Overview

Immerse yourself in the timeless classic "Persuasion" by Jane Austen, now available in a beautifully crafted ebook edition. This final masterpiece from one of the most celebrated authors in English literature invites you to explore the nuanced world of early 19th-century English society through a tale of lost love and second chances.

"Persuasion" tells the poignant story of Anne Elliot, a young woman of quiet charm and deep sensitivity. Eight years prior, Anne was persuaded to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a dashing naval officer of humble origins, due to his lack of fortune and social standing. However, as fate brings them back together, Anne is confronted with her past decisions and the enduring flame of her first and truest love.

Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, this novel unfolds in the scenic locales of rural Somersetshire, the fashionable seaside town of Lyme, and the elegant society of Bath. Austen weaves a narrative rich with irony and insight, exploring themes of social mobility, the constraints of propriety, and the endurance of love.

Whether you are a lifelong admirer of Jane Austen or discovering her work for the first time, "Persuasion" is a novel that resonates as much today as it did at the time of its publication. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of love and the strength of the human spirit.

About the Author

About The Author
Jane Austen (1775–1817) was an English author known primarily for her six major novels set among the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Considered defining works of the Regency Era and counted among the best–loved classics of English literature, Austen's books include Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. The latter two were published after her death. "I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library." – Jane Austen
