JANE EYRE (originally published as Jane Eyre: An Autobiography) is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë. It was published on 16 October 1847, by Smith, Elder & Co. of London, England, under the pen name “Currer Bell.” The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York. Primarily of the Bildungsroman genre, Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the Byronic master of fictitious Thornfield Hall. In its internalisation of the action—the focus is on the gradual unfolding of Jane's moral and spiritual sensibility, and all the events are coloured by a heightened intensity that was previously the domain of poetry—Jane Eyre revolutionised the art of fiction. Charlotte Brontë has been called the ‘first historian of the private consciousness’ and the literary ancestor of writers like Joyce and Proust. The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is nonetheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the individualistic character of Jane and the novel's exploration of classism, sexuality, religion, and proto-feminism.

Emocionante

Eu simplesmente amei o livro, li em inglês mesmo, era para um trabalho da escola, imaginei que não iria gostar...
Me perdi na história algumas vezes, mas sempre consegui retomar e compreender tudo, é uma leitura muito boa, li tudo no mesmo dia mesmo, é curtinho e a leitura flui bem.

Vale lembrar que o livro não envolve apenas o romance, devemos valorizar a história de Jane, sua trajetória, passou a vida toda com dificuldades... A independência que esse livro representa é tudo! Ele não deve ficar marcado como uma literatura de romance clichê, em que a mocinha depende do mocinho e eles se apaixonam e tudo da certo...

Leiam, recomendo bastante!
