Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead, subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. How she takes up the post of governess at Thornfield Hall, meets and loves Mr Rochester and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage are elements in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman's passionate search for a wider and richer life than that traditionally accorded to her sex in Victorian society.

Charlotte Brontës Jane Eyre gilt als eine der facettenreichsten und ergreifendsten Frauenfiguren der Weltliteratur. Nach einer freudlosen Kindheit verliebt sich die junge Titelheldin in den herrischen und egozentrischen Mr. Rochester, in dessen Haus sie als Erzieherin Anstellung gefunden hat. Auch der Hausherr fühlt sich zu der intelligenten Frau hingezogen, doch hütet er ein schreckliches Geheimnis, das ihre seltsame Liebe zueinander unweigerlich überschattet. Die aufwühlende Melodramatik des Stoffs machte Brontës 1847 erschienenen Roman zu ihrem erfolgreichsten Werk.

Auf Thornfield Hall gehen nachts seltsame Dinge vor, über die niemand reden mag. Jane, eine eher unscheinbare, aber recht intelligente junge Frau, arbeitet seit kurzer Zeit hier als Gouvernante. Bald verliebt sie sich heimlich in den düsteren, jähzornigen Mr. Rochester, den Besitzer des Anwesens. Er jedoch scheint sich nur für die schöne Blanche zu interessieren...

So begins one of the most known romantic stories in the world...

Jane Eyre is a novel by English writer Charlotte Bronte, published under the pen name "Currer Bell", on 16 October 1847. The story follows the experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the brooding master of Thornfield Hall. The novel revolutionised prose fiction by being the first to focus on its protagonist's moral and spiritual development through an intimate first-person narrative, where actions and events are coloured by a psychological intensity. Charlotte Brontë has been called the first historian of the private consciousness, and the literary ancestor of writers like Proust and Joyce. The book contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of Christian morality at its core, and is considered by many to be ahead of its time because of Jane's individualistic character and how the novel approaches the topics of class, sexuality, religion and feminism. A True Classic that Belongs on Every Bookshelf!
