Sinossi
Al suo apparire, nel 1847, questo romanzo intenso e vigoroso decretò subito la nascita di una grande scrittrice. Più di sessant’anni dopo, Virginia Woolf così lo commentava: «L’esaltazione ci sospinge lungo tutto il libro, senza lasciarci il tempo di pensare, senza lasciarci alzare gli occhi dalla pagina. Così intenso è il nostro assorbimento che, se qualcuno si muove nella stanza, il movimento sembra aver luogo nello Yorkshire. La scrittrice ci tiene per mano ben stretti, ci obbliga a percorrere la sua strada, ci fa vedere quello che lei vede, non ci lascia neppure un istante. Alla fine, siamo pieni del genio, della veemenza, dell’indignazione di Charlotte Brontë».

“‘Jane, be still; don't struggle so like a wild, frantic bird, that is rending its own plumage in its desperation.’ ‘I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.’” I am glad that in 1847 Charlotte Bronte made the decision to Leggi tutto
Reader, I gave it five stars. Please let me tell you why. Jane Eyre is the quintessential Victorian novel. It literally has everything that was typical of the period, but, unlike other novels, it has all the elements in one story. At the centre is the romance between Jane and Rochester, which is en
I am a very pretentious person. I try to seem “hip” and “cool” and “relatable” and “down with the teens” - and of course I totally am all of those things - but also I have my tendencies toward pretension. It’s who I am. Just last night I shuddered at the idea of popular music, like some kind of eight Leggi tutto
Old books get a bad rap...but do they deserve it? Check out my latest BooktTube Video - all about the fabulous (and not so fabulous) Olde Bois. The Written Review "Though you have a man's vigorous brain, you have a woman's heart and--it would not do." "It would do," I affirmed
I feel like an ass saying this but... who actually thinks this is a cute romance!? What the actual f!! Now that this is out of the way. I did like Jane as a character and I also liked the portion of the book about her childhood but the two RoMaNcEs were train wrecks and if I hear anyone say they love Leggi tutto
Certainly one of the best novels ever written.
My friend told me this book is kinky and she isn’t wrong. This was much weirder and darker than I thought it was going to be. All the edgy contemporary lit girlies wish they were doing it like her.
The kind of novel that makes one believe in love (again) - or at least desire to hold on to the illusion. Likely my favourite read for 2020. For the time being, just basking and swooning. Inebriated. Speechless. I know it's out of fashionAnd a trifle uncoolBut I can't help itI'm a romantic fool (Illust Leggi tutto
