Charlotte Brontë Libri
21 aprile 1816 – 31 marzo 1855
Charlotte Brontë è stata una romanziera britannica le cui opere sono diventate standard della letteratura inglese. La sua scrittura, spesso radicata nell'esperienza personale, esplora le complessità della società, della moralità e della vita interiore dei suoi personaggi. Con incredibile potere e intuizione, ha affrontato temi come la classe sociale, la religione e l'emancipazione femminile. La sua prosa è caratterizzata dalla profondità psicologica e dalla sua capacità di creare protagoniste femminili forti e indimenticabili.
Matilda Fitzgibbon e una ricca ereditiera. Ammessa al Fuchsia Lodge, la scuola privata delle sorelle Wilcox, e subito trattata con tutti i riguardi dovuti al suo rango. All'arrivo delle vacanze di Natale, la direttrice Wilcox invia un messaggio al padre dell'allieva, ma scopre, con l'aiuto dell'amico William Ellin, che si e verificato un terribile malinteso. Un alone di mistero circonda la famiglia Fitzgibbon e le sue ricchezze. Pubblicato dopo la morte di Charlotte Bronte, Emma e l'ultimo romanzo incompiuto dell'autrice resa celebre da Jane Eyre e Villette. Questa rappresenta la prima traduzione in italiano dell'opera e comprende l'appassionata prefazione che lo scrittore William M. Thackeray le dedico sul Cornhill Magazine nel 1860.
