Persuasion / Jane Austen - En Inglés

The last novel by English novelist Jane Austen (1775 1817), completed just months before her death and published posthumously that same year. In Persuasion, Austen presents the story of Anne Elliot and her reunion with an old love, Frederick Wentworth, years after their engagement ended by fear and family pressure. The writer explores the issues of women's role in English society in the early 19th century, the persuasion and social pressure they constantly endure, without losing her characteristic caustic and ironic style of social criticism.
