Acerca de este libro electrónico

Bronte’s novel about a shy, quiet governess who becomes a tutor in a great house and falls in love with its lonely and mysterious master is one of the great classics of English literature. Unique in its attention to the thoughts and feelings of a female protagonist, Jane Eyre was ahead of its time as a proto-feminist text. When it was published in 1847, however, Bronte was attacked by critics for what they felt was anti-Christian sentiment in her unflinching critique of the oppressions of Victorian society.

Después de leer la mayor parte de otro libro que se trata de amor, este libro me guía. Éste es el ejemplo que quiero seguir

I read JE when I was 13, so we could say it was my first "real" novel. I've reread 12 times or so since then, and I always feel I fall in love with the book like I did that first time. I think this is one of those novels that everybody should read at least one time in life.

Acerca del autor

The eldest of the Bronte sisters, Charlotte worked as a governess and submitted her works under a man’s name in order to be published. She eventually travelled to London and revealed her true identity to her publisher, and thus began friendships with many of the celebrated literary talents of the day. Bronte published three well-received novels before her death in 1855 at the age of 38.
