Jane Eyre è il romanzo migliore di Charlotte Bronte. Lo so che è il più famoso più che altro per la tormentata storia d'amore tra la protagonista e il tenebroso Rochester, ma dopo aver letto Shirley e Villette posso dire che è anche quello scritto meglio, più equilibrato. Ci sono tante cose con cui non sono d'accordo (e ci mancherebbe, visti gli anni che ci separano dalla pubblicazione di quest'opera, e la stessa Jane Eyre non mi è simpaticissima, ma non posso negare che il romanzo sia un vero e ...more

Wow! That was one amazing book, I am very sorry I haven't read it earlier. I have read a longer version (868pages)although I don't know what's the difference between them.
