Emily Brontë Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

'Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!' Emily Bronte's novel of impossible desires, violence and transgression is a masterpiece of intense, unsettling power. It begins in a snowstorm, when Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter at Wuthering Heights. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before- the intense passion between the foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, her betrayal of him and the bitter vengeance he now wreaks on the innocent heirs of the past.

Set against the haunting backdrop of the Yorkshire moors, the story unfolds through Mr. Lockwood and Nelly Dean, revealing the intense and tumultuous relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine. Their love, challenged by class differences and societal expectations, leads to heartbreak and vengeance, particularly after Catherine marries Edgar Linton. Heathcliff's quest for revenge has devastating effects on future generations, exploring themes of love, obsession, and cruelty. The morally complex characters and atmospheric setting enhance its status as a literary classic.

The literary masterpieces of the three Brontë sisters in one volume: Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. This handsome leather-bound edition includes the most acclaimed novels of each of the Brontë sisters: Charlotte’s Jane Eyre, Emily’s Wuthering Heights, and Anne’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Originally published under male pseudonyms in the 1840s, these three novels later helped give rise to the feminist literary movement of the late nineteenth century, in which women’s perspectives became more accepted by the mainstream reading public. A scholarly introduction provides an overview of the sisters’ childhood in northern England, their literary influences, and their enduring legacy.

Meet the women who wrote. They wrote against all odds. Some wrote defiantly; some wrote desperately. Some wrote while trapped within the confines of status and wealth. Some wrote hand-to-mouth in abject poverty. Some wrote trapped in a room of their father’s house, and some went in search of a room of their own. They had lovers and families. They were sometimes lonely. Many wrote anonymously or under a pseudonym for a world not yet ready for their genius and talent. We know many of their names—Austen and Alcott, Brontë and Browning, Wheatley and Woolf—though some may be less familiar. They are here, waiting to introduce themselves. They marched through the world one by one or in small sisterhoods, speaking to each other and to us over distances of place and time. Pushing back against the boundaries meant to keep us in our place, they carved enough space for themselves to write. They made space for us to follow. Here they are gathered together, an army of women who wrote and an arsenal of words to inspire us. They walk with us as we forge our own paths forward. These women wrote to change the world.

Sette magnifiche signore, sette romanzi al femminile che tracciano oltre un secolo di storia della letteratura inglese. Si inizia con le vicende della famiglia Bennet e delle loro cinque figlie, raccontate da Jane Austen in un'analisi ironica e intelligente della borghesia inglese. Si prosegue con il celebre Frankenstein di Mary Shelley, un'eccellente prova di narrativa gotica in cui il “mostro” incarna le nostre paure più profonde. I capolavori delle sorelle Brontë - Charlotte, Emily e Anne - con Jane Eyre, Cime tempestose e Agnes Grey, esplorano le dinamiche della rigida classe nobiliare vittoriana e le storie di eroi ed eroine in cerca dell'amore. Mary Anne Evans, nota come George Eliot, si ribella al romanticismo con Il velo dissolto, un breve romanzo che illumina le parti più oscure e irrazionali dell'esperienza umana. Infine, Virginia Woolf, con Gita al faro, rappresenta un esempio di letteratura del XX secolo, dove le grandi passioni cedono il passo all'intimismo e al flusso di coscienza. Queste opere offrono uno sguardo profondo e variegato sulla condizione femminile e le sfide esistenziali nel corso della storia.

'Grozovoi pereval' or 'Wuthering Heights' is a wild and passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine and Heathcliff.

Cathy and Heathcliff, childhood friends, are cruelly separated by class, fate and the actions of others. But uniting them is something even stronger: an all-consuming passion that sweeps away everything that comes between them. Even death.

"... Эдвард все еще сомневался. Но следовало позволять ему оставаться со мной в эту ночь. Но ведь он был так мне нужен. - Дай-ка мне книжку, - попросила я, показывая на книгу за его спиной. Эдвард недоуменно нахмурился, но подал..."

Cims borrascosos, una de les grans novel·les del segle XIX anglès, narra la història d'amor tèrbola i apassionada entre Heathcliff i Catherine. Amargat i pertorbat per un passat que no és capaç d'oblidar, Heathcliff malviu per la seva set de venjança i provoca la infelicitat de tots els que l'envolten. L'obra presenta, en un ambient misteriós i tràgic, l'esclat d'una passió violenta, però buida de sensualitat. El clima de puritanisme i la ingenuïtat en la visió d'alguns personatges fan encara més remarcable la intel·ligent concepció de la narració, efectiva i potent, que ha fet que sigui considerada una de les millors novel·les de tots els temps.

Includes the novels Jane Eyre, Villette, Wuthering Heights, Agnes Grey, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

And Emily Bronte’s crowning achievement is Wuthering Heights. Readers will delight in the comprehensive packaging of these classics.

Il romanzo, ispirato all'esperienza personale dell'autrice, narra la storia di Lucy Snowe, una giovane donna che si trasferisce a Bruxelles con la sorella per lavorare in un pensionato. Qui, Lucy insegna inglese mentre affronta la solitudine e la nostalgia di casa, in un ambiente cattolico che le risulta estraneo. La sua vita è segnata da un amore non corrisposto per il signor Héger, che la spinge a lasciare Bruxelles. Il romanzo, intitolato come una città immaginaria, è in parte autobiografico e riflette le aspirazioni e le lotte dell'autrice. Lucy, inizialmente trascurata, diventa una figura ammirata, e il suo percorso è ricco di colpi di scena. Il lettore è costantemente sorpreso dagli sviluppi della trama e dall'emergere di personaggi del passato, la cui presenza riporta alla luce vecchie emozioni e conflitti. La narrazione esplora temi di amore, identità e il desiderio di appartenenza, rendendo la storia di Lucy una profonda riflessione sulla condizione umana.

Da più di un secolo e mezzo, Jane Eyre affascina lettori e lettrici, e gli esperti si interrogano sul motivo del suo perdurante successo. Questo romanzo, che va oltre i colpi di scena romantici e gli elementi drammatici del gotico, presenta una protagonista ribelle che sfida le convenzioni della sua epoca. La scrittrice, con la sua audace eroina, ci invita a non confondere la convenzione con la morale. Il segreto della grande letteratura non è facilmente definibile, ma è chiaro che la voce della narratrice è straordinariamente autentica, le emozioni sono genuine e gli eventi sono esplosivi. La lotta della tenace e coraggiosa Jane contro la sua oppressiva tutrice, le dure condizioni della scuola e il rigido ordine sociale risuona profondamente, rivelando l'esperienza personale dell'autrice e il vissuto di una ragazza maltrattata dopo la perdita dei genitori. In questo epico racconto, l'amore trionfa su avversità e segreti terribili.

"In this collection of their poetry, published under gender-concealing pseudonyms, we get an intimate glimpse of their fears, hopes, faith, and desires." — Haunted Library"This collection is not only for fans of the Brontë Sisters and classic rhyming poetry but also for readers that crave heartbreaking gothic angst." — Eastside Middle SchoolAmong the most talented siblings in English literary history, the Brontë sisters are best remembered for their Emily's Wuthering Heights, Charlotte's Jane Eyre, and Anne's Tenant of Wildfell Hall, among other works. It is less well known that the sisters also composed a considerable amount of fine poetry.This volume contains forty-seven poems by all three sisters. Selections include Charlotte's "Presentiment," "Passion," two poems on the deaths of her sisters, and six more. There are twenty-three poems by Emily (considered the best poet of the three), including "Faith and Despondency" and "No Coward Soul Is Mine." The works of all three sisters share the qualities of intelligence, awareness, and heartfelt emotion, expressed in simple, highly readable verse. Gathered in this handy, inexpensive collection, the poems represent a superb introduction to a lesser-known aspect of the Brontës' literary art.

These poems offer glimpses of the joys and sorrows of the Brontes, whose lives and works have become modern-day cultural touchstones

Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte are much less well known as Curer, Ellis and Acton Bell, the pseudonyms under which they published this collection of poems. This edition of poems is a reprint of the original edition first published in 1846 at the Brontes' own expense.

The Bront sisters won immortality through their novels, but they and their brother Branwell were also outstanding poets. This generous selection of their best poems gives readers access to the personal feelings and observations woven into their great novels, from Anne's loneliness as a governess to the thrill Emily felt on the wild moors.

The poems of Emily Jane Bronte are passionate and powerful works that convey the vitality of the human spirit and of the natural world. This book contains poems attributed to her that describe the mythic country of Gondal and its citizens that she imagined with Anne, and remain the only surviving record of their joint creation.

The three great novels collected here are set in a beautiful by awe-inspiring landscape and they explore the darkest and most extreme emotions. Here are some of the most memorable characters in literature - Catherine Earnshaw, haunted by the death of her mother in child-birth; the mesmerising gypsy foundling Heathcliffe; the tragic Mr Rochester and his saviour Jayne Eyre.

Un tema ricorrente delle poesie, e certamente centrale nell'intero ciclo, è la libertà: intesa soprattutto come liberazione. [...] Emily voleva essere liberata dalla persona propria; dalla persona tangibile, esigibile, sociale. [...] Voleva esistere in qualcos'altro, in altra forma, altrove. Voleva fare di sé un puro ascolto delle voci della natura, puro sguardo e pura visione. Fare tutt'uno con la sua fantasia. La carne che la stringeva come una prigione era quella che la separava dalle presenze spettrali che abitano la notte, il sogno, le grotte. Essere la stessa cosa del suo sogno, e non sognare.

Emily Bronté's only novel is set firmly in the high moors above Haworth where she watched 'the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how anyone could imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth'. Wuthering Heights is a powerful, sombre and imaginative masterpiece—perhaps the masterpiece of all the Bronté canon. Its theme of doomed passion between Cathy Earnshaw and the foundling Heathcliff reflects its author's own bleak upbringing as clearly as its setting evokes the dark and ominous beauty of the moorland country where she lived out the years of her short life. As a novel of the darkest human passions, of love and sexual obsession, of despair and destruction, its power is matched rarely and then only by the finest of English prose and poetry. This edition contains a selection of Emily Bronté's poems. Introduction by Elizabeth Jennings. Notes by Phyllis Bentley. --back cover

"Wuthering Heights", Emily Bronte's only novel, is one of the pinnacles of 19th-century English literature. It's the story of Heathcliff, an orphan who falls in love with a girl above his class, loses her, and devotes the rest of his life to wreaking revenge on her family.

There are few more convincing, less sentimental accounts of passionate love than the story of the tormented Heathcliff, who falls wildly in love with Catherine Earnshaw, the daughter of his benefactor, and of the violence and misery that result from their thwarted longing for each other. Revised reissue.

È questa un’opera del tutto isolata nella tradizione narrativa inglese. In essa l’aspro realismo del quotidiano vive di misteriose e inquietanti tensioni onirico-simboliche e di cupe fiammate emotive, all’interno di una struttura narrativa di grande saldezza ed efficacia. Vi domina la figura di Heathcliff il quale, animato da una passione distruttiva, svolge nel libro la funzione “fatale” del vendicatore spietato, vero “replicante” di tante devastanti figure del gothic novel britannico; ma il suo tirannico porsi come l’inflessibile dark hero nasce da una disperata infelicità di fondo e lo porta a vivificare la propria morte con quella della donna amata, in una sorta di aspirazione erotico-panteistica che conferisce alla sua figura dimensioni assolutamente inedite.
