Beschreibung zu „Tales of the Islanders (The Complete 4 Volumes)“

This carefully crafted ebook: "Tales of the Islanders" contains the complete 4 volumes of tales in one collection and is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The four volumes of tales collected here make delightful reading, while offering a unique insight into Brontë family life and Charlotte's development as a writer: these are the stories she and her siblings imagined for their magic island kingdom. The stories are charmingly written in a very fairytale-esque style. They are written by a child and therefore are sometimes hard to follow when the stories make big turns, which force the reader to read them slowly and devour each sentence. Charlotte Brontë (1816 – 1855), English writer noted for her novel Jane Eyre (1847) and sister of Anne Brontë and Emily Brontë. The three sisters are almost as famous for their short, tragic lives as for their novels. In their works they described love more truthfully that was common in Victorian age England. In the past 40 years Charlotte Brontë's reputation has risen rapidly, and feminist criticism has done much to show that she was speaking up for oppressed women of every age.

Über Charlotte Brontë

Charlotte Brontë nació en 1816 en Thornton (Yorkshire). En 1824, junto con sus hermanas Emily, Elizabeth y Maria, acudió a una escuela para hijos de clérigos; Elizabeth y Maria murieron ese mismo año. 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. Como Currer Bell, publicó con éxito Jane Eyre. Otras obras suyas son Shirley y Villette. Charlotte se casó con el reverendo A.B. Nicholls un año antes de morir en 1855.
