Synopsis "Persuasion (in Spanish)"

La vanidad y los prejuicios de una aristocrática familia se interponen en el amor profundo y sincero de una joven pareja. Ana, hija del presuntuoso sir Walter Elliot, fue educada por una amiga al morir su madre. Su gratitud hacia la elegante dama la empuja a escuchar los consejos que le impedirán unirse al hombre que ama, un oficial de marina de poca fortuna. De esta forma, se enfrenta a largos años de soledad en los que la belleza y el resplandor de la juventud van mermando, pero no así su carácter dulce y bondadoso que, junto a su inteligencia, consolida la personalidad de una atractiva mujer, preparada tanto para las situaciones adversas como para una maravillosa segunda oportunidad del destino.
Un retrato fino e irónico, de la vida íntima y familiar de la pequeña burguesía rural de inglesa de la época.
La minuciosidad a la hora de perfilar a sus heroínas eleva las novelas de Jane Austen a la condición de clásicos universales.

View Author's Page

She was a British novelist who lived during the Georgian era. She was born in the rectory of Steventon (Hampshire). Her family belonged to the British gentry (rural nobility or agrarian bourgeoisie), a context she never left and in which she set all her works, always revolving around the marriage of her protagonist.

She has been portrayed in cinema on numerous occasions, sometimes faithfully reproduced, like the 1940 classic Pride and Prejudice directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, and other times adapted to modern times, as is the case with Clueless, a loose adaptation of Emma. Other versions include Sense and Sensibility from 1995; Mansfield Park from 2000; and Pride and Prejudice in 2004 (directed by Gurinder Chadha) and in 2005 (directed by Joe Wright). However, the most faithful and perfect version of the book Pride and Prejudice to date is the series presented by the BBC starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The interest that Jane Austen's work continues to arouse today shows the relevance of her thought and the influence she has had on subsequent literature. Her life has also been portrayed in film with the movie Becoming Jane (2007)
