "200 years ago." You've missed a couple of commas. "The (not they) wo are not immediately attracted to each other, but, as the story..." A comma is necessary before a conjunction linking clauses of a sentence. You also elide the "Oxford comma" "...Darcy is a very arrogant man, unfriendly, and handsome." Some argue that it's not necessary, but I think it is. I would also remind you to make the nouns match: "...love stories and social problems." Both are plural.

By the way, the action takes place in a provincial town, not London. :)
