About this audiobook
Persuasion is Jane Austen's final novel, written soon after she finished "Emma" and completed in August 1816. Sadly, she passed away in 1817 and the novel was published in December of that year, dated 1818. Persuasion is related to "Northanger Abbey" due to both being set in Bath and originally published together. The novel tackles the theme of persuasion and also highlights the Royal Navy, as two of Austen's brothers were admirals. Bath's superficial social life, which Austen was familiar with, is also portrayed. Persuasion departs from Austen's earlier works with its biting satire and regretful outlook, but ultimately emphasizes a more fulfilling life symbolized by the Navy. The protagonist Anne Elliot ultimately embraces this worldview by the end of the book.

Jane Austen
Jane Austen nació en 1775 en Steventon (Hampshire), séptima de los ocho hijos del rector de la parroquia. Educada principalmente por su padre, empezó a escribir de muy joven, para recreo de la familia, y a los veintitrés años envió a los editores el manuscrito de La abadía de Northanger, que fue rechazado. Trece años después, en 1811, conseguiría publicar Juicio y sentimiento, a la que pronto seguirían Orgullo y prejuicio (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) y Emma (1816), que obtuvieron un gran éxito. Después de su muerte, acaecida prematuramente en 1817, y que le impidió concluir su novela SanditonLa abadía de Northanger, Persuasión (1818). Satírica, antirromántica, profunda y tan primorosa como mordaz, la obra de Jane Austen nace toda ella de una inquieta observación de la vida doméstica y de una estética necesidad de orden moral. «La Sabidu-ría –escribió una vez- es mejor que el Ingenio, y a la larga tendrá sin duda la risa de su parte.»
