Book description
Nominada por los estadounidenses como una de las 100 mejores novelas en la serie de PBS The Great American Read. ¿Por qué siempre tenía que sufrir yo? ¿Estar siempre vigilada, siempre acusada y condenada sin remisión?Jane es una niña huérfana que se ha educado en un orfanato miserable. Sin embargo, pese a todas las adversidades que la vida ha dispuesto en su camino, su inteligencia y su afán por aprender consiguen apartarla del mundo de su gris infancia, y logra establecerse como institutriz. Mientras trata de cuidar y educar a la joven Adèle, Jane empezará a trabar una estrecha relación con Edward Rochester, el padre de la pupila. Pero su amor se verá enturbiado al descubrir que su mujer, demente, vive todavía encerrada en una habitación de la casa. La crítica literaria y biógrafa Stevie Davies firma la reveladora introducción que precede a la novela, espléndidamente traducida por el escritor Toni Hill. Se ofrece así la perspectiva histórica y literaria de una obra que supuso todo un fenómeno en su época, además de un escándalo y una revolución en los círculos culturales. William Makepeace Thackeray dijo... La obra maestra de un gran genio. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Charlotte Bronte's moving masterpiece - the novel that has been "teaching true strength of character for generations" (The Guardian) A novel of intense power and intrigue, Jane Eyre has dazzled generations of readers with its depiction of a woman's quest for freedom. Having grown up an orphan in the home of her cruel aunt and at a harsh charity school, Jane Eyre becomes an independent and spirited survivor-qualities that serve her well as governess at Thornfield Hall. But when she finds love with her sardonic employer, Rochester, the discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a choice. Should she stay with him whatever the consequences or follow her convictions, even if it means leaving her beloved? This updated Penguin Classics edition features a new introduction by Bronte; scholar and award-winning novelist Stevie Davies, as well as comprehensive notes, a chronology, further reading, and an appendix. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
About the Author
Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) nació en Thornton, Yorkshire, la tercera hija de Patrick Brontë y Maria Branwell. En 1820 el padre fue nombrado vicario perpetuo de la pequeña aldea de Haworth, en los páramos de Yorkshire, y allí pasaría Charlotte casi toda su vida. Huérfanos de madre a muy corta edad, los cinco hermanos Brontë fueron educados por una de sus tías. En 1824, Charlotte, junto con sus hermanas Emily, Elizabeth y Maria, acudió a una escuela para hijas de clérigos; Elizabeth y Maria murieron ese mismo año, y Charlotte siempre lo atribuyó a las malas condiciones del internado. Estudiaría posteriormente en una escuela privada, donde ejerció asimismo como maestra; fue luego institutriz y maestra de nuevo en un pensionado de Bruselas, donde en 1842 estuvo interna con Emily. De vuelta a Haworth, en 1846 consiguió publicar un volumen de Poesías con sus hermanas Emily y Anne, con el seudónimo, respectivamente, de Currer, Ellis y Acton Bell. Su primera novela, El profesor, no encontró editor. Pero, como Currer Bell, publicó con éxito Jane Eyre. En 1848, mientras morían Emily y Anne, y su hermano Branwell, escribió Shirley, que sería publicada al año siguiente. Su última novela fue Vilette. Charlotte se casó con el reverendo A.B. Nicholls un año antes de morir.
