Bøger af Anne Brontë

The only one-volume hardcover edition of the two uncommonly powerful novels written by the youngest of the famous Brontë sisters. Anne Brontë wrote these two fantastically successful novels just before her tragically early death, both of them in a much more grittily realistic mode than the more romantic ones favored by her sisters. Agnes Grey, the story of a governess working for disdainful and cruel employers, is a wrenching account of the desperate straits faced by Victorian women without money or husband. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall tells a story that was shocking for its time: a woman leaves her alcoholic and abusive husband in order to protect their young son and must live in hiding to prevent the law from taking her child away from her. These novels have become classics not only by dint of the subtle and ironic force of Anne Brontë's prose but because of the passionate indictments of social injustice that animate them.

Una misteriosa viuda acaba de llegar a Wildfell Hall. Helen Graham y su hijo pequeño Arthur tratan de pasar desapercibidos, pero su presencia despierta la curiosidad de los habitantes del pueblo. Gilbert Markham se enamora de ella y, tras un apasionado cortejo, le propone matrimonio, pero Helen Graham lo rechaza. En ese momento, parece que nada podrá consolar y aplacar a Gilbert, pero entonces Helen le entrega sus diarios.A través de ellos Gilbert descubrirá el terrible pasado de Helen, su sufrimiento y su lucha para proteger a su hijo. «La inquilina de Wildfell Hall» es la historia de una mujer valiente que en la Inglaterra del siglo XIX decide alzarse contra los abusos y los maltratos.Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano.Anne Brontë (1820-1849) fue una novelista y poetisa británica.

Escaping from the confines of a bad marriage a woman shows up at the dilapidated mansion Wildfell Hall ready to start her life over. A bold and powerful novel, Anne Brontë’s "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" (1848) is the story of Helen who defies conventions to find her true self. It portrays an aristocratic society steeped in patriarchal values and the marital strife Helen faces as her dissolute husband turns to drink. Fleeing with her son, she settles in the reclusive Elizabethan mansion, Wildfell Hall, to pursue an artist’s career. This novel is told through letters and diary entries and explores the rich inner life of Helen. Its depiction of social norms and the desire to break free from social stagnation has made critics label it as one of the first fully-fledged feminist novels. "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" is Anne Brontë’s second and final novel. It was a great success that caused uproar upon publication and nothing short of a must-read masterpiece for fans of Victorian literature.Anne Brontë (1820-1849) was the youngest of the Brontë sisters and only wrote two novels during her short but influential career. Unlike the romantic aspirations of her older and more famous sisters, Charlotte and Emily, Anne instead infused her writing with irony and sarcasm and was regarded as the more radical of the sisters. She wrote about women’s need to maintain independence, doing so under the guise of a male pen name, Acton Bell. Her two novels "Agnes Grey" (1846) and "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" (1848) challenged social and legal structures in Victorian Britain before she died from complications from tuberculosis at the age of 29.

Anne Brontë¿s second novel The Tenant of Wildfell Hall centers the arrival of the mysterious Helen Graham and her young son at the old mansion.

Helen¿s secretive nature is a point of contention with neighbors, leading to constant speculation. When targeted by a vulgar rumor, she¿s forced to reveal the truth about her peculiar behavior and dark past. In The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Helen¿s focus and resilience is undeterred by tradition or social conventions. Brontë gives unprecedented agency to a female protagonist living in the Victorian era. Her story is a testament to the human spirit and the art of self-preservation.With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is both modern and readable.

Agnes Grey was one of a trio of novels that defined the'governess novel' in 1847 and 1848. Alongside Jane Eyre and Vanity Fair, Agnes Grey may be the most radical of the three. This Broadview Edition provides extensive historical documents on the novel's reception.

I had been seasoned by adversity, and tutored by experience, and I longed to redeem my lost honour in the eyes of those whose opinion was more than that of all the world to me.Agnes Grey is forced to become a governess due to her family's circumstances, but struggles with the reality of disobedient children, disdainful employers and an isolated existence. Written from Anne's experience, this is a truly personal and moving coming-of-age story.

Anne Bronte's first novel, first published in 1847, "Agnes Grey" tells the story of its title character, a young girl who works as a governess for families of the English gentry. Bronte based this novel on her own experiences as a governess and depicts the loneliness, isolation, and vulnerability of the position. The novel begins with the Grey family falling on hard financial times and a young Agnes taking a job as a governess to both help her family and show her maturity and independence. She begins work with the wealthy Bloomfield family and is shocked to find them cruel, shallow, and unfair. The position does not last long and soon she is back home with her own family and planning to try again. She finds a place in the Murray household, which is even wealthier than her previous employer. While her situation has improved, she is still marginalized and lonely. In the end, Agnes finds happiness and fulfillment on her own terms. "Agnes Grey" is a stern rebuke of the shallowness of the upper class of Bronte's time and a beautifully written account of the challenges faced by young women born without many opportunities. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
