'Jane Eyre' ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester. However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors. Ultimately the grand passion of Jane and Rochester is called upon to survive cruel revelation, loss and reunion, only to be confronted with tragedy. AUTHOR: Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855) was oldest of the three Bronte sisters to achieve fame. Her first published novel 'Jane Eyre' remains her most popular work, but her subsequent books, 'Shirley', 'Villette' and the posthumously-published 'The Professor' are all highly rated.

Product description

Review

''At the end we are steeped through and through with the genius, the vehemence, the indignation of Charlotte Bronte.'' --Virginia Woolf

From the Back Cover

An orphan who endures a harsh childhood, Jane Eyre becomes governess at Thornfield Hall in the employment of the mysterious Mr. Rochester. Jane's moral pilgrimage and the maturity of Charlotte Bronte's characterization are celebrated aspects of the novel, as is its imagery and narrative power. Rapidly reprinted following its first publication in 1847, Jane Eyre still enjoys huge popularity as one of the finest novels in the English language.

Charlotte Brontë was born at Thornton, Yorkshire in 1816, the third child of Patrick and Maria Brontë. Her father was perpetual curate of Haworth, Yorkshire from 1820 until his death in 1861. Her mother died in 1821, leaving five daughters and a son. Charlotte was employed as a teacher from 1835 to 1838, was subsequently a governess, and in 1842 went with her sister Emily to study languages in Brussels, where during 1843 she again worked as a teacher. Charlotte’s first novel, The Professor, was rejected by several publishers and was not published until 1857. Jane Eyre was published in 1847 and achieved immediate success. In 1848 Branwell Brontë died, as did Emily before the end of the same year, and Anne in the following summer, so that Charlotte alone survived of the six children. Charlotte married in 1854 the Revd A. B Nicholls, her father’s curate, but died in March 1855.

This book is a classic because it has all the highs and lows that life can hold. Ever felt like you were different from everyone else? Ever felt like you were invisible to your family? Then you will relate to Jane. This book takes you on the journey of Jane's life as she navigates through the bad times of being an orphan, the better times of finding a friend, and the good times of falling in love. All the emotions we as humans feel are in this book. Try it for yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest books ever written
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 July 2020

This is one of my favourite books, perhaps my absolute. Excluding children's books, I have read this one far more than any other, and that's got to be saying something because I couldn't name another pre-20th-century novel that excites me like this, or even another Brontë novel that I particularly like.

I love Jane; although my personality doesn't run in complete tandem with hers, I feel like I 'get' her and therefore across time I am also 'got', in a way only introverts could understand. Jane is a voice for the voiceless, in more ways than one of course, since she also stands up for women and the poor and abused. Brontë has a sharp wit that she just throws in every now and then when I wouldn't even have thought to make a moment funny that really brings this seemingly quiet but actually fiery character to life. It is a thrill and joy every time Jane speaks her mind despite what convention states is proper for her sex and place in society; it is therefore also a joy that she meets a character who responds with that same thrill and joy to her words and actions as I do.

When I start reading the book each time, I grow excited as I look forward to certain moments I know are coming. It's impossible not to sympathise with an unfairly treated child, and when little Jane finally snaps and stands up to her tormentors, the words seem to crackle. The same is true when she grows up and takes her job at Thornfield Hall. Every encounter with Mr Rochester can't come quick enough. Some of these, and of course the bedroom fire, are moments I'd happily seek out just to read off the cuff. They are thrilling, funny and always deliciously too brief.

There are two chapters somewhere towards the end of the middle that dampen my spirits each time I reach them. (view spoiler) But then we are back on track - Jane's flight and near starvation bring tears to my eyes, and her encounters with St John Rivers hold an interesting appeal, although each time I read the novel I discover I despise him more and more thoroughly. I delight in the contrast between Rochester and St John, it perfectly fuels the desire to reach the climax of the story regardless of previous wrong-doing by certain people, handing out dramatically balanced comeuppance with love and compassion, making the ending so rewarding.

Despite all this, I don't think the book is perfect. There are times when the narration seems to waffle on too much, oddly out of sorts with the sharper, wittier stuff that I love. The first two pages don't exactly zing. I have never understood why the ending focuses on St John (am I not supposed to revile him?). I could probably do without the direct addresses to the reader all the time. The untranslated French leaves me baffled. Diana and Mary are barely realised as characters while Brontë seems to describe St John's words far more than she actually shows them to us, telling us he has this mesmerising power that we never get to experience, which makes it all the more difficult to understand how anyone could possibly like him. Also as time goes on, I find it harder to grasp exactly why Mr Rochester feels the need to make Jane jealous by pretending to be interested in Blanche Ingram - it's a lot of fun for the reader, but it just feels like a silly scheme put in by the writer rather than a logical thing a real person would actually do, (view spoiler) One must also wonder what the hell delusion Mr Rochester is living in that he thinks he could ever get away with his other more serious deception (I don't know why I'm being coy, like anyone on the planet doesn't know what his secret is), how did he think Jane was going to react when she finally found out, since he did intend to tell her?

But where it is good, which is most of it, it soars right off the page into my heart. The friendship between Jane and Rochester is one of my favourite relationships in literature. It is exactly the right blend of passion and chasteness that suits my tastes, and has probably influenced my tastes in other fiction. I just love reading about characters who see something in each other that other people are too blind to see.

Dovendo scrivere una recensione sul libro in quanto oggetto e non una mia opinione sulla trama, il libro ha tutte le pagine stampate correttamente, non presenta nessun tipo di difetto e l'immagine è rappresentativa del prodotto. Per 2.68€ direi che non posso lamentarmi di nulla, anzi. Non so cosa vi aspettiate da un libro, a me basta che ci siano tutte le pagine stampate e che siano leggibili le parole, se poi avessi voluto una qualità migliore della carta di certo non avrei comprato un libro da tre euro.
