Emily Brontë

    30. červenec 1818 – 19. prosinec 1848

    Emily Brontëová je známá především díky svému jedinému románu, klasickému dílu anglické literatury. Její styl se vyznačuje syrovou vášní a zkoumáním temných stránek lidské duše a společnosti. Brontëová se zaměřovala na témata jako láska, pomsta, třída a povaha zla. Její dílo nadále rezonuje svou psychologickou hloubkou a jedinečnou atmosférou.

      Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte are three of the most remarkable novelists and poets of the ninetieth century. Jack Hewer illustrates this complete treasury with landscape drawings and the remainder of the illustrations are by B. S. Grieg. Charlotte was the most prolific of the sisters and best known for Jane Eyre. Anne Bronte was the author of Anges Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. And Emily Bronte’s crowning achievement is Wuthering Heights. Readers will delight in the comprehensive packaging of these classics.

    • This superb anthology of poems contains Emily Bronte's verses in their entirety, including her private and posthumously published poetry, as compiled and edited by the literary critic Clement Shorter. The Complete Poems of Emily Bronte is a collection assembled both from past publications featuring Emily Bronte's works, and private collections discovered after her death by members of her family. Although her verse compositions are overshadowed to this day by her phenomenally successful novel Wuthering Heights, they remain worthy examples of the Romantic era form. The poems situated at the conclusion went unpublished for decades and did not appear in print until 1908. Emily Bronte was a private character, who took very little interest in promoting her works to the public. As such, many of these poems never appeared in print until years or even decades after her death in 1848. Alongside the poems themselves is a biographical introduction which explains the most pivotal events in Emily's life.

Originally published under male pseudonyms in the 1840s, these three novels later helped give rise to the feminist literary movement of the late nineteenth century, in which women’s perspectives became more accepted by the mainstream reading public. A scholarly introduction provides an overview of the sisters’ childhood in northern England, their literary influences, and their enduring legacy.

      Emily Bronté's only novel is set firmly in the high moors above Haworth where she watched 'the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how anyone could imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth'. Wuthering Heights is a powerful, sombre and imaginative masterpiece—perhaps the masterpiece of all the Bronté canon. Its theme of doomed passion between Cathy Earnshaw and the foundling Heathcliff reflects its author's own bleak upbringing as clearly as its setting evokes the dark and ominous beauty of the moorland country where she lived out the years of her short life. As a novel of the darkest human passions, of love and sexual obsession, of despair and destruction, its power is matched rarely and then only by the finest of English prose and poetry. This edition contains a selection of Emily Bronté's poems. Introduction by Elizabeth Jennings. Notes by Phyllis Bentley. --back cover

      Meet the women who wrote. They wrote against all odds. Some wrote defiantly; some wrote desperately. Some wrote while trapped within the confines of status and wealth. Some wrote hand-to-mouth in abject poverty. Some wrote trapped in a room of their father’s house, and some went in search of a room of their own. They had lovers and families. They were sometimes lonely. Many wrote anonymously or under a pseudonym for a world not yet ready for their genius and talent. We know many of their names—Austen and Alcott, Brontë and Browning, Wheatley and Woolf—though some may be less familiar. They are here, waiting to introduce themselves. They marched through the world one by one or in small sisterhoods, speaking to each other and to us over distances of place and time. Pushing back against the boundaries meant to keep us in our place, they carved enough space for themselves to write. They made space for us to follow. Here they are gathered together, an army of women who wrote and an arsenal of words to inspire us. They walk with us as we forge our own paths forward. These women wrote to change the world.

      Sette magnifiche signore, sette romanzi al femminile che tracciano oltre un secolo di storia della letteratura inglese. Si inizia con le vicende della famiglia Bennet e delle loro cinque figlie, raccontate da Jane Austen in un'analisi ironica e intelligente della borghesia inglese. Si prosegue con il celebre Frankenstein di Mary Shelley, un'eccellente prova di narrativa gotica in cui il “mostro” incarna le nostre paure più profonde. I capolavori delle sorelle Brontë - Charlotte, Emily e Anne - con Jane Eyre, Cime tempestose e Agnes Grey, esplorano le dinamiche della rigida classe nobiliare vittoriana e le storie di eroi ed eroine in cerca dell'amore. Mary Anne Evans, nota come George Eliot, si ribella al romanticismo con Il velo dissolto, un breve romanzo che illumina le parti più oscure e irrazionali dell'esperienza umana. Infine, Virginia Woolf, con Gita al faro, rappresenta un esempio di letteratura del XX secolo, dove le grandi passioni cedono il passo all'intimismo e al flusso di coscienza. Queste opere offrono uno sguardo profondo e variegato sulla condizione femminile e le sfide esistenziali nel corso della storia.

      Un tema ricorrente delle poesie, e certamente centrale nell'intero ciclo, è la libertà: intesa soprattutto come liberazione. [...] Emily voleva essere liberata dalla persona propria; dalla persona tangibile, esigibile, sociale. [...] Voleva esistere in qualcos'altro, in altra forma, altrove. Voleva fare di sé un puro ascolto delle voci della natura, puro sguardo e pura visione. Fare tutt'uno con la sua fantasia. La carne che la stringeva come una prigione era quella che la separava dalle presenze spettrali che abitano la notte, il sogno, le grotte. Essere la stessa cosa del suo sogno, e non sognare.

      Cims borrascosos, una de les grans novel·les del segle XIX anglès, narra la història d'amor tèrbola i apassionada entre Heathcliff i Catherine. Amargat i pertorbat per un passat que no és capaç d'oblidar, Heathcliff malviu per la seva set de venjança i provoca la infelicitat de tots els que l'envolten. L'obra presenta, en un ambient misteriós i tràgic, l'esclat d'una passió violenta, però buida de sensualitat. El clima de puritanisme i la ingenuïtat en la visió d'alguns personatges fan encara més remarcable la intel·ligent concepció de la narració, efectiva i potent, que ha fet que sigui considerada una de les millors novel·les de tots els temps.

    • 'Grozovoi pereval' or 'Wuthering Heights' is a wild and passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine and Heathcliff.

      Grozovoj pereval
    • Akcja rozgrywa się na przełomie XVIII i XIX wieku, gdy Earnshaw, właściciel Wuthering Heights, przywozi do domu bezdomnego, cygańskiego chłopca, nakazując dzieciom traktować go jak brata. Między przybyszem a małą Cathy rodzi się silna więź, która sprawia, że ignorują konwenanse i otoczenie. Namiętność Heathcliffa i Catherine ukazuje mroczną stronę ludzkiej natury, będąc mściwą i dziką jak wrzosowiska Yorkshire. Bohaterowie płacą najwyższą cenę za swoje błędy, a następne pokolenie musi za nie odpokutować. Ostatnio z namysłem i rosnącym zachwytem odkrywam tę powieść. Zastanawiam się, dlaczego wcześniej jej nie przeczytałem, ale nie martwię się tym. Odkrycia w późniejszym wieku mają swoją wartość, a chociaż różnią się od młodzieńczych uniesień, niosą ze sobą istotne emocje. To, co kiedyś zachwycało, może teraz promieniować jeszcze silniej, ponieważ jest mniej powszechne i ma charakter świątecznej uroczystości. Uważam, że mądrzy lekarze powinni zamiast skomplikowanych recept zalecać swoim pacjentom kontakt z wielką sztuką.
