{"product_id":"persuasion-jane-austen-9781419141034","title":"Persuasion","description":"Persuasion is a novel written by Jane Austen and published in 1818, six months after her death. The story follows the life of Anne Elliot, a 27-year-old unmarried woman who lives with her vain father, Sir Walter Elliot, and her older sister, Elizabeth, in their family estate, Kellynch Hall. Anne was once engaged to a young naval officer, Frederick Wentworth, but broke off the engagement due to the persuasion of her family and friends, who believed that Wentworth was not good enough for her.Eight years later, Anne has not found anyone else to marry, and Wentworth has become a wealthy and successful captain in the Royal Navy. When he returns to the area as a tenant of Kellynch Hall's new owner, Anne must confront her feelings for him and the consequences of her past decisions.The novel explores themes of social class, family relationships, and the power of persuasion. It is considered one of Austen's most mature and poignant works, with a more somber tone than her earlier novels. Persuasion is often praised for its complex characters, subtle humor, and insightful commentary on the society of Austen's time.Overall, Persuasion is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its timeless themes and relatable characters.Sir Walter Elliot, of Kellynch Hall, in Somersetshire, was a man who, for his own amusement, never took up any book but the Baronetage; there he found occupation for an idle hour, and consolation in a distressed one; there his faculties were roused into admiration and respect, by contemplating the limited remnant of the earliest patents.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
