Jane Eyre

Universally acknowledged as one of the most popular and brilliant books ever written, "Jane Eyre" is Charlotte Brontë's masterpiece, often listed with Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" as among the finest romance novels in existence.

The story follows the hardscrabble life of its eponymous lead character, Jane Eyre, who is orphaned at a young age and forced to live under the rule of her heartless Aunt Reed and her equally cruel children. Sent to a boarding school, Jane finds life little better there as she endures harsh conditions and the same kind of brutal treatment she received from her family.

Jane eventually finds work as a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she meets and becomes enamored of the surly lord of the manor, Edward Rochester who, it soon becomes apparent, harbors a dark and mysterious secret.

A thrilling and groundbreaking novel of love, social criticism and romance, "Jane Eyre" has become one of the most beloved books in the English language and is presented here in its original and unabridged format along with a brief biography of the author.
