具体描述
Persuasion , by Jane Austen , is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics : New introductions commissioned from today's top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader's viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriateAll editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. In her final novel, as in her earlier ones, Jane Austen uses a love story to explore and gently satirize social pretensions and emotional confusion. Persuasion follows the romance of Anne Elliot and naval officer Frederick Wentworth. They were happily engaged until Anne’s friend, Lady Russell, persuaded her that Frederick was “unworthy.” Now, eight years later, Frederick returns, a wealthy captain in the navy, while Anne’s family teeters on the edge of bankruptcy. They still love each other, but their past mistakes threaten to keep them apart.
Austen may seem to paint on a small canvas, but her characters contain the full range of human passion and moral complexity, and the author’s generous spirit renders them all with understanding, compassion, and humor.

读后感
今天我收到了新订的阿加莎.克里斯蒂（阿婆）化名Mary Westmacott的非侦探作品集。第一篇叫Absent in the Spring。不知道如何翻译，春日离意？还是春日迟迟？翻开来读了几行，便仿佛挂上ipod，任一道类乎奥黛丽.赫本的柔暖女声轻抚耳膜，静静为我念 书，不是别的，正是简.奥斯丁...
评分安妮在亲友的意愿与自己的爱情中挣扎然后默默的等待八年。她以为他再也不会出现，她以为她能把他忘记，她以为当他们再次相见之时，她能处之泰然。但是，一切都不是她构想的那样。他们相见了，她的心情澎湃，她不知所措，她时常想起他的一言一行，她偷偷地留意他。她还爱...
评分《劝导》是简·奥斯汀一生中最后完成的小说。当时她已因某种不明原因的慢性绝症去往巴思地区做矿泉水治疗，但矿泉水疗效欠佳，她离开人世时才四十岁。所以《劝导》一书中部分情节发生在巴思，巴思吵闹而喧哗的人世里蕴含着某种生命的活力，她说。 没落的准贵族家有三个...
评分“她年轻的时候被迫采取了谨慎小心的态度，随着年龄的增长，她逐渐染上了浪漫的色彩，这是一个不自然开端的自然结果。” “他对她曾一度情意绵绵，后来见到的女子，他觉得没有一个及得上她的。不过，他除了某种天生的好奇心之外。并不想再见到她，她对他的那股魅力已经永远的...
评分有些文字你心里喜欢，嘴巴上却说不出是为什么。你觉得奇怪，既然有这样简洁明净的小路，人们怎么还会使用激烈繁复的语句在无止境的大道上发足狂奔。奥斯丁能够予人慰藉，像哈代一样。你会以为在18和19世纪里没有任何的喧嚣，而只有一些安静的人儿在打发时日，他们是那么愉快坚...
