Synopsis "PERSUASION (in Spanish)"

Los mejores libros jamás escritos. Publicada póstumamente, en 1818, Persuasión es la última novela de Jane Austen. Persuasión narra la historia de una mujer madura, sensible y menospreciada, que años después de haber rechazado al hombre que amaba, persuadida por un mal consejo, ve cómo este reaparece en su vida, rico y honorable pero aún despechado. Una mujer que quizá por primera vez en la historia de la novela debe luchar para que el amor le conceda una segunda oportunidad. Esta obra se considera una de las novelas más oscuras de Jane Austen, sin duda la más crítica con la sociedad de la época. Esta edición incorpora una detallada cronología de la autora. Asimismo cuenta con una magnífica introducción de la crítica y académica Gilliam Beer, especialista en el campo de la novela victoriana. Sus incontestables estudios le valieron su nombramiento como doctora honoris causa en literatura por las universidades de Oxford y Harvard. «Obligada a conducirse prudentemente en su juventud, con la edad se volvía cada vez más romántica: esa era la consecuencia lógica de su iniciación antinatural.»

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)
