'Such a strange book! Imagine a novel with a little swarthy governess for heroine, and a middle-aged ruffian for hero.' Sharpe's London Magazine (June 1855) Jane Eyre is an orphan grown up under the harsh regime first of her aunt and then as a pupil at Lowood Institution. She leaves to become a governess to the daughter of the mysterious Mr Rochester; gradually their relationship deepens, but Jane's passionate nature has yet to endure its deepest blows. In this new edition Sally Shuttleworth explores the power of a narrative that questions the rights of women, the nature of servitude and madness, martyrdom and rebellion in a story whose emotional charge is a strong today as it was more than 150 years ago.
Jane Eyre, Crystal S. Chan, Charlotte Brontë
Moja prvá dlhá knižka, ktorú som prečítala v 12 rokoch a príbeh Jany ma hlboko zasiahol. Smrť kamarátky na týfus, sama bez lásky rodičov v sirotčinci, tragická láska, bláznivá (ex)manželka jej milého a šťastný koniec ma prinútili knihu čítať opakovane.
