Persuasione

by Jane Austen, Luciana Pozzi (Translator), Attilio Bertolucci (Preface by), Cristina Bombieri (Preface by)

Overview

Il temibile coraggio della sincerità e l'arte impeccabile dispiegata nel tenere unite le fila del racconto sono le qualità della Austen che più colpiscono. In Persuasione questa volontà di rifiuto assoluto dell'ipocrisia e dei felici autoinganni raggiunge picchi che sfiorano la crudeltà, ma si accompagna anche a una sorta di indecifrabile tristezza che, lenta e inavvertita, si deposita in chi legge. Nelle ultime e quasi disadorne pagine, la commistione, nella protagonista, di esultanza e sconforto rappresenta uno dei momenti più alti ed enigmatici della storia del romanzo inglese.

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
