Jane Eyre

by Harold Bloom (Editor)

Orphaned as a child, Jane has felt an outcast her whole young life. Her courage is tested once again when she arrives at Thornfield Hall, where she has been hired by the brooding, proud Edward Rochester to care for his ward Adèle. Jane finds herself drawn to his troubled yet kind spirit. She falls in love. Hard.

But there is a terrifying secret inside the gloomy, forbidding Thornfield Hall. Is Rochester hiding from Jane? Will Jane be left heartbroken and exiled once again?

About the author

Harold Bloom was an American literary critic and the Sterling Professor of Humanities at Yale University. In 2017, Bloom was called "probably the most famous literary critic in the English-speaking world." After publishing his first book in 1959, Bloom wrote more than 50 books, including over 40 books of literary criticism, several books discussing religion, and one novel. He edited hundreds of anthologies concerning numerous literary and philosophical figures for the Chelsea House publishing firm. Bloom's books have been translated into more than 40 languages. He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1995.
Bloom was a defender of the traditional Western canon at a time when literature departments were focusing on what he derided as the "school of resentment" (multiculturalists, feminists, Marxists, and others). He was educated at Yale University, the University of Cambridge, and Cornell University.

الحب لا يأتي مرتبا....يلبس اجمل ثيابه.يمتطي خيولا مطهمه...
و يسكن القباب العاليه....كأعلام المدن القديمه..وربما مدن الملاهي...
انه يأتي بغتة...لمن كان الابعد والاقرب...في آن واحد
يسمعك دون ان تتكلم....يصفك دون ان يراك..يحبك بكل آثامك واخطاءك...
تراه مزروعا في الطرقات ..حواف الانهار..ستائر الغرف...في الذهول وانت تكتب اسما دون وعي....
وحين يغيب...تغيب حقيقة واحده ..هي الحب...
