Maria Nastasia a dat nota:

How often do we find an author who can make your heart bleed with tenderness and compassion for a character while only a few chapters later, your greatest desire is to thrash said character in the throes of anger. And the remarkable thing is that while you are wanting to hurt him in some measure to convey your dislike for his dastardly deeds, still inside and trying to lure its way to the forefront of your emotion is the initial tenderness and compassion. Does that make any sense at all? Wuthering Heights is a tale of despair, revenge and of love. It is a Gothic novel. Knowing this going in, I still had forgotten the extent of the darkness and how much despair fill its pages. It follows the life of orphaned Heathcliff and his adoptive family (the Earnshaws) and his revenge against the two families (the Earnshaws/Lintons) who have wronged him and his love/hate relationship with Catherine Earnshaw. And make no mistake that these two do love each other and often, hatred and anger is temporarily their emotion of choice.

Recenzii

Harman's sane, unshowy re-telling is exactly right for the bicentenary nextApril.The result is a retooled classic biographical narrative, shipshape and serviceable for the next 200 years
Finely judged and authoritative
Elegantly written, consistently perceptive...[Harman] succeeds in bringing Charlotte back to life in all her spiky vulnerability
This is a comprehensive biography to enjoy and admire. Harman writes well and she is a fine and sensitive critic
Harman... portrays Bronte's complexity and dark genius inelegant prose with deep human sympathy
Superb retelling of Charlotte's story (...) admirably concise
Harman tells [Charlotte's] story withquick wit, a sharp sympathy, and a fire and fury of her own
Full of pleasing and piquant detail,scraps of passing recollection assembled from the various lives and letters in which the Brontes featured and from which we might reconstruct their world
Elegant, sensitive, beautifully paced and moving. [Claire Harman] has... produced a work that is affirmative, edifying, inspiring and humane
Revelatory (...) adds freshness and texture to her account with original speculations.As someone who once wrote a book about the Brontës' afterlives, few people can have read as many biographies of them as I have.I thought I was Brontë-ed out, but reading this book-which will be equally accessible to someone coming to Charlotte for the first time-has drawn me back in
Three rounds of applause...for Claire Harman's superb retelling of Charlotte's story
[An] excellent new bicentennial biography....Ms. Harman writes with warmth and a fine understanding of Ms. Brontë's literary significance. Above all, she is a storyteller, with a sense of pace and timing, relish for a good scene and a wry sense of humour
A vigorous new biography (...) Harman does a splendid job
An immensely readable biography
A substantial biography (...) that lets the disparate pieces speak for themselves
Harman renders her daring novels fresh, interweaving what shocked critics then with what surprises us still
Prepare to suffer similar time-loss at the hands of Harman, Brontë's most recent biographer and a master storyteller in her own right. Level-headed, highly readable and always intelligent, Harman's account of Brontë's life and work isa delight from start to finish
A subtle, measured biography, full of insight into Bronte's fiery intellect as well as the tragic intensity of her experience
Harman brings a fresh eye to many of the same papers studied by Gaskell to compile herCharlotte Brontë: A Life.The Gothic atmosphere and heart-breaking details remain, butHarman achieves a great feat by making the story seem new again
