Paul Hogarth Knihy

Jane Eyrová, najznámejšie dielo Charlotty Brontëovej, je román, kde je hlavnou postavou mladá rozprávačka, drobná, nie práve krásna, ale inteligentná a čestná anglická sirota. Dej románu prechádza niekoľkými obdobiami: Janino detstvo v Gatesheade, kde jej život strpčujú teta a jej rozmaznané deti. Jej pobyt a vzdelávanie v Lowoodskej dievčenskej škole pre chudobné dievčatá a siroty, kde si získava priateľky, ale trpí nedostatkom - či už stravy alebo príjemného prostredia, jej pôsobenie ako opatrovateľky v sídle Thornfield Manor, kde sa zamiluje do svojho zamestnávateľa Edwarda Rochestera, obdobie strávené s rodinou Riversovcov v Moor House a Mortone, kde ju jej chladný bratranec-kňaz požiada o ruku, a jej opätovné stretnutie a manželstvo s milovaným Rochesterom v jeho dome vo Ferndeane. Čiastočne autobiografický román je plný spoločenskej kritiky a pochmúrnych gotických prvkov. Na vtedajšie pomery bol veľmi pokrokový, pretože nekopíruje len zásady romantizmu, ale miešajú sa v ňom aj nové, realistické prvky a motívy.

This is Doris Lessing's account of a journey back to the land in which she grew up and in which so much of her concern is still invested. Her love of Africa is as strong as her hatred of the white supremacy rule that has haunted its past.
