this book was bought for a class at uni, years ago. i remember writing a paper on it as well, or to be more exact on another book called "wide sargasso sea" by jean rhys. it's written from the perspective of bertha, the first mrs rochester, and gives brontë's story an interesting twist.

anyway, this book's a classic. not to mention complete and unabridged.

"jane eyre is one of the great romantic heroines of world literature. orphaned into cold charity at the hands of her rich cousins and, later, at lowood school, jane escapes to take up a position as governess to the young ward of mr rochester. their love affair, jane's discovery of rochester's secret - hideously concealed in the attic of thornfield hall - and her desperate flight are told in drama of passionate intensity whose pace never slackens.

jane eyre is a love story with a happy ending, rare in its time for its sympathetic portrayal of the love of a married man for another woman. it is, as thackeray said, "the masterwork of a great genius".

Released on Wednesday, September 10, 2003 at Tampereen yliopisto in Tampere, Pirkanmaa Finland.

jane will hopefully not be in pain because of the separation from me, and will find a new (temporary) owner soon in the new university building.

sama juttu kuin mollin kanssa, yhden kieppeillä jossakin pinni been uumenissa.

jane on infopöydällä käännöstieteen laitoksen aulassa, jos sitä nyt sellaiseksi voi sanoa.
