Synopsis "Agnes Grey (in Spanish)"

Decidida a lograr su independencia económica y a ayudar en su casa, Agnes Grey, la hija menor de una familia venida a pique, se coloca como institutriz en la casa de la familia Bloomfield. Su juventud e inexperiencia, así como la crueldad de los niños con quienes le toca lidiar y la frialdad de sus padres, son una difícil piedra de toque. Pero su perseverancia la llevará a cambiar de casa en busca de mejores perspectivas. Con sus nuevos empleadores, los Murray, las condiciones tampoco son fáciles, pero Agnes, poco a poco, se abrirá camino...

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.
