'The masterwork of a great genius' William Makepeace Thackeray A novel of intense emotional power, heightened atmosphere and fierce intelligence, Jane Eyre dazzled and shocked readers with its passionate depiction of a woman's search for equality and freedom on her own terms. Its heroine Jane endures loneliness and cruelty in the home of her heartless aunt and the cold charity of Lowood School. Her natural independence and spirit prove necessary when she takes a position as governess at Thornfield Hall. But when she finds love with her sardonic employer, Rochester, the discovery of a shameful secret forces her to make a terrible choice. Edited with an Introduction and notes by STEVIE DAVIES Review: Great purchase - Book arrived in good condition, not sure Abt the authenticity but still a great book. Looking forward to reaidng it Review: One of the best heroines of classic literature - First let's start with the copy of my book. I do wish the text could have been a bit bigger when it comes to the font. There is also meanings given in the back of certain phrases and parts that are in french (a really good addition imo). The pages are a bit too white (book readers will get what I mean lol). Overall a good product! Now the story! What can I even say about it. Jane Eyre is a beautiful story of this really strong and brave woman whose struggles through life do not alter the goodness she has. I hated St. John's character (very obvious why once you read it but understandable cause of the time it was written in). Anyways, my favorite part of the book surely was the switch that takes place in the end when it comes to the lack of power that Jane held in the starting of the book. This perfectly balances the power imbalance that was between her and Rochester. Bertha's storyline and her scenes definitely gave me goosebumps. From her creepy laughs to the final revelation! Her presence was definitely the eeriest part of the book. As for Rochester! The twist in the end when it comes to what happens to him was definitely the most shocking part of the entire book to me. His actions at one point generated sympathy at other points a huge question mark for me. But I like that he does realize his actual mistakes by the end and goes on to become better. Well.. if you do plan to read it just go for it! It's quite suitable for people of most ages and also a wonderful read.

Need better care of books by Amazon!
Arrived within 3 days. Bottom right corner of the book was bent. Makes me think twice about ordering anymore books from Amazon as only 40% of my recent book haul arrived in acceptable condition. Love Jane Eyre. Replacing my old worn out version.

Vale a pena
Ainda nao li mas o texto aconpanha comentários e artigos de apoio. O livro não tem orelha e a capa é fininha, então as bordas vieram com pequenas falhas e com o tempo pode piorar mas com cuidado ele pode se manter direitinho.

A gothic classic
An emotionally charged read. I can see why this book has the following it does, the silent yearnings of a young woman & her master woven into silent sexual tension, only to be ripped away & then joined again in tragedy. I read this decades ago, lost my copy & decided to fall back into love with Mr Rochester, oh I know the controversy, but if he's anything like the 2011 adaption with Michael Fassbender as He, then I don't care, I'll take it. My next read is Jane Eyre's Husband, a story about the life of Mr Rochester & within the context of CB work.
