Jane Eyre (Penguin Clothbound Classics)

Read this novel when I was a teenager c. 1965 and loved it. Haven't re-read it in 60 years, until now. (In another format, although this one looks excellent.) C S Lewis said something to the effect that returning to a favorite book is like returning to an old friend. This book, written by one of the marvelous Bronte sisters, is one of my favorites of all time and is just delightful. I have always loved the depiction of the mind of Jane Eyre as she has her experiences of life.

This is a beautiful version of the classic by Charlotte Bronte. Yes, it's a long read; there wasn't much to do for fun in the UK in 1825. It is a story of dealing with obstacles, finding independence, and not being formed by customs. It was a Christmas gift for our grand-daughter (14) and her grandmother's favorite story. No review has yet been provided by the reader.

Gift for the wife and she was very pleased with it.

If you have read your copy to ragged shreds, this is a lovely hardcover replacement, with a binding design worthy of a great book. Decent paper, print of a reasonable size; bonus points for the ribbon bookmark. No scholarly apparatus, but let’s be honest, we’ll be reading it for fun & this edition should last the rest of your life. Well worth the price!

Hardcover copy of Jane Eyre. I loved reading Jane Eyre! This book talks about family abuse, rigid gender roles, mental health, women's rights, and more. Jane Eyre is the heroine in the book and I love her voice! There's a scene where she gives a sassy but smart answer to a rigid, vain man who questions her morals when she's a young girl.

I love books. I love classics. Jane Eyre is a favorite and to have it bound beautifully is a delight. I have to echo many of the reviews I've read below. Why did you put an ugly price tag on the back? When it's removed, it leaves an ugly mark and removes some of the color on the beautiful fabric. It's just ridiculous that after all of the reviews, you can't affix the tag inside or leave it off entirely! I would love to give this book and the other fabric bound classics as a gift and would many times over, but it looks like I bought it damaged. This is an easy fix. Please consider changing this!

I love this book its cloth cover feels nice and is so pretty. the book brings foot notes that explain the text further and allows further background on what's being said. it also has a thread for a bookmark put into it. beautiful book I love it and its very sturdy.

Wonderful book! Love the hard cover.
