About this product

Product Information

Jane Austen's last completed novel, marrying witty social realism to a Cinderella love story At twenty-­seven, Anne Elliot is no longer young and has few romantic prospects. Eight years earlier, she had been persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank. What happens when they encounter each other again is movingly told in Jane Austen's last completed novel. Set in the fashionable societies of Lyme Regis and Bath, Persuasion is a brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, but, above all, it is a love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Reviews
"Critics, especially [recently], value Persuasion highly, as the author's 'most deeply felt fiction,' 'the novel which in the end the experienced reader of Jane Austen puts at the head of the list.' . . . Anne wins back Wentworth and wins over the reader; we may, like him, end up thinking Anne's character 'perfection itself.'" from the Introduction by Judith Terry

  • Persuasion by Jane Austen

    A great book, if you love romance novels. It takes a little while to get used to the type of writing, considering that the book was written in the 19th century. Some parts are a little boring when it talks about the history of the Elliot family and when it is basically narration. Other parts are suspenseful and interesting, especially when the book talks about Anne and Captain Wentworth. The ending is fabulous and leaves the reader wanting to know more. An overall great read, especially for people who love British literature or 19th century novels.

  • Wonderful story.

    The only Jane Austen book I never got around to reading. I loved it.

  • Great book! Better than the movie!

    I bought this because I watched the movie. It has small print but that's ok once you get used to it. I really love the story.
