(Original, Unabridged Classic, Premium Hardbound Collector's Edition, Ideal for Gifting)
Charlotte Brontë
"The soul, fortunately, has an interpreter – often an unconscious but still a faithful interpreter – in the eye."
Jane Eyre grows up an orphan — plain, stubborn, and possessed of a fierce inner dignity that no amount of cruelty can extinguish. When she takes up a position as governess at Thornfield Hall and falls in love with the brooding, passionate Edward Rochester, she discovers that the price of happiness may require her to sacrifice the very principles that define her. Charlotte Brontë published this novel in 1847, and it was an immediate sensation.
With a Goodreads rating of 4.14 from nearly two million readers, Jane Eyre endures because of what it offers that few Victorian novels do: a female protagonist who is neither beautiful nor conventionally appealing, yet whose moral authority is absolute. Readers call it incredibly moving and unpredictable, a book as powerful today as when it first appeared.
This premium hardbound collector's edition with sprayed edges presents Brontë's original, unabridged text — a distinguished addition to any personal library.
