Jane Eyre es una niña huérfana que se ha educado en un orfanato, su inteligencia y su afán por aprender consiguen apartarla del mundo de su infancia. Al llegar a los dieciocho años abandona la institución y comienza a trabajar como institutriz, para educar a la hija del señor Rochester. Poco a poco, el amor irá tejiendo su red entre ellos, pero la casa y la vida de Rochester guardan un estremecedor y terrible misterio.

Published in 1853, Villette was Charlotte Brontë's last novel and is often regarded as her most emotionally and aesthetically satisfying work. As in Jane Eyre, the theme is one of passionate personal integrity, the struggle of an individual to preserve an independent spirit in the face of adverse circumstances. Like Jane Eyre and The Professor, it is deeply autobiographical. It is only in Villette, however, that Charlotte Brontë found a narrator such as Lucy Snowe who could explore in a sufficiently complex way the tensions and alterations in her own inner and outer experience. The result is one of the greatest fictional studies in our literature, not of self and society, but of self without society; and of a character who expresses more than any other woman in English fiction the anguish of unrequited love.

Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead, subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre none the less emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. How she takes up the post of governess at Thornfield Hall, meets and loves Mr Rochester and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage are elements in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman's passionate search for a wider and richer life than that traditionally accorded to her sex in Victorian society. In his introduction to this new Penguin Classics edition Michael Mason discusses the literary critical history of Jane Eyre and provides fresh insights into Charlotte Bronte's great novel.

A rollicking adventure from the Brontes imagined kingdom of Verdopolis, The Secretis a tale of intrigue, lies, duplicity, and all-conquering love. It is accompanied by five other associated pieces, making up a unique volume from the best of Brontes juvenilia.

En una ficticia Inglaterra, en el año 1770, doce jóvenes aventureros arribaron a las costas de una imaginaria África. Después de numerosas batallas con los indígenas ashantee, fundaron Verdópolis, la Ciudad de Cristal, una utopica ciudad-estado gobernada por una nobleza parlamentaria que decide los designios de sus habitantes. El huerfano forma parte de la extensa produccion literaria de juventud de Charlotte Bronte (1816-1849), y, escrita cuando tenia 17 años, nos descubre a una autora desconocida, imaginativa, vital y aventurera, con la fuerza que da la pasion adolescente. El mundo de Verdopolis esta repleto de fantasia, aventuras, batallas y lances amorosos. Las heroinas, como lady Ellrington, desafian a los hombres valientes y aventureros que sustentan el dominio y el poder, para mantenerse fieles consigo mismas. El huerfano es tambien una historia de Las mil y una noches, de piratas y nobles personajes que se inspiran en el poeta y seductor Lord Byron, un folletin historico como los de Walter Scott, y cuyas damas recuerdan a las del laureado William Shakespeare. Imagica, en su coleccion El pais de las damas, va a publicar por primera vez en España todas las narraciones extensas de Charlotte Bronte de su saga de Verdopolis.

In 1834, Charlotte Bronte and her brother Branwell created the imaginary kingdom of Angria in a series of tiny handmade books. Continuing their saga some years later, the five novelettes'' in this volume were written by Charlotte when she was in her early twenties, and depict a aristocratic beau monde in witty, racy and ironic language. She creates an exotic, scandalous atmosphere of intrigue and destructive passions, with a cast ranging from the ageing rake Northangerland and his Byronic son-in-law Zamorna, King of Angria, to Mary Percy, Zamorna''s lovesick wife, and Charles Townshend, the cynical, gossipy narrator. Together the tales provide a fascinating glimpse into the mind and creative processes of the young writer who was to become one of the world''s great novelists.

Struggling manufacturer Robert Moore has introduced labour saving machinery to his Yorkshire mill, arousing a ferment of unemployment and discontent among his workers. Robert considers marriage to the wealthy and independent Shirley Keeldar to solve his financial woes, yet his heart lies with his cousin Caroline, who, bored and desperate, lives as a dependent in her uncle''s home with no prospect of a career. Shirley, meanwhile, is in love with Robert''s brother, an impoverished tutor - a match opposed by her family. As industrial unrest builds to a potentially fatal pitch, can the four be reconciled? Set during the Napoleonic wars at a time of national economic struggles, Shirley (1849) is an unsentimental, yet passionate depiction of conflict between classes, sexes and generations.
