Jane Eyre Paperback – 31 July 2017

Must read book, cannot ommit this wonderful classic novel full of human feelings and emotions and the presence of an omnipotent power which we call God.

Bronte sisters’ books are well-known so I don’t need to say anything about it. This volume costed me about ₹180, and I received it just in a single day.

I'm a fan of purchasing books from here and I got Jane Eyre in a very good price. The front and back cover are totally good, but the problem was with the side binding that's why I have four stars. Over all the pages are magnificent and some people will find the letters a tad bit small but for me they're amazing💞 p.s. the side binding thing happened due to the delivery made harshly. I request Amazon to give their deliveries a nice push.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte is certainly one of the very best of classics. Published in 1847, it is widely acclaimed as the best romance ever written. A gothic mystery, a tantalizing tale of mystery and suspense, a most romantic love story; call it whatever you may, Jane Eyre is all of them.It tells the story of a young girl of the same name as that of the book's title, who is harassed, and tortured. She is sent to a school where there is no food to eat and no fire to warm. Her only friend there dies of disease. She is alone, sad and withered. But she chooses to rise, rise high and above. She educates herself, with all that was available for her; becomes a teacher and then a governess at the Thornfield Hall. Here her life takes a sharp turn. From a life of solitude and discourage, she now begins to love and been loved by someone. This someone is none other than the master of the hall itself, Mr. Edward Rochester.But there's a mystery just around the corner. The master hides a dark secret, the revelation of which forces Miss Eyre too flee from the hall only to return a year after. Meanwhile, Mr. Rochester goes through a tragic affair that results in him becoming blind. Nevertheless, rest yourself assure that the story has a happy ending.Jane Eyre is a story of passion and willpower of a woman who rises to become an equal to them who have since long vanquished her from this equality. It presents itself as a predominant feminist novel. The titular character Miss Eyre is not only ordinary looking but is also malnourished and elfin type. She has the features of a sufferer who is not given her full rights and who fights for them. Apart from a small part where she is in a desperate condition, Jane Eyre never gives up and always stands up against a challenge.Charlotte Bronte, the author of this incredible tale, sews around a most fantastic plot whose main characteristics include that of a romance, gothic and macabre. She vividly describes the characters and their features. The setting in particular is so very absorbing. The horse drawn carriages, the snowy mountains, a scenic locality and in between a villa, so rich in its mystery that you feel as if you are the one standing in front of it. A golden addition to the already grand prose, are the intertwining small sequences of humor and comedy. Particularly enjoying is the episode of Mr. Rochester disguising himself as a gypsy to find the true nature of Miss Blanc Ingram. Thus in all of its beauty and majesty, Jane Eyre promises to be a wonderful read.Now, of the singular edition that I was bestowed with, the penguin English library Jane Eyre.

I am one of those adults who love or at least realize the importance of classics, credit goes to the eccentric and a highly elite school curricular. My first ever book review is dedicated to one such classic which will never go out of fashion and is a clear proof of excellence. “JANE EYRE”It is a story about an orphan, who lost her parents at the age when she was too little to remember them. Her paternal uncle took her to his house, and dies not to long after this. Before, he takes his last breathe, he makes his wife promise that she will take care of his niece as her own child. Unfortunately, for Jane her aunt doesn’t keep her promise, and did everything she could to make her life miserable. She considered Jane as a burden and disliked her for being below par. Her children were no less, under their mother’s assuagement, they mistreated and making her clear that she will never be the part of their family.At the age of ten, Jane was sent to a school where her life was no better. A charity school run under the savage director Mr. Brocklehurst. He considered, punishing the students physically a chance to cure and save their souls. Jane remains at the school for eight years, six as a student and later as a teacher. After that she decides to look for a new service, for which she gives an advertisement in the news papers offering her services as a teacher.She eventually get a job (at Thornfield) to be a governess of an only child, who soon becomes very fond of her. Jane gets to know Mr. Rochester, the owner of the Thornfield and with time falls in love with him. In this time she realizes that social status and age difference are not the obstacles to get married. On the day of their wedding a terrible and an unexpected secret comes out, which tears her apart.It is a book, you don’t want to keep down. My heart went out to the main character Jane Eyre, her emotions are so beautifully penned that you can feel it in your own heart. Charlette Bronte had truly created a master piece, which a lot of today’s writer fails to do.Every character in the book is detailed, and you can relate to them. From the struggles of an Orpan child to the love of story of an adult is one of the bests I have ever read. So, it is to everyone who’s looking for something worthy and powerful with a great story line to read “THIS IS THE BOOK”.I highly recommend this book to the CLASSIC BOOK lovers.

There are rare classics which carries your interest throughout and this did it wisely, Perfect blend of mystery and romance with gothic elements, At the end of the book you can't help but to fall in love with "Jane Eyre".

Amazing

Wouldn't dwell on the book as it's universally accepted as one of the greatest books of all time. Coming to the quality of book, i didn't like how it was delivered to me. A little bit tampered on the edges and also no bookmark. Like all the people in the review section got it but I didn't. Quite disappointed for that. Hence, giving 4 stars 1 star less because of the negligence.

5+ stars & 9/10 hearts. I LOVED this book. Wow. I did not expect to love it so much! I read it several times as a kid and was profoundly impacted by the setting and storyline. Rereading it as an adult, I was impacted by the themes, messages, and characters.Jane Eyre is often seen as a dark book. I, instead, found it very beautiful and hopeful. I loved Jane. She was so wise and strong and loving. Really, she became one of my favourite female characters ever. Her story is so sad and yet it is hopeful too. I would love to be a Jane—so willing to help, so eager to love, so strong in trial, so full of faith. The way she combats suicide and depression, grief and pain, pressure and cruelty to live the life she knows God wants for her, is wonderfully inspiring.Mr. Rochester was another character I loved. I related to his weakness and his desire to do good but his lack of willingness to try to be good. After all, he had a good heart. He could have done any number of things to the woman he was chained with and yet he did do her the best he could—as he thought. I loved seeing his redemption arc so much. And as a man, he was just a very entertaining, fascinating, interesting person….St. John I strongly disliked. What a hypocritical, supercilious Pharisee. He was a “good” man and yet he was not a good man. He was certain that he and he alone was right. He even tried to play God with Jane. If she had obeyed him, she would have killed herself (no use at all to the Lord) and have run right by her true calling. And he was cruel and harsh to her—while pretending to be as merciful and long-suffering as Christ Jesus. I couldn’t stand St. John. Yet his sisters were lovely!The plot was fascinating. Twisty and unexpected all the way to the end, and so varied—from the luxurious but abusive Reed home to Lowood, first cold and cruel, then warm and nurturing; from Thornfield Hall, so dark and gloomy, haunted by a sinister secret, yet blossoming with love and happiness; to the moors, stern and beautiful, and the little village, simple and hearty… and then, the ending place—damp, lonely, and full of human joy. The messages are wonderful—so many reminders about the seriousness of marriage; about not putting up idols in your heart instead of God; about being yourself but in a holy, temperate way; about true charity, about the foolishness of ranks and caste; about the meaning of true love… While there is sadness and ugliness presented in this book, and Brontë does not shy away from portraying sin (see content list below), everything was well handled and was only used to make redemption and Light stand out. The writing style is simply brilliant and the humour excellent; the other characters are all so alive and varied and interesting; the setting is fascinating and so well detailed… it’s a simply beautiful book with a really beautiful message.Content: drinking; smoking; kissing, touching, hugging, between Jane & Mr. R. before engagement; Mr. R. had many mistresses & an illegitimate child; he tries to get Jane to live with him without being married; attempted bigamy; some language; some theology I don’t necessarily agree with. Recommended age: 18+A Favourite Quote: “I hold another creed … in which I delight, and to which I cling: for it extends hope to all: it makes Eternity a rest—a mighty home, not a terror and an abyss. Besides, with this creed, I can so clearly distinguish between the criminal and his crime; I can so sincerely forgive the first while I abhor the last: with this creed revenge never worries my heart, degradation never too deeply disgusts me, injustice never crushes me too low: I live in calm, looking to the end.”A Favourite Beautiful Quote: “I saw the fascination of the locality. I felt the consecration of its loneliness: my eye feasted on the outline of swell and sweep—on the wild colouring communicated to ridge and dell by moss, by heath-bell, by flower-sprinkled turf, by brilliant bracken, and mellow granite crag. These details were just to me what they were to them—so many pure and sweet sources of pleasure. The strong blast and the soft breeze; the rough and the halcyon day; the hours of sunrise and sunset; the moonlight and the clouded night, developed for me, in these regions, the same attraction as for them—wound round my faculties the same spell that entranced theirs.”A Favourite Humorous Quote: “‘What age were you when you went to Lowood?’“‘About ten.’“‘And you stayed there eight years: you are now, then, eighteen?’“I assented.“‘Arithmetic, you see, is useful; without its aid, I should hardly have been able to guess your age.’”

alles gut

Les lecteurs du roman de Charlotte Brontë (...) prendront un plaisir de connaisseur au spectacle d'un récit habilement condensé, j'adore...Des petits airs de "mélo horrifique", auxquels se succèdent tour à tour un réalisme social et une poésie picturale digne de la beauté plastique.Les Hauts de Hurlevent" souffle sur cette histoire d'amour tragique marquée par une tristesse et une mélancolie poignantes, et qui évite tous les écueils du mélodrame costumé par la grâce d'une mise en scène stupéfiante d'élégance et de lyrisme, a lire ou a revoir sans modération, je vous le recommande

I love this series in comfortable and decorative flexibound! The quality of the paper and the font is just right for me, too. Very happy with my purchase!
