Purchase options and add-ons

What does persuasion mean - a firm belief, or the action of persuading someone to think something else? Anne Elliot is one of Austen's quietest heroines, but also one of the strongest and the most open to change. She lives at the time of the Napoleonic wars, a time of accident, adventure, the making of new fortunes and alliances. A woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in her restricted circumstances as her long-time love Captain Wentworth did in the wars. Even though she is nearly thirty, well past the sell-by bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for herself and for others like herself, in a regenerated society. AUTHOR Jane Austen (1775 – 1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism and biting social commentary have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics.

Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 at Steventon near Basingstoke, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath when her father retired in 1801. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817. As a girl Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were only published after much revision, four novels being published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma(1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-16. She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.

    Kitap sağlam ve güzel bir şekilde elime ulaştı. Bir umut ilk fotoğraftaki süslü kapağın gelmesini umdum ama gelmedi… Kapaktan çok içerik için aldığımdan çok önemsemiyorum ama ilk fotoğrafa direkt gönderilen ürünün fotoğrafı konulsa daha sağlıklı olur diye düşünüyorum.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Il primo romanzo storico di Anne Bronte pubblicato postumo ...in lingua inglese
    Reviewed in Italy on 16 May 2017
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Jane Austen è una scrittrice britannica del periodo pre-romantico (inizio 1800) divenuta famosa per romanzi come Emma e Orgoglio e Pregiudizio.

    Persuasion è un romanzo postumo, quindi pubblicato dopo la sua morte, e racconta della persuasione che la protagonista Anne Elliot ha subito nel rifiutare il suo amore prima di … beh forse è meglio non raccontare tutta la storia per chi non la conoscesse.

    Anche se non è il suo romanzo più noto, lo stile narrativo si riconosce fin dal primo capitolo ed i personaggi si rivelano appassionanti, così come l’ambientazione nel quale si collocano.

    La mia recensione si riferisce all'edizione in lingua inglese, acquistata anche per esercitarsi nell'apprendimento; ma se di studiare la lingua non vi interessa molto, acquistate l'edizione italiana ovviamente.

    Il prezzo al momento della pubblicazione della mia recensione è fantastico, visto che parliamo di 2.68 con spedizione gratuita... meglio di così

    L'edizione è tascabile con copertina flessibile e contiene 210 pagine (non 224 come riportato nella scheda prodotto di Amazon che probabilmente si riferisce ad un'altra edizione).

    La collana Wordwworth Edition si rivela ancora una volta la migliore nel rapporto qualità/prezzo.

    Sperando di esservi stato utile auguro a tutti una piacevolissima lettura.
