Jane Eyre er fortællingen om den forældreløse og fattige Jane, der vokser op i 1800-tallets England hos sin onkel og dennes tyranniske kone og børn, der mishandler hende både fysisk og psykisk og til sidst beslutter at sende hende til kostskolen Lowood. På Lowood bliver Jane nedgjort og ydmyget af den ondskabsfulde inspektør pastor Brocklehurst, men hun knytter også nære og varme relationer, som får stor indflydelse på resten af hendes liv. Da Janes skoletid er forbi, og efter at have arbejdet nogle år som lærerinde på Lowood, får hun arbejde som guvernante på det store gods Thornfield Hall. Her stifter hun bekendtskab med godsets ejer, den mystiske Mr Rochester, som hun senere forelsker sig i, men både Thornfield Hall og Mr Rochester gemmer på dystre hemmeligheder, der tvinger Jane ud i svære beslutninger."Bogen er den dag i dag tilfredsstillende for fantasien, fordi den rummer alle de elementære ønskedrømselementer og samtidig følger urtypen på en 'rigtig historie' – selve eventyrets linie. Der er ikke så forfærdelig mange bøger i verdenslitteraturen, der har denne elementære dragning, og de der er der, elskes uforandret gennem generationer." - Elsa Gress"Så åbner vi Jane Eyre … Forfatteren har fat i vores hånd og fører os med på hendes vej, får os til at se, hvad hun ser, forlader os ikke et øjeblik eller lader os glemme hende. Til sidst er vi gennemtrængt af Charlotte Brontës geni, hendes heftighed, hendes indignation … Det er den røde og urolige glød fra hjertets brand, der illuminerer hendes sider." - Virginia Woolf"Charlotte Brontës roman om den forældreløse Jane Eyre er en af romanhistoriens helt store klassikere. Romanen, der nu genudgives, har det hele: Dannelse, lidenskab og en spirende kvindefrigørelse." - Per Krogh Hansen, Berlingske

'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.

Ny oversættelseJane Eyre er den victorianske askepot-historie om den forladte pige, der vokser op som udstødt først hos sin tante – siden på en kostskole for forældreløse piger. Men Jane Eyre er andet og mere end det; kreativ, videbegærlig og ambitiøs, som hun er, får hun arbejde som guvernante på et gods tilhørende den vilde og sprudlende mr. Rochester med de mere ”mørke” sider. Jane er derimod følelsesmæssigt et ubeskrevet blad, da hun møder Rochester, men sammen med ham lærer hun gradvist sine følelser og lidenskaber at kende. Et universelt og nuanceret portræt af en selvstændig kvindes udvikling og selvrealisation.Denne nye oversættelse af Charlotte Brontës evige klassiker om Jane Eyre består af to bind. Dette er det første.Den engelske romanforfatter Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855) er især kendt for Jane Eyre, der føjede nye og mere realistiske nuancer til victoriansk fiktion. Hun var den ældste og mest produktive af de tre Brontësøstre, hvor Emily Brontë er mest kendt for Stormfulde højder, og Anne Brontë for Agnes Grey.Jane Eyre (1845) var Charlotte Brontës første roman og skulle blive et af de allermest kendte og berømmede værker fra den klassiske engelske victoriatid. Genfærd, mystiske hændelser, låste værelser, afdøde personer, der får markant indflydelse på romanernes handling – dette var emner, den såkaldte gotiske roman tog op, godt inspireret af samtidens store interesse for det overnaturlige – og for det spirende psykologiske. Også i Jane Eyre findes disse virkemidler, og tilbage står man med en roman, som hensætter læsereni gys og spænding.De gotiske romaner skulle over én kam komme til at skabe inspiration for meget senere litteratur og danne grobund for mange især kvindelige forfattere, der i de tre Brontë-søstre fandt stærke forbilleder. Brontë-søstrene skabte værker, der i dag stadig står som varige fyrtårne i den klassiske litteratur. Charlotte Brontës roman om Jane Eyre er et af dem.
