Perihal e-buku ini

  Sidelined by her vain father, Sir Walter Elliot, and her self-indulgent
elder sister, Elizabeth, Anne Elliot has always been swayed by others
in her life decisions. Tough times force the Elliots to shift from their
beloved home, Kellynch Hall, to Bath and Anne uses this opportunity
to visit her sister, Mary Musgrove.
But this trip brings with it a fated meeting with the man she had
once loved and rejected—Captain Frederick Wentworth. Confronted
with each other again as they move in the same social circle, will
Captain Wentworth get over the past? Will Anne step out of her
shell and the boundaries set by her family’s false sense of pride to
come to terms with her true feelings for the Captain?
In Persuasion, Jane Austen uses a host of characters to string
together a tale of love, while remarking on the societal facades and
eccentricities of the English in the early 19th-century.

Perihal pengarang

Jane Austen's life is striking for the contrast between the great works she wrote in secret and the outward appearance of being quite dull and ordinary. Austen was born in the small English town of Steventon in Hampshire, and educated at home by her clergyman father. She was deeply devoted to her family. For a short time, the Austens lived in the resort city of Bath, but when her father died, they returned to Steventon, where Austen lived until her death at the age of 41. Austen was drawn to literature early, she began writing novels that satirized both the writers and the manners of the 1790's. Her sharp sense of humor and keen eye for the ridiculous in human behavior gave her works lasting appeal. She is at her best in such books as Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816), in which she examines and often ridicules the behavior of small groups of middle-class characters. Austen relies heavily on conversations among her characters to reveal their personalities, and at times her novels read almost like plays. Several of them have, in fact, been made into films. She is considered to be one of the most beloved British authors.
