It all begins with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a new series of twenty-six collectible and gift-worthy hardcover editions, each with a type cover showcasing a gorgeously illustrated letter of the alphabet by superstar type designer Jessica Hische, whose work has appeared everywhere from Tiffany & Co. to Wes Anderson's film Moonrise Kingdom to Penguin's own bestsellers Committed and Rules of Civility. A collaboration between Jessica Hische and Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, the series design encompasses foil-stamped paper-over-board cases in a rainbow-hued spectrum across all twenty-six book spines and a decorative stain on all three paper edges. Penguin Drop Caps debuts with an A for Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice, a B for Charlotte Bronts Jane Eyre, and a C for Willa Cathers My ntonia, and continues with more classics from Penguin.
B is for Bronte. A novel of intense power and intrigue, Jane Eyre dazzles and shocks readers with its passionate depiction of a woman's search for equality and freedom. Orphaned Jane Eyre grows up in the home of her heartless aunt, where she endures loneliness and cruelty, and at a charity school with a harsh regime. This troubled childhood strengthens Jane's natural independence and spiritwhich proves necessary when she takes a position as governess at Thornfield Hall. But when she finds love with her sardonic employer, Rochester, the discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a choice. Should she stay with him and live with the consequences, or follow her convictions, even if it means leaving the man she loves?

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!
