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
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《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...
