""Ein erstaunlich moderner Roman."Berliner ZeitungAuf Thornfield Hall gehen nachts seltsame Dinge vor, über die niemend 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."'Jane Eyre', das ist einfach tolle Literatur." Berliner Zeitung"'Jane Eyre' gehört noch heute, nach über hundertfünfzig Jahren, zu den beliebtesten Romanen." FAZDie Autorin Charlotte Brontëist die älteste der heute weltberühmten Brontë -Schwestern. 1816 als Tochter einer Pfarrerfamilie in Thornton geboren, war sie von 1838 bis 1842 als Gouvernante tätig und besuchte 1842 ein Sprachenpensionat in Brüssel. Ansonsten verbrachte sie die meiste Zeit ihres Lebens gemeinsam mit ihren Schwestern Emily und Anne sowie ihrem Bruder Branwell in Yorkshire. Mitte der vierziger Jahre begann sie ihren ersten Roman "Der Professor" zu schreiben. Als 1847 ihrer Schwester Emily mit "Wuthering Heights" (Sturmhöhe) der Durchbruch gelang, veröffentlichte Charlotte im selben Jahr unter dem männlichen Pseudonym Currer Bell ihren Roman "Jane Eyre", der sie schlagartig berühmt machte. Zu ihren Lebzeiten kontrovers diskutiert, gilt das eindrückliche Porträt der selbstbewussten und rational denkenden Titelfigur bis heute als ein Paradebeispiel der viktorianischen Literatur. Charlotte Brontë starb 1855 im Alter von nicht einmal 39 Jahren in Haworth."
""Bronte's infamous Gothic novel tells the story of orphan Jane, a child of unfortunate circumstances. Raised and treated badly by her aunt and cousins and eventually sent away to a cruel boarding school, it is not until Jane becomes a governess at Thornfield that she finds happiness. Meek, measured, but determined, Jane soon falls in love with her brooding and stormy master, Mr Rochester, but it is not long before strange and unnerving events occur in the house and Jane is forced to leave Thornfield to pursue her future." -- amazon.com 1/31/13."@en

"Jane Eyre is a first-person narrative of the title character. The novel goes through five distinct stages: Jane's childhood at Gateshead, where she is emotionally and physically abused by her aunt and cousins; her education at Lowood School, where she acquires friends and role models but also suffers privations; her time as the governess of Thornfield Hall, where she falls in love with her Byronic employer, Edward Rochester; her time with the Rivers family at Marsh's End (or Moor House) and Morton, where her cold clergyman-cousin St John Rivers proposes to her; and her reunion with and marriage to her beloved Rochester. It is a novel considered ahead of its time. In spite of the dark, brooding elements, it has a strong sense of right and wrong, of morality at its core."@en
