In this witty story of love and marriage, Anne Elliot and Captain Wentworth meet again after many years. They are in love, but will they marry? "Penguin Readers" is a series of simplified novels, film novelizations and original titles that introduce students at all levels to the pleasures of reading in English. Originally designed for teaching English as a foreign language, the series' combination of high interest level and low reading age makes it suitable for both English-speaking teenagers with limited reading skills and students of English as a second language. Many titles in the series also provide access to the pre-20th century literature strands of the National Curriculum English Orders. "Penguin Readers" are graded at seven levels of difficulty, from "Easystarts" with a 200-word vocabulary, to Level 6 (Advanced) with a 3000-word vocabulary. In addition, titles fall into one of three sub-categories: "Contemporary", "Classics" or "Originals". At the end of each book there is a section of enjoyable exercises focusing on vocabulary building, comprehension, discussion and writing. Some titles in the series are available with an accompanying audio cassette, or in a book and cassette pack. Additionally, selected titles have free accompanying "Penguin Readers Factsheets" which provide stimulating exercise material for students, as well as suggestions for teachers on how to exploit the Readers in class.
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。
“几乎没有一个女人能拒绝简•奥斯汀。”记不得是在哪里看过这么一句话。虽然不知道其他女同胞们怎么看,我自己是非常喜欢简•奥斯汀的小说的。她的小说中关于婚姻和爱情的主题是人类永远探讨的话题;即使抛开主题,单就她的讽刺艺术而言,就是很值得研究和学习的了。 ...
评分不止一位文学评论家认为《劝导》很特别,这不仅仅因为它是简·奥斯汀(JA)最后一部完整小说。布鲁姆提到它的“奇怪”之处:阅读过程中一种沉郁而非悲伤的情绪紧紧抓住了他的心。伍尔芙说“它有一种特殊的美和特殊的单调”。休厄尔博士坚持说它是JA“作品中最美的一部”。 ...
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...
