Synopsis "Persuasión / Sanditon (in Spanish)"

Persuasión, publicada póstumamente en 1818, presenta un cuadro de familia sumamente austeniano: un viudo pomposo que sólo lee el baronetario, una hija soltera llena de pretensiones, una hija casada hipocondríaca y caprichosa, una multitud ruidosa de parientes y vecinos que aparecen por todas partes y, al fondo, en el último rincón, una heroína sensible, paciente y menospreciada. Pero Persuasión es la última novela de Jane Austen y su heroína no es ya una muchacha en trance de aprendizaje sino una mujer en su madurez. Una mujer que «había dejado atrás la edad de ruborizarse; pero no, desde luego, la de las emociones»; y que ahora, ocho años después de haber rechazado, persuadida por un mal consejo, al hombre que amaba, ve como éste reaparece en su vida, rico, honorable, pero aún despechado. Una mujer que, quizá por primera vez en la historia de la novela, debe luchar para que el amor le conceda una segunda oportunidad. Esta edición ofrece además, al lector curioso, el jugoso e inédito fragmento de la novela que Jane Austen dejó inacabada al morir, Sanditon.

Jane Austen

(Author)

View Author's Page

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
