About this audiobook

"Jane Eyre" di Charlotte Brontë, narra la storia di una giovane orfana, Jane Eyre, che dopo un'infanzia difficile trascorsa tra maltrattamenti e solitudine, diventa governante a Thornfield Hall. Qui, incontra il misterioso e tormentato padrone di casa, Mr. Rochester. Tra i due nasce un'intensa storia d'amore, complicata da segreti oscuri e rivelazioni drammatiche.

Attraverso prove e sofferenze, Jane rimane fedele a se stessa e ai suoi principi, trovando infine la felicità e l'indipendenza. Un capolavoro senza tempo che esplora temi come l'emancipazione femminile e la lotta per l'identità e l'uguaglianza sociale.

About the author

Charlotte Brontë (21 April 1816 – 31 March 1855) was an English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Brontë sisters who survived into adulthood and whose novels became classics of English literature.She enlisted in school at Roe Head in January 1831, aged 14 years. She left the year after to teach her sisters, Emily and Anne, at home, returning in 1835 as a governess. In 1839, she undertook the role of governess for the Sidgwick family, but left after a few months to return to Haworth, where the sisters opened a school, but failed to attract pupils. Instead, they turned to writing and they each first published in 1846 under the pseudonyms of Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell. Although her first novel, The Professor, was rejected by publishers, her second novel, Jane Eyre, was published in 1847. The sisters admitted to their Bell pseudonyms in 1848, and by the following year were celebrated in London literary circles.Charlotte Brontë was the last to die of all her siblings. She became pregnant shortly after her marriage in June 1854 but died on 31 March 1855, almost certainly from hyperemesis gravidarum, a complication of pregnancy which causes excessive nausea and vomiting.
