    Jane Eyre

    Een autobiografie

    Jane Eyre is een wees. Ze belandt bij haar tante, die haar haat, dus ze moet naar een weeshuis. Op haar achttiende wordt ze gouvernante op het landgoed Thornfield. Daar ontluikt een grote liefde tussen haar en haar grillige werkgever, Edward Rochester. Hun vreemde verhouding wordt doorbroken door de onthulling van zijn duistere geheim. Wat zit daar toch op zolder? En wat betekent dat voor, of tegen Jane? Ze vlucht, verscheurd tussen haar gevoelens en haar geweten... Jane Eyre moet zich voegen, overal waar ze terechtkomt. Als negentiende-eeuwse (jonge) vrouw wordt ze uitgebuit en nagewezen. Ze is niet knap. Ze is niet rijk. Ze is de ultieme plain Jane, maar onverstoorbaar en doelmatig. Ze is volgzaam, maar ook slim. Haar gewillige aard is bedrieglijk, evenals de roman, die veel gotischer en donkerder is dan het vooroordeel wil. Jane Eyre is het door haarzelf vertelde levensverhaal van een wat stuurse, maar gepassioneerde en onverschrokken jonge vrouw.

    Villette

    Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.With neither friends nor family, Lucy Snowe sets sail from England to find employment in a girls' boarding school in the small town of Villette. There, she struggles to retain her self-possession in the face of unruly pupils, the hostility of headmistress Madame Beck, and her own complex feelings - first for the school's English doctor and then for the dictatorial professor Paul Emanuel. Drawing on her own deeply unhappy experiences as a governess in Brussels, Charlotte Brontë'sautobiographical novel, the last published during her lifetime, is a powerfully moving study of loneliness and isolation, and the pain of unrequited love, narrated by a heroine determined to preserve an independent spirit in the face of adverse circumstances. Helen M. Cooper's new introduction places the novel in the context of Brontë's life and career and argues for the importance of the novel as an exploration of imperialism.'I am only just returned to a sense of real wonder about me, for I have been reading Villette' George Eliot'Her finest novel'Virginia Woolf

    Villette

    Charlotte Brontë's last novel, Villette, is thought to be most closely modelled on her own experiences teaching in a pensionnat in Brussels, the place on which the fictional town of Villette is based. In the novel, first published in 1853, we follow the protagonist Lucy Snowe from the time she is fourteen and lives with her godmother in rural England, through her family tragedies and departure for the town of Villette where she finds work at a French boarding school. People from her past reappear in dramatic ways, she makes new connections, and she learns the stories and secrets of the people around her. Through it all, the reader is made privy to Lucy's thoughts, feelings, and journey of self-discovery.

Lass mich nur einen Atemzug tun!'Sturmumwehte Anwesen und nebelbedeckte Moore bilden die ikonischen Schauplätze der Romane der Schwestern Charlotte, Emily und Anne Brontë.
