Persuasion

Beschreibung

"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago. Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you." - Taken from "Persuasion" by Jane Austen "Persuasion" was originally published in 1818 only six months after Jane Austen's death. This was the last novel completed by Jane Austen. In Persuasion, like many of Jane Austen's other novels, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma, she tells the stories of young women fighting against the obligations and expectations of family and social expectations. Yet, the love story in Persuasion offers romance and optimism, developing a story that is sure to appeal to lovers of romance and the challenges we are willing to face for a second chance at love.

Autor

Jane Austen (16 December 1775 - 18 July 1817) was an English novelist. She wrote many books of romantic fiction about the gentry. Her works made her one of the most famous and beloved writers in English literature. She is one of the great masters of the English novel. Austen's works criticized sentimental novels in the late 18th century, and are part of the change to nineteenth- realism. She wrote about typical people in everyday life. This gave the English novel its first distinctly modern character. Austen's stories are often comic, but they also show how women depended on marriage for social standing and economic security. Her works are also about moral problems. Jane Austen was very modest about her own genius. She once famously described her work as "the little bit (two Inches wide) of Ivory, on which I work with so fine a brush, as produces little effect after much labor." She had been working on a new novel, Sanditon, but she died before she could finish it. She is now a well known great writer.
