Synopsis "Agnes Grey"

Con el objetivo de contribuir a la menguada economía familiar y lograr la independencia económica, la protagonista de este relato decide trabajar como institutriz para la familia Bloomfield. Agnes Grey, novela de marcado carácter autobiográfico, nos acerca a la severa realidad de las institutrices victorianas. «Qué delicioso que sería convertirme en institutriz, salir al mundo, empezar una nueva vida, tomar mis propias decisiones, desarrollar las facultades que tenía sin usar, probar las capacidades que tengo y que no conozco, ganarme mi propio salario. No importaba lo que dijeran los demás, yo me veía perfectamente capacitada para la tarea».

Anne Brönte was the youngest of the Brontë sisters. Like her sisters Emily and Charlotte, she has gone down in literary history despite her short life and with only two novels written, which she published under the pseudonym Acton Bell. As a teenager, along with her sister Emily, she created the imaginary kingdom of Gondal, about which they both wrote stories and poems. At 19, she started working as a governess, but soon felt frustrated by her inability to properly educate what she saw as an unruly and spoiled youth. This experience helped shape her first novel, "Agnes Grey". The warm reception of this work allowed the appearance of her second and last novel, "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall", the following year. It tells the story of the arrival of a woman, seemingly a widow, and her young son to an old mansion, an event that triggers all kinds of reactions in the neighborhood. This novel was deemed immoral by her contemporaries due to the harshness of certain passages. Finally, Anne died of tuberculosis at the young age of 29.

Es un libro clásico estupendo, la edición es excelente en cuanto a papel y tamaño de letra. Totalmente recomendado para los amantes de las novelas del siglo XIX pero que son muy contemporáneas en cuanto a sus temáticas.

Pongo 4 estrellas puesto que aún no abro el libro. Pasta blanda, me han dicho que es la edición más completa de la obra (que es buenísima como todos los trabajos de las hermanas Brontë).

Está súper bien el libro, lo único “malo” es que el color es bastante más saturado del que aparece en imagen.
