Listen Up (2007)
"Persuasion" is Jane Austen's last completed novel. She began it soon after she had finished "Emma" and completed it in August 1816. She died, at age 41, in 1817; "Persuasion" was published in December of that year (but dated 1818)."Persuasion" is linked to "Northanger Abbey" not only by the fact that the two books were originally bound up in one volume and published together, but also because both stories are set partly in Bath, a fashionable city with which Austen was well acquainted, having lived there from 1801 to 1805.Besides the theme of persuasion, the novel evokes other topics, such as the Royal Navy, in which two of Jane Austen's brothers ultimately rose to the rank of admiral. As in "Northanger Abbey," the superficial social life of Bath-well known to Austen, who spent several relatively unhappy and unproductive years there-is portrayed extensively and serves as a setting for the second half of the book. In many respects, "Persuasion" marks a break with Austen's previous works, both in the more biting, even irritable satire directed at some of the novel's characters and in the regretful, resigned outlook of its otherwise admirable heroine, Anne Elliot, in the first part of the story. Against this is set the energy and appeal of the Royal Navy, which symbolises for Anne and the reader the possibility of a more outgoing, engaged, and fulfilling life, and it is this worldview which triumphs for the most part at the end of the novel.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Persuasion (1817) is the final novel written by English author Jane Austen--and the first to be attributed to her name. Persuasion was published posthumously to widespread critical acclaim, and has since been recognized as an understated and mature work of fiction from one of history's finest writers. Like most of Austen's novels, Persuasion involves an intricate network of characters and relationships, illustrating its author's peerless attention to the inner workings of aristocratic society and the nuances of human communication.

Persuaded by her wealthy family to break off her engagement to the young Frederick Wentworth, Anne Elliot finds herself unmarried nearly eight years later. By now, with the Elliot family all but ruined by the spendthrift Sir Walter and his enabling daughter Elizabeth, the prospect of marriage is not only a distant hope for Anne, but a bitter reminder of what could have been. When chance reunites her with Frederick, now the esteemed Captain Wentworth for his accomplishments in the Napoleonic Wars, she will have to navigate feelings both old and new with the reversal brought on by their opposing fortunes. As the two are drawn closer together, they will have to decide if it is possible to rekindle a love that has lain dormant much longer than their engagement was allowed to last.

Jane Austen's Persuasion is a perceptive and entertaining novel that raises timeless questions regarding the inequity of social life, the disparate opportunities available to men and woman, and the indomitable feelings which work to draw them together--and threaten to drive them apart.

With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Jane Austen's Persuasion is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.


Notă biografică

Emma es una novela cómica escrita por Jane Austen, en inglés, publicada por vez primera en 1815 por el editor John Murray, sobre los peligros de malinterpretar el romance. El personaje principal, Emma Woodhouse, se describe como "hermosa, lista y rica" pero también es bastante mimada. Antes de comenzar la novela, Austen escribió: "Voy a elegir una heroína que, excepto a mí, no gustará mucho".Sinopsis El significado de Emma desciende del significado "Diosa de amor y de la fertilidad" y de "Diosa del deseo".Emma Woodhouse es una joven en la Inglaterra de la Regencia. Vive con su padre, un hipocondríaco caracterizado principalmente por su excesiva preocupación por la salud y el bienestar de aquellos a los que ama. La señorita Woodhouse está empeñada en hacer de casamentera de sus amistades y relaciones. Pero al ocuparse de los asuntos de sus amigas se olvida de atender sus propios sentimientos. El amigo de Emma y la única persona que la critica es el caballeroso señor Knightley, su "vecino" y cuñado (hermano del marido de su hermana), dieciséis años mayor que ella.Cuando su institutriz, la señorita Taylor, que era prácticamente su amiga y confidente, decide casarse, Emma se queda sola ante sus propios sentimientos. Emma, pagada de sí misma, cree que el matrimonio se debe a ella, por haber sido quien presentó a la señorita Taylor su futuro marido, el señor Weston. Emma se enfrenta a un vacío en su vida y con un gran dilema: cómo ayudar a los demás a tener una vida tan perfecta como la suya.En contra del consejo de Knightley, busca posibles novios para su nueva amiga, Harriet Smith, una joven sencilla y modesta, alejada del estilo de vida de la alta sociedad. Es una dulce chica de 17 años, no muy brillante, descrita como "la hija natural de alguien". La convence para que rechace un ventajoso matrimonio con un respetable y joven granjero, el señor Martin, pues Emma quiere emparejarla con el vicario local, el señor Elton. Su intriga casamentera va mal cuando resulta que el señor Elton, un trepador social, quiere casarse con la propia Emma. Después de que Emma rechace su proposición, el señor Elton se va de vacaciones. Harriet se imagina que está con el corazón destrozado, aunque Emma hace todo lo que puede por convencerla de que el señor Elton (que se revelará más arrogante y pomposo conforme avanza la historia) está por debajo de ellas dos.

Recenzii

"In Persuasion, Jane Austen picks up the pen to tell us who we are and what we want" Independent "Everyone has their Austen, and this is mine. Sparer, more savage - and also more poignant than Pride and Prejudice, this is a novel that tells us wisely and wittily about the nature of romantic entanglements and the follies of being human. It isn't riven with the deep, muscular ironies of, say, Emma, but there is something about the dry lightness of Persuasion that is deceptive. It stays with you long after you've read it" -- Nigella Lawson "I worship all of Austen's novels, but if I have to choose one over the others, I plump for the autumnal pleasures of Persuasion. This is the last work Austen completed before her death in 1817, and it is rather more tender and melancholy in tone than the novels that preceded it. I read it once or twice a year, whenever I feel in need of a good cry" -- Zoe Heller "A subtle and elegiac novel - more heartfelt than some of her earlier romances and with a truly appealing heroine" -- Joanna Trollope "Female self-worth could have been invented by Jane Austen. No wonder we still value her" -- Germaine Greer Guardian
