وصف الكتاب | The penguin english library edition of jane eyre by charlotte bronte 'the more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained i am, the more i will respect myself' passionate, poetic and revolutionary, jane eyre is a novel of naked emotional power. Its story of a defiant, fiercely intelligent woman who refuses to accept her appointed place in society - and instead finds love on her own terms - has become famous as one of the greatest romances ever written, but it is also a brooding gothic mystery, a profound depiction of character and a transformative work of the imagination. |
