Synopsis "Persuasión"

Una conmovedora historia de segundas oportunidades. La última novela de la autora de Orgullo y prejuicio y Emma Persuasión, la última novela que nos legó Jane Austen, narra la noble historia de amor que brotó entre Anne Elliot y el capitán Wentworth. Tras las exitosas maniobras de la familia de Anne para persuadirla de que lo rechace por su baja condición social, la joven pareja se separa. Pero las penosas circunstancias en las que se ve envuelta la familia de sir Elliot propician, tras algunos años apartada, que la vieja pareja vuelva a encontrarse.

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
