Netflix estrena versión cinematográfica, protagonizada por la actriz Dakota Johnson, y los actores Cosmo Jarvis y Henry Golding.

Persuasión narra la historia de una mujer madura, sensible y menospreciada, que años después de haber rechazado al hombre que amaba, persuadida por un mal consejo, ve cómo este reaparece en su vida, rico y 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 obra se considera una de las novelas más oscuras de Jane Austen, sin duda la más crítica con la sociedad de la época. Obligada a conducirse prudentemente en su juventud, con la edad se volvía cada vez más romántica: esa era la consecuencia lógica de su iniciación antinatural.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Netflix
has announced that the cinematographic adaptation is cooming soon, directed by Carrie Cracknell. It features Dakota Johnson, Cosmo Jarvis, and Henry Golding.

First published in 1818, Persuasion was Jane Austen's last work. Its mellow character and autumnal tone have long made it a favorite with Austen readers.

Set in Somersetshire and Bath, the novel revolves around the lives and love affair of Sir Walter Elliot, his daughters Elizabeth, Anne, and Mary, and various in-laws, friends, suitors, and other characters, In Anne Elliot, the author created perhaps her sweetest, most appealing heroine. At the center of the novel is Anne's thwarted romance with Captain Frederick Wentworth, a navy man Anne met and fell in love with when she was 19. At the time, Wentworth was deemed an unsuitable match and Anne was forced to break off the relationship.

Eight years later, however, they meet again. By this time Captain Wentworth has made his fortune in the navy and is an attractive catch. However, Anne is now uncertain about his feelings for her. But after various twists and turns of fortune, the novel ends on a happy note.

In Persuasion, as in such novels as Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma, Austen limned the plight of young women who could escape the constraints of family life only by marrying, and suggest the foolishness of women who believed they were free and not dependent on the financial and social resources of men. At the same time, Persuasion offers an ironic and subtle paean to the true love that enables one woman to rise above straitened economic circumstances and the stifling social conventions that restricted women to narrowly circumscribed lives in the common sitting room.

Sure to appeal to admirers of Jane Austen, Persuasion will delight any reader with its finely drawn characters, gentle satire, and charming re-creation of the genteel world of the 19th-century English countryside.

About the Author
Jane Austen (Steventon, 16 de diciembre de 1775 - Winchester, 18 de julio de 1817) fue una destacada novelista británica que vivió durante el período de la Regencia. La ironía que emplea para dotar de comicidad a sus novelas hace que Jane Austen sea considerada entre los «Clásicos» de la novela inglesa, a la vez que su recepción va, incluso en la actualidad, más allá del interés académico, siendo sus obras leídas por un público más amplio.

Nació en la rectoría de Steventon (Hampshire). Su familia pertenecía a la burguesía agraria, contexto del que no salió y en el que sitúa todas sus obras, siempre en torno al matrimonio de su protagonista. La candidez de las obras de Austen, sin embargo, es meramente aparente, si bien puede interpretarse de varias maneras. Los círculos académicos siempre han considerado a Austen como una escritora conservadora, mientras que la crítica feminista más actual apunta que en su obra puede apreciarse una novelización del pensamiento de Mary Wollstonecraft sobre la educación de la mujer.

Ha sido llevada al cine en diferentes ocasiones, algunas veces reproducidas de forma fiel, como el clásico Más fuerte que el orgullo de 1940 dirigido por Robert Z. Leonard y protagonizada por Greer Garson y Laurence Olivier, y en otras haciendo adaptaciones a la época actual, como es el caso de Clueless, adaptación libre de Emma, o bien Sentido y sensibilidad, de 1995; Mansfield Park, de 2000, y las versiones de Orgullo y prejuicio en 2004 (dirigida por Gurinder Chadha) y en 2005 (dirigida por Joe Wright). Sin embargo la versión más fiel y perfecta que hasta ahora se ha hecho del libro de Orgullo y prejuicio es la serie que presentó la BBC protagonizada por Colin Firth y Jenniffer Ehle.

El interés que la obra de Jane Austen sigue despertando hoy en día muestra la vigencia de su pensamiento y la influencia que ha tenido en la literatura posterior. Su vida también ha sido llevada al cine con la película Becoming Jane en 2007.
