About this audiobook
Enjoy this InAudio presentation of Persuasion by Jane Austen. Delight in what literary critics say is the peak of Jane Austen’s writing skills–and her final completed novel.
Persuasion is Jane Austen’s final completed novel and has been critically acclaimed as the most maturely written of Austen’s novels. It was posthumously published in 1817, just six months after Austen’s death.
Persuasion follows Anne Elliot, a strong young woman, as she is reacquainted with her once-fiance Frederick Wentworth. In Austen’s beloved witty writing, the story follows the duo and their families as they face financial troubles, criss-crossed relationships, the strong emotions of jealousy and unrequited affection, and the societal pressures of the age.
With a charming cast of characters and told in signature Austen flair, this is a story of the power of being true to one’s self and the power of love above societal struggles.
Author
Jane Austen
Jane Austen nació en 1775 en Steventon (Hampshire), séptima de los ocho hijos del rector de la parroquia. Educada principalmente por su padre, empezó a escribir de muy joven, para recreo de la familia, y a los veintitrés años envió a los editores el manuscrito de La abadía de Northanger, que fue rechazado. Trece años después, en 1811, conseguiría publicar Juicio y sentimiento, a la que pronto seguirían Orgullo y prejuicio (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) y Emma (1816), que obtuvieron un gran éxito. Después de su muerte, acaecida prematuramente en 1817, y que le impidió concluir su novela SanditonLa abadía de Northanger, Persuasión (1818). Satírica, antirromántica, profunda y tan primorosa como mordaz, la obra de Jane Austen nace toda ella de una inquieta observación de la vida doméstica y de una estética necesidad de orden moral. «La Sabidu-ría –escribió una vez- es mejor que el Ingenio, y a la larga tendrá sin duda la risa de su parte.»
