Persuasion

USD $ 4,99

Eight years ago, Anne Elliot was persuaded by friends and family to break off her engagement to the man she loved—a penniless naval officer named Frederick Wentworth. It was a decision that has haunted her ever-increasingly, leaving her a woman of quiet regret in a family of fading importance. But the tides have turned. Captain Wentworth returns from the Napoleonic Wars with a fortune and a distinguished reputation, looking for a wife. As fate forces them back into each other's social circles, Anne must endure the silent agony of watching the man she rejected court others, while she grapples with the weight of her past "persuasion." Jane Austen's final completed novel is her most mature and deeply felt work. It is a brilliant study of second chances, the endurance of love, and the courage it takes to listen to one's own heart over the voices of society. A hauntingly beautiful tale of lost love found again.

Jane Austen

Autor

Steventon, 1775-Winchester, 1817. Novelista británica. Séptima hija de una familia de ocho hermanos, su padre se encargó personalmente de su educación. En 1801, los Austen se trasladaron a Bath y luego a Chawton, un pueblo de Hampshire, donde la escritora redactó la mayoría de sus novelas. Apacible, sereno y equilibrado es su modo de escribir, y describe con sutil ironía el ambiente de la clase alta rural del sur de Inglaterra. El interés de sus obras reside en los diferentes matices psicológicos de sus personajes, y en la descripción, con una buena dosis de crítica, del ambiente social en que sitúa a sus protagonistas, que no es otro que el suyo propio, el de la burguesía acomodada.
