Jane Eyre:
An Autobiography
発行者による作品情報
Why did Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre shock the Victorian world? What was it like to read the latest Charles Dickens work as a serial, doled out in increments over several months? Why was Ray Bradbury inspired to write Fahrenheit 451?
Don't read a classic novel with knowing only half the story. Enhanced Classics tells the whole story.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Whether one treasures this classic piece of literature as an old companion or has no acquaintance with it at all, the listener is in for a treat. Reader Bentinck draws us at once into the trials assailing the orphaned and ill-treated 10-year-old Jane. Bentinck's soft voice, flawless rhythms, and cultured British accent are exactly what's needed to guide listeners through this heroine's wild history of tribulations and jubilations. She portrays men, women, and children of different classes quite convincingly, and illuminates a wide range of nuanced emotions as Jane encounters hunger and cruelty as well as tender friendships at school, then a world of anger, fear, defeat, humor, sarcasm, affection, and exaltation as teacher and governess. The remarkable plot, the carefully delineated characters, and Bentinck's acting facility make the journey an intriguing and memorable experience.
