Persuasion (Penguin Classics Deluxe Editions)by Jane Austen
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Jane Austen's debut in our award-winning graphic-cover series. Written during Jane Austen's race against failing health, Persuasion tells the story of Anne Elliot, a woman who-at twenty-seven-is no longer young and has few romantic prospects. Eight years ago, she was persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank. When Anne and Frederick meet again, he has acquired both, but still feels the sting of her rejection. A brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, Austen's last completed novel is also a movingly told love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities. About the AuthorJane Austen (1775-1817) was the seventh child of a parish rector. She died unmarried, leaving behind an immortal body of work.
