Jane Austen–PERSUASION

“She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older: the natural sequence of an unnatural beginning.” Anyone who loves the writing of Jane Austen cannot help but hope that this quotation from her last completed nove ... (read full critics)

Semplicemente stupendo

"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means
as are within my reach. You pierce 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 al ... (continue)

"I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means
as are within my reach. You pierce 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 earlier 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 write. I am every instant hearing
something which overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can
distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others.
Too good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed.
You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among men.
Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F. W.
"I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither,
or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look,
will be enough to decide whether I enter your father's house
this evening or never."
"Non era una lettera da cui ci si potesse riprendere presto..."

Come Jane nessuno mai.

Come Jane nessuno mai.
Molti hanno definito Persuasione il romanzo della maturità, probabilmente è così. Anche lo stile è diverso, più intimo visto che l'assoluta protagonista è Anne. Essendo l'ultimo libro della Austen, quasi sicuramente è quello che più la rispecchia. Bellissime le ultime pagine in cui, oltre alla rivelazione dei sentimenti da parte sia di Anne che del Capitano Wentworth, vi è uno splendido dibattito sul modo, forse diverso, di amare della donna e dell'uomo.
Una mia amica mi aveva detto "ti lascia addosso una pace e un senso di completezza davvero incredibili. Almeno, a me è successo questo, e sapendo quanto tu sia sensibile sono sicura che succederà anche a te."
Tombola, sempre sia lodata.
Citazione d'obbligo visto che per me è stato impossibile non commuovermi:
'I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce 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.

Onestamente non l'ho mai trovato un romanzo bellissimo; certo, come sempre la Austen ci porta personaggi cordialmente detestabili, con difetti palesi e non. In questo caso mi spiace ammettere di trovare l'eroina abbastanza smorta, incolore; non metto in dubbio che Anne Elliot sia un bel personaggio. ... (continue)

Onestamente non l'ho mai trovato un romanzo bellissimo; certo, come sempre la Austen ci porta personaggi cordialmente detestabili, con difetti palesi e non. In questo caso mi spiace ammettere di trovare l'eroina abbastanza smorta, incolore; non metto in dubbio che Anne Elliot sia un bel personaggio. Purtroppo passa sotto silenzio anche nella mente del lettore
