Minos Persuasion

27-year-old Anna Elliot lives alone in the suffocating environment of the English countryside. Eight years later, the memory of her youthful crush on Frederick Wentworth still haunts her, as do regrets over the missed opportunity to marry the great love of her life. Her best friend, Lady Russell, and her father convinced her to call off her engagement, believing that Frederick was not suitable for her family's social status. But when Frederick returns to her life, now a captain in the British navy, with a respectable fortune, Anna will realize that she is still in love with him. Will she be able to put aside her pride and confess her love to him? Is he willing to forget how much she hurt him with her rejection? Persuasion, Jane Austen's last completed novel and the most moving of all her works, is characterized by its underground irony and precision in the description of emotions. With innovations unprecedented for the time - internal monologue, strong social criticism -, the author describes one of the most beautiful love stories, emphasizing the right that everyone has to a second chance in life.
