About this audiobook
The novel revolutionized prose fiction by being the first to focus on its protagonist's moral and spiritual development through an intimate first-person narrative, where actions and events are colored by a psychological intensity. Charlotte Brontë has been called the "first historian of the private consciousness".
The work contains elements of social criticism with a strong sense of Christian morality at its core, and it is considered by many to be ahead of its time because of Jane's individualistic character and how the novel approaches the topics of class, sexuality, religion, and feminism. Jane Eyre is one of the most famous romance novels of all time.

Charlotte Bronte
Charlotte Bronte nació en 1816 en Thronton (Yorkshire), tercera hija de Patrick Brontë y Maria Branwell. En 1820 el padre fue nombrado vicario perpetuo de la pequeña aldea de Haworth, en los páramos de Yorkshire, y allí pasaría Charlotte casi toda su vida. Huérfanos de madre a muy corta edad, los cinco hermanos Brontë fueron educados por una tía. En 1824, Charlotte, junto con sus hermanas Emily, Elizabeth y Maria, acudió a una escuela para hijas de clérigos; Elizabeth y Maria murieron ese mismo año, y Charlotte siempre lo atribuyó a las malas condiciones del internado. Estudiaría posteriormente un año en una escuela privada, donde ejerció asimismo como maestra; fue luego institutriz, y maestra de nuevo en un pensionado de Bruselas, donde en 1842 estuvo interna con Emily. De vuelta a Haworth, en 1846 consiguió publicar un volumen de Poesías con sus hermanas Emily y Anne, con el pseudónimo, respectivamente, de Currer, Ellis y Acton Bell. Su primera novela, El profesor (ALBA CLÁSICA núm. XLIV), no encontró editor, y no sería publicada hasta 1857. Pero, como Currer Bell, publicó con éxito Jane Eyre (1847; ALBA CLÁSICA MAIOR núm. IV). En 1848, mientras morían a su alrededor Emily y Anne y su hermano Branwell, escribió Shirley (ALBA CLÁSICA núm. XXX), que sería publicada al año siguiente. Su última novela fue Villette (1853). Charlotte se casó con el reverendo A. B. Nicholls un año antes de morir en 1855.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I always wanted to know what is in the book as all I done is watched the film many years ago. It's good! It's classic! Is beautiful! Some fun things to hard to understand, for example "will you marry me?" "Yes set" ? made me laugh. Definitely worth it time to time take time with old good classic ❤️
