Résumé

This carefully crafted ebook: “Jane Eyre + Wuthering Heights (2 Unabridged Classics)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.

Charlotte Brontë's most beloved novel describes the passionate love between the courageous orphan Jane Eyre and the brilliant, brooding, and domineering Rochester. The loneliness and cruelty of Jane's childhood strengthens her natural independence and spirit, which prove invaluable when she takes a position as a governess at Thornfield Hall. But after she falls in love with her sardonic employer, her discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a heart-wrenching choice. Ever since its publication in 1847, Jane Eyre has enthralled every kind of reader, from the most critical and cultivated to the youngest and most unabashedly romantic. It lives as one of the great triumphs of storytelling and as a moving and unforgettable portrayal of a woman's quest for self-respect.
Born into a poor family and raised by an oppressive aunt, young Jane Eyre becomes the governess at Thornfield Manor to escape the confines of her life. There her fiery independence clashes with the brooding and mysterious nature of her employer, Mr. Rochester. But what begins as outright loathing slowly evolves into a passionate romance. When a terrible secret from Rochester's past threatens to tear the two apart, Jane must make an impossible choice: Should she follow her heart or walk away and lose her love forever?
Considered by many to be Charlotte Brontë’s masterpiece, Jane Eyre chronicles the passionate love between the independent and strong-willed orphan Jane Eyre and the dark, impassioned Mr. Rochester. Having endured a lonely and cruel childhood, orphan Jane Eyre, who is reared in the home of her heartless aunt prior to attending a boarding school with an equally torturous regime, is strengthened by these experiences. The natural independence and unbroken spirit she emerges with allows her to thrive as a governess at Thornfield Hall. It is only after she falls in love with her employer and discovers his explosive secret that she is forced to return to the poverty and isolation of her past.

Wuthering Heights is the only published novel by Emily Brontë, written between October 1845 and June 1846 and published in July of the following year. It was not printed until December 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, after the success of her sister Charlotte Brontë's novel Jane Eyre. A posthumous second edition was edited by Charlotte in 1850. It is one of the world's greatest tales of unrequited love, captivating readers with its intense passion and drama. A classic novel of consuming passions, played out against the lonely moors of northern England, recounts the turbulent and tempestuous love story.
The title of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors of the story. The narrative centres on the all-encompassing, passionate, but ultimately doomed love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and the people around them.

Auteur

  • Troisième fille d'un pasteur anglican, Charlotte Brontë est née en 1816 à Haworth. À 10 ans, retirée de l'école religieuse où deux de ses sœurs ont contracté la tuberculose, qui leur sera fatale, elle commence à écrire, concevant avec son frère et ses sœurs un univers de fantaisie. À 19 ans, elle devient gouvernante et commence à rédiger Le professeur, qu'enrichira son séjour dans une pension de jeunes filles en Belgique, en 1842.
    Son projet de créer une école avec ses sœurs n'aboutira pas, mais en 1846, sous le pseudonyme de Bell, paraît leur premier recueil. Nourri de tant d'expériences, Jane Eyre trouve un éditeur en 1847 et connaît un vif succès. Trollope, George Eliot, Thackeray ne cachent pas leur admiration. Deux romans suivront, Shirley en 1849 et Villette en 1853.
    Mariée en 1854, elle meurt de maladie en 1855.

  • Emily Brontë (auteur)

    Née en 1818, Emily Brontë a publié Les Hauts de Hurle-Vent (" Pavillons Poche ", 2018) en 1847 sous le pseudonyme d'Ellis Bell. Si ce roman, grand classique de la littérature, raconte une histoire d'amour destructrice, hantée par la mort et la cruauté de ses personnages, la jeune auteure vivait recluse avec son père, ses sœurs Anne et Charlotte et son frère, et n'a jamais fait l'expérience d'une telle passion. C'est dans son imagination qu'elle a puisé cet amour atroce, créateur d'un monstre. Emportée par la tuberculose à trente ans, en 1848, elle n'écrira pas d'autre roman mais des poèmes, tous publiés sous pseudonyme.
