Da Anne Elliot var 19 år, lod hun sig af økonomiske årsager overtale til at bryde sin ellers lykkelige forlovelse med den charmerende, men ubemidlede søofficer Frederick Wentworth. Da tilfældighederne bringer dem sammen otte år senere, er de begge stadig ugift, og Wentworth er blevet velhavende. Han har dog ikke tilgivet Anne, at hun i sin tid lod sig overtale til at afvise ham, og han behandler hende med kulde og ligegyldighed. Anne, der for længst har indset, at hun burde have fulgt sit hjerte og ikke ladet sig påvirke af andres overtalelse, ser resigneret og bedrøvet til, mens Wentworth gør kur til naboernes døtre. Men samtidig får hun selv en ny beundrer, og et uheld på en spadseretur vender op og ned på tingene. Annes venner og familie prøver stadig at få indflydelse på hendes beslutninger, men den modne Anne forlader sig nu på sin egen dømmekraft; denne gang vil hun ikke bukke under for overtalelse.Overtalelses heltinde, Anne Elliot, er den ældste af alle Austens heltinder, og bogen beskriver en dybere og mere moden kærlighed, end man er vant til fra Austens øvrige romaner. Desuden er det den eneste af hendes bøger, hvor helten ikke er aristokrat, men en mand fra mere beskedne kår, der har arbejdet sig til sin formue."En meget fin og vittig og rørende historie om en ung pige, der engang lod sig kue til at sige nej til sin elskede, fordi han var fattig og nu møder ham igen, da han er blevet rig. Forbavsende er den spænding, som Austen kan oparbejde, om de to mennesker nu får hinanden." – Bent Mohn, Politiken"Det er en bog om modenhed og godhed og kvindesind, og den er ikke bare morsom, men også gribende. Jane Austens bøger er med hendes egne ord 'noget der udvider ens viden om arten menneske'" – Poul Borum, Ekstra Bladet

Anne Elliot ist bereits siebenundzwanzig – und unverheiratet. Aus Standesdünkel riet ihre Familie ihr vor acht Jahren dazu, den Heiratsantrag von Annes großer Liebe, dem bürgerlichen und mittellosen Frederick Wentworth, abzulehnen. Allerdings langweilt der Alltag in den Kreisen des Landadels die kluge und unkonventionelle Anne und auch ihren Verlust scheint sie nie überwunden zu haben. Als sie eines Tages unverhofft erneut auf den mittlerweile wohlhabenden und geachteten Captain Wentworth trifft, erweckt diese Begegnung tiefe Gefühle in Anne. Wentworth scheint indes eher ihrer jungen und lebhaften Nachbarin Louisa Musgrove zugetan zu sein ... Jane Austen (1775-1817) ist eine der berühmtesten und bedeutendsten britischen Schriftstellerinnen der Regency-Zeit. Zu ihren bekanntesten Werken zählen etwa "Stolz und Vorurteil" und "Emma", die heute zu den Klassikern der Weltliteratur gehören. Austen ist vor allem für ihre scharfsinnige gesellschaftskritische Beobachtungsgabe bekannt, die sich in ihrer oft von feiner Ironie durchzogenen Analyse der menschlichen Natur und sozialer Interaktionen widerspiegelt. Im Zentrum ihrer Romane steht oft die Zerrissenheit und die Konflikte junger Damen des gehobenen ländlichen Bürgertums, die sich im Spannungsfeld gesellschaftlicher Erwartungen und der eigenen Vorstellungen von Glück befinden. Ihr letztes vollständiges Werk „Überredung" wurde posthum veröffentlicht.

This collector’s edition of Jane Austen’s final novel, Persuasion, is a poignant story of love, loss, and redemption set in Regency-era Britain.

Persuasion (1817) is the final novel written by English author Jane Austen-and the first to be attributed to her name. Persuasion was published posthumously to widespread critical acclaim, and has since been recognized as an understated and mature work of fiction from one of history's finest writers. Like most of Austen's novels, Persuasion involves an intricate network of characters and relationships, illustrating its author's peerless attention to the inner workings of aristocratic society and the nuances of human communication.Persuaded by her wealthy family to break off her engagement to the young Frederick Wentworth, Anne Elliot finds herself unmarried nearly eight years later. By now, with the Elliot family all but ruined by the spendthrift Sir Walter and his enabling daughter Elizabeth, the prospect of marriage is not only a distant hope for Anne, but a bitter reminder of what could have been. When chance reunites her with Frederick, now the esteemed Captain Wentworth for his accomplishments in the Napoleonic Wars, she will have to navigate feelings both old and new with the reversal brought on by their opposing fortunes. As the two are drawn closer together, they will have to decide if it is possible to rekindle a love that has lain dormant much longer than their engagement was allowed to last.Jane Austen's Persuasion is a perceptive and entertaining novel that raises timeless questions regarding the inequity of social life, the disparate opportunities available to men and woman, and the indomitable feelings which work to draw them together-and threaten to drive them apart.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Lady Susan (1871) is a novel by English author Jane Austen. Originally written in 1794-making it one of Austen's earliest complete works-Lady Susan was published posthumously and has since been of interest to readers and scholars alike. It is notable for its epistolary form, a popular style of prose fiction writing in the late-eighteenth century in which the narrative is told in the form of letters between characters embedded in the story itself. The epistolary novel mimics letter writing in order to distance the author from their work, as well as to simulate the secrecy and intimacy of private communication for its reader.Austen's novel, narrated by letters between its cast of characters, follows Lady Johnson's visit to Churchill, the country estate of her brother- and sister-in-law Charles and Catherine Vernon. At Churchill, Lady Susan seduces and denies Catherine's brother Reginald De Courcy, a handsome but gullible man. When Frederica, Lady Susan's teenage daughter, arrives, she begins to fall in love with Reginald. This disrupts not just her mother's control of the young man, but her plan for Frederica to marry Sir James Martin, a wealthy suitor who soon arrives at Churchill himself. As the plot unfolds, and as the bonds of familial and romantic affection are tested, a drama of chaos and comedy ensues which bears the hallmark clarity of Austen's moral vision.Lady Susan is an early masterpiece from renowned novelist Jane Austen, a text which not only clears the path for her more famous novels to come, but carves a space for itself in a truly legendary body of work.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Jane Austen's Lady Susan is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.
