Il racconto capolavoro della scrittrice inglese Charlotte Brontë, scritto in forma autobiografica con la protagonista, Jane Eyre, che si rivolge in modo diretto al "lettore". In dissonanza con i cliché dell’epoca, il romanzo è ancora attualissimo grazie alle sue descrizioni, sempre vivaci e realistiche ma mai pedanti, l'attenzione rivolta alla psicologia dei personaggi e ai loro sentimenti. Su tutti, Jane Eyre spicca per la sua integrità, indipendenza, forza interiore e passionalità tali da renderla una persona autentica più che una creazione letteraria. Intramontabile.
