Summary

We find ourselves with a novel that was ahead of its time, both in the narrative and the theme, a work that transcends romanticism to enter autobiographical and ideological territories。 The character of Jane Eyre is the portrait of a woman who fights to be recognized as valuable as anyone else。 This message is now more valid than ever。  Nos hallamos ante una novela adelantada a su tiempo, tanto en lo narrativo como en lo temático, una obra que trasciende el romanticismo al uso para adentrarse en los terrenos autobiográfico e ideológico。 El personaje de Jane Eyre es el retrato de una mujer que lucha por su reconocimiento como persona tan válida como cualquier otra。 El mensaje está más vigente que nunca。

Editor Reviews

RRRR

This is one of my favorite books of all time。 I first read it as a high school assignment and full disclosure, the beginning had me bored to tears。 But stick with it - trust me。 I'm not a big reader of classic romances, but after page 80 I could not put this book down。 Over 8 years later I have read this book a total of 4 times。 This is a novel for those who don't want a conventional romance, but a story with strong, intelligent, well-rounded characters who develop complex bonds with one another over the course of the book。 It's long, but the plot is rich, the characters well formed, and the writing/plot much easier to digest than other writers of the same period。 Highly highly recommend。
