Riassunto

The Penguin English Library Edition of Villette di Charlotte Brontė 'Quella sera pił saldamente che mai si fissņ nella mia anima la convinzione che il Fato fosse di pietra e la Speranza un falso idolo, cieco, esangue e di granito. Sentivo anche che la prova che Dio mi aveva assegnato stava raggiungendo il culmine e che ora doveva essere affrontata dalle mie stesse mani, calde, deboli e tremanti come erano' Senza amici né famiglia, Lucy Snowe salpa dall'Inghilterra per trovare lavoro in un collegio femminile nella piccola cittą di Villette. Lģ lotta per mantenere la calma di fronte a studentesse indisciplinate, a un preside inizialmente sospettoso e ai suoi complessi sentimenti, prima per il medico inglese della scuola e poi per il dittatoriale professore Paul Emmanuel. Basato sulle sue esperienze profondamente infelici come istitutrice a Bruxelles, l'ultimo e pił autobiografico romanzo di Charlotte Brontė č uno studio profondamente toccante sull'isolamento e sul dolore dell'amore non corrisposto, narrato da un'eroina determinata a preservare il suo spirito indipendente di fronte a circostanze avverse. The Penguin English Library - 100 edizioni della migliore narrativa in inglese, dal XVIII secolo e dai primi romanzi fino all'inizio della prima guerra mondiale.

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

Charlotte Brontė was born in Yorkshire in 1816. As a child, she was sent to boarding school, where two of her sisters died; she was subsequently educated at home with her younger siblings, Emily, Branwell and Anne. As an adult, Charlotte worked as a governess and taught in a school in Brussels. Jane Eyre was first published in 1847 under the pen-name Currer Bell, and was followed by Shirley (1848), Villette (1853) and The Professor (posthumously published in 1857). In 1854 Charlotte married her father's curate, Arthur Bell Nicholls. She died in March of the following year.

Dalla quarta di copertina

With neither friends nor family, Lucy Snowe sets sail from England to find employment in a girls' boarding school in the small town of Villette. There she struggles to retain her self-possession in the face of unruly pupils, an initially suspicious headmaster and her own complex feelings, first for the school's English doctor and then for the dictatorial professor Paul Emmanuel. Drawing on her own deeply unhappy experiences as a governess in Brussels, Charlotte Brontė's last and most autobiographical novel is a powerfully moving study of isolation and the pain of unrequited love, narrated by a heroine determined to preserve an independent spirit in the face of adverse circumstances.

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

The Penguin English Library Edition of Villette by Charlotte Brontė 'That evening more firmly than ever fastened into my soul the conviction that Fate was of stone, and Hope a false idol - blind, bloodless, and of granite core. I felt, too, that the trial God had appointed me was gaining its climax, and must now be turned by my own hands, hot, feeble, trembling as they were' With neither friends nor family, Lucy Snowe sets sail from England to find employment in a girls' boarding school in the small town of Villette. There she struggles to retain her self-possession in the face of unruly pupils, an initially suspicious headmaster and her own complex feelings, first for the school's English doctor and then for the dictatorial professor Paul Emmanuel.
