Villette (Penguin Classics)

"I am only just returned to a sense of real wonder about me, for I have been readingÂ Villette..."Â â€”George Eliot

With neither friends nor family, Lucy Snowe sets sail from England to find employment in a girlsâ€™ boarding school in the small town of Villette. There she struggles to retain her self-possession in the face of unruly pupils, an initially suspicious headmaster, and her own complex feelings, first for the schoolâ€™s English doctor and then for the dictatorial professor, Paul Emmanuel. Charlotte BrontÃ«â€™s last and most autobiographical novel is a powerfully moving study of isolation and the pain of unrequited love, narrated by a heroine determined to preserve an independent spirit in the face of adverse circumstances.

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700Â titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust theÂ series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-dateÂ translations by award-winning translators.
