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.

      Drsná yorkshirská vřesoviště vždy utvářela charakter i život lidí, kteří se tam rozhodli usadit. Místní zeman, pan Earnshow, se rozhodne pečovat o opuštěného chlapce a vychovávat ho jako vlastního. Pojmenuje ho podle jeho zálib toulat se po místních vřesovištích Heathcliff. Nalezenec se velmi sblíží s jeho dcerou Kateřinou, ale nevinné lásce krutá realita viktoriánského světa nepřeje. Krásný cit se může velmi rychle změnit na čistou a nemilosrdnou nenávist… Nesmrtelný příběh Na větrné hůrce se řadí spolu s románem Jih proti Severu a Anna Karenina k nejlepším a nejčtenějším dílům romantické literatury. Kniha se dočkala i několika filmových zpracování.

    • The Bront sisters won immortality through their novels, but they and their brother Branwell were also outstanding poets. This generous selection of their best poems gives readers access to the personal feelings and observations woven into their great novels, from Anne's loneliness as a governess to the thrill Emily felt on the wild moors.

    • 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 The poems situated at the conclusion went unpublished for decades and did not appear in print until 1908.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.

      The literary masterpieces of the three Brontë sisters in one volume: Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. This handsome leather-bound edition includes the most acclaimed novels of each of the Brontë sisters: Charlotte’s Jane Eyre, Emily’s Wuthering Heights, and Anne’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. 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.
