Jane Eyre ou Les Mémoires d'une institutrice illustree

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.

Jane Eyre - GCSE 9-1 set text student edition

Le destin dramatique de Charlotte Brontë transparaît dans l'histoire de son héroïne Jane Eyre, en rupture avec le puritanisme victorien de son époque. Orpheline maltraitée, sans fortune et sans beauté, Jane entre comme gouvernante au manoir de Thornfield, pour s'éprendre du ténébreux Rochester, le maître des lieux. Entraînés par une passion sensuelle et une égale exigence morale, ils envisagent bientôt le mariage. Mais une présence mystérieuse hante ce domaine perdu entre landes et bruyères. Qui est cette femme, cette "folle" recluse dans une mansarde de Thornfield, qui menace leur union ? En plein XIXe siècle, dans l'Angleterre victorienne qui voit s'éteindre les sombres lumières du roman gothique et s'étioler les vapeurs du spleen romantique, Charlotte Brontë incarne l'audacieux combat des femmes prêtes à se battre pour leur indépendance et leur liberté.

THE other day, in looking over my papers, I found in my desk the following copy of a letter, sent by me a year since to an old school acquaintance:

"DEAR CHARLES,

"I think when you and I were at Eton together, we were neither of us what could be called popular characters: you were a sarcastic, observant, shrewd, cold-blooded creature; my own portrait I will not attempt to draw, but I cannot recollect that it was a strikingly attractive one-can you? What animal magnetism drew thee and me together I know not; certainly I never experienced anything of the Pylades and Orestes sentiment for you, and I have reason to believe that you, on your part, were equally free from all romantic regard to me. Still, out of school hours we walked and talked continually together; when the theme of conversation was our companions or our masters we understood each other, and when I recurred to some sentiment of affection, some vague love of an excellent or beautiful object, whether in animate or inanimate nature, your sardonic coldness did not move me. I felt myself superior to that check THEN as I do NOW.

"It is a long time since I wrote to you, and a still longer time since I saw you. Chancing to take up a newspaper of your county the other day, my eye fell upon your name. I began to think of old times; to run over the events which have transpired since we separated; and I sat down and commenced this letter. What you have been doing I know not; but you shall hear, if you choose to listen, how the world has wagged with me.

The Professor

" Il ne m'était pas difficile de découvrir la meilleure manière de cultiver l'esprit de France, de satisfaire son âme altérée, de favoriser l'expansion de cette force intérieure que le froid et la sécheresse avaient paralysée jusqu'à présent.

Une bienveillance continuelle cachée sous un langage austère et ne se révélant qu'à de rares intervalles par un regard empreint d'intérêt ou par un mot plein de douceur, un profond respect dissimulé sous un air impérieux, une certaine sévérité jointe à des soins assidus et dévoués, furent les moyens dont je me servis avec elle, et ceux qui convenaient le mieux à sa nature aussi fière que sensible."
