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.

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...
评分在简的6本著作里(我们这里不谈她未写完的和刚出版的) 劝导的女主角安妮算是一个大龄未婚女青年了 相对于其他几位十八九岁 年轻妩媚的小姐们来说 在书的开篇 安妮真算是一位将要珠黄的老小姐了 然而 尽管年华将逝 老小姐也不愿嫁人 不是无人可嫁 而是心有牵挂 那牵挂之人 就...
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...
