What does persuasion mean - a firm belief, or the action of persuading someone to think something else? Anne Elliot is one of Austen's quietest heroines, but also one of the strongest and the most open to change. She lives at the time of the Napoleonic wars, a time of accident, adventure, the making of new fortunes and alliances. A woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in her restricted circumstances as her long-time love Captain Wentworth did in the wars. Even though she is nearly thirty, well past the sell-by bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for herself and for others like herself, in a regenerated society.
“I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach.
You pirece my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that i am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever.
I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight years and a half ago.
Dare not say that man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an ealier death. I have loved none but you.
Unjust i may have been,weak and resentful i have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan.——Have you not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could i have read your feelings, as i think you must have penetrated mine.
I can hardly writ... (查看原文)
This is not only my favorite Jane Austen novel, but one of my favorite novels of all time. I read it 3 times last year…Anne i one of my favorite fictional characters.
Anne的家庭太可怕了，拜高踩低，自视甚高，智商捉急，她真是家里唯一的正常人和聪明人。姐姐和父亲对她漠视甚至鄙夷；妹妹把她当侍疾工具人和情绪垃圾桶，处处想压她一头。相比之下没有血缘关系的Lady Russell真是如同母亲的存在，她的劝导在Anne心中分量才这么重。
现在所有爱情小说套路都是Jane Austin玩剩下的，傲慢与偏见，养成，破镜重圆，you name it.
今天我收到了新订的阿加莎.克里斯蒂（阿婆）化名Mary Westmacott的非侦探作品集。第一篇叫Absent in the Spring。不知道如何翻译，春日离意？还是春日迟迟？翻开来读了几行，便仿佛挂上ipod，任一道类乎奥黛丽.赫本的柔暖女声轻抚耳膜，静静为我念 书，不是别的，正是简.奥斯丁...

每每读她的小说时才觉得英文是一门美的让人朗读起来的语言。 旧情复燃总是讨好的故事。

总共大概花了十二个小时左右读完。读得很慢。这个奥斯汀后期的作品，与其说是个爱情故事不如说是女主的成长历程。中间的节奏有点慢，最后的高潮和收尾有点仓促。女主的塑造很成功，是我喜欢的类型。男主也很讨喜。奥斯汀的语言驾驭能力一流，是英语语言运用的典范。把它的美感、含蓄、幽默、讽刺全部表现得淋漓尽致。有“不看情节光看文笔都值了”的感觉。整个对于人性的诠释和思考都非常成熟。
