Publisher Description
Persuasion (World Literary Classics)(Enligh originals) describes a tortuous love story. Lady Annie Elliott fell in love with Wentworth, a young officer, and engaged to be married. But her father, Sir Walter, and her godmother, Lady Russell, were strongly opposed to the marriage, for Wentworth was of mean birth and had no fortune. Out of “prudence”, Annie accepted the advice of her godmother and reluctantly broke off the engagement with her sweetheart. Eight years later, colonel Wentworth, who had risen and made his fortune in the war, returned home and became Sir Walter’s lodger with his sister and brother-in-law. Although he did not forgive Annie, but two people do not forget each other, and finally went through twists and turns to marry. Persuasion (World Literary Classics)(Enligh originals) is in Austen’s style: she completely and calmly tells a story about a relationship. The language is kind, plain and fluent.
