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.

評分“倘若愛情重來,她將選擇冒險堅持而不是放棄” 奧斯汀藉女主角安妮之口說,是否也是她內心真實的聲音?我們都知道她生平感情並不順利,她是否也在對自己失去感情的後悔,後悔當初該好好把握珍惜? 《勸導》描寫的是是一對在分離8年之後重逢,見麵時的尷尬、既幸福又痛苦、相見...
評分從簡•奧斯丁的《勸導》可以看齣她的作品與通常的韓劇類電視劇的本質區彆,盡管都是浪漫的。浪漫也是需要基礎的,隻有擁有閤適的條件,浪漫纔能不顯得虛無縹緲。這裏的基礎並不是指所謂簡的作品中男女主人公之間的門當戶對,這事實上是源自英國人自身的根深蒂固的教育:婚姻...
