Perhaps one of the most well-known books in the world, Jane Eyre follows the life of its eponymous orphaned protagonist. From her early life Jane is strong-willed, passionate and kind but comes up against a lot of struggles. She lives with her aunt and uncle during early childhood, where she suffers under her aunt's strict discipline before transferring to Lowood Institution. The story follows her life - through heartbreaks and joys, exploring women's rights, social criticism, madness and morality. Charlotte Brontë created a powerful and emotionally evocative novel that has lost none of its power since its publication over 150 years ago.

About the Author
Charlotte Brontë (1816-55) was an English novelist and poet, and the eldest of the world-famous Brontë sisters whose novels are considered classics in nineteenth century fiction. Their works still intrigue fans today, more than 150 years after they were first published. Charlotte left school at age 14 to tutor her sisters, Emily and Anne, and the sisters later turned to writing when they were unsuccessful in opening a school. Charlotte's first novel The Professor (1857) was at first rejected, but her second novel Jane Eyre was published in 1847 to great success. By 1848 the sisters had renounced their pseudonyms and became celebrated in literary circles for their gripping novels.
