Sinopse

At 19, Anne Elliot has the chance to live happily ever after: she is proposed to by the man she loves, Frederick Wentworth, an intelligent and ambitious young naval officer. However, Anne is persuaded to break off the engagement, as the union of a baronet's daughter with an officer would not be viewed favorably by early 19th-century English society. At 27, however, Anne remains single, and her family finds itself in debt due to the excesses of her father, Sir Walter. The Elliots' ancestral home is rented out, and the new tenants are Admiral Croft and his wife, who happens to be Wentworth's sister. Anne reunites with her former love, now a distinguished and wealthy captain. Persuasion is not only Austen's scathing critique of vanity and pretension, but also a moving story about forgiveness, love, and second chances. This paperback edition includes a foreword by Julia Romeu.

Sobre o autor

Jane Austen

Jane Austen nasceu em 1775, em Steventon, na Inglaterra, e morreu em Winchester, em 1817. Sua profunda compreensão do universo feminino e seu domínio da forma e da ironia ﬁzeram dela uma das mais notáveis e inﬂuentes escritoras de sua época, considerada pela crítica a primeira romancista moderna da literatura inglesa. Publicou, ainda em vida, o clássico romântico Orgulho e Preconceito (1797), Razão e Sensibilidade (1811), Mansﬁeld Park (1814) e Emma (1816). Northanger Abbey e Persuasão foram publicados postumamente, em 1818. Apesar de suas heroínas românticas estarem sempre às voltas com o casamento, Jane Austen nunca se casou.
