Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics :
All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influencesbiographical, historical, and literaryto 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. Susan ostrov Weisser is a professor of English at Adelphi University, where she specializes in nineteenth-century literature and women’s studies. Weisser also wrote the introduction to the Barnes & Noble Classics edition of Jane Eyre .
简・奥斯丁(1775―1817),英国十九世纪初期杰出的现实主义小说家。她出生在英格兰汉普郡一个乡村牧师的家庭,从小没有上过正规学校,只在父母的指导下阅读了大量古典文学作品和流行小说。她终身未婚,二十岁左右开始写作,先后写出六部反映英国乡绅生活的长篇小说。一八一一年,匿名发表了《理智与情感》,受到好评,以后又接连出版了《傲慢与偏见》(1813)、《曼斯菲尔德庄园》(1814)、《爱玛》(1815)。她逝世后的第二年,《诺桑觉寺》和《劝导》同时问世,并且第一次署上作者的真名。
«劝导»是一部叙述成长的作品,里面的人物虽然摇摆不定但却鲜活生动。安妮曾经因误信长辈的劝告而放弃温特沃斯,致使两人都受到严重伤害,而当他们再次相遇,他们以更成熟的心智,懂得换位思考,并通过彼此的观察,留意到对方仍存的爱意,并重新接纳对方。 本书最后部分,...
评分从简•奥斯丁的《劝导》可以看出她的作品与通常的韩剧类电视剧的本质区别,尽管都是浪漫的。浪漫也是需要基础的,只有拥有合适的条件,浪漫才能不显得虚无缥缈。这里的基础并不是指所谓简的作品中男女主人公之间的门当户对,这事实上是源自英国人自身的根深蒂固的教育:婚姻...
评分一晃八年多过去,曾经相爱却分手的人再次相逢,会上演怎样的一幕? 八年前,她是生长在优渥环境中的贵族小姐,他只是一个看起来没什么前途的青年海军,她听从父亲和教母的劝导,离开了他;八年里,她一直恪守心底对他的浓浓爱意,拒绝了能带给自己下半生安定生活的其他人;八...
评分最近跟奥斯汀干上了,先是看了电影《Becoming Jane》和《The Jane Austen Book Club》,前者虽说是奥斯汀的传记,但来得远不如《傲慢与偏见》爽快,这也充分证明了一件事:生活远不如文艺作品更加丰富多彩。《简·奥斯汀书友会》其实跟奥斯汀拉扯不上多大关系,几个不同年龄,...
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...
