Friday, 14 November 2014. Dark Quartet: The Story of the Brontës by Lynne Reid Banks. She seems extremely well read on the family history, and she has mingled their lives with their fiction and created each of the family members as, at least I, imagined them to be. We tend to look at them as an entity, but they are four rather different characters, and they are here beautifully and lovingly portrayed. The description of the scenery and the people surrounding the siblings, is very well done, and makes it ...

Libros en la hierba. Sábado, 30 de junio de 2012. Jane Eyre - Charlotte Brontë. Las novelas de las hermanas Brontë, como las de Jane Austen, de algún modo pertenecen a la cultura general. Todos hemos oído hablar alguna vez de Sense and Sensivility. O hemos visto sus adaptaciones, o una de ellas, al cine o a la televisión. Jane Eyre. No; I should not like to belong to poor people,” was my reply. “Not even if they were kind to you? 8220;I like to observe all the faces and all the figures.”. 8220;What tale ...

Libros en la hierba: Persuasión - Jane Austen

Libros en la hierba. Domingo, 27 de enero de 2013. Persuasión - Jane Austen.

Nunca me llamaron la atención estas películas al igual que nunca me llamó Jane Austen como autora. Pero la obligación hace que superes cualquier prejuicio y leas con la atención de un escolar. Soon, however, she began to reason with herself, and t...
