Gems of literature in a luxurious and unique design by Marjolein
Bastin.
The Marjolein Bastin Classics Series is a chance to rediscover classic
literature in collectible, luxuriously illustrated volumes. For the
first time ever, the internationally celebrated artwork of Marjolein
Bastin graces the pages of a timeless classic, Jane Eyre, the story of
a penniless orphan who finds love and friendship despite great
adversity*.* Beyond bringing these stories to life, Bastin's series adds
elaborately designed ephemera, such as four-color maps, letters, family
trees, and sheet music. Whether an ideal gift for a Brontë devotee or a
treat for yourself, The Marjolein Bastin Classics Series, as a set or
individually purchased*,* is perfect for anyone who feels a connection
to these enduring literary gems.
Discover anew the dramatic world of Jane Eyre. As a penniless orphan,
Jane Eyre endures a dismal childhood at the hands of her callous aunt,
and her adolescent transition to boarding school provides little relief.
But despite such adversity, she manages to transcend the social
strictures of the nineteenth century, maturing into a confident and
independent woman. Jane experiences true friendship, even love, until
the revelation of a terrible secret casts dark clouds on the lives of
everyone around her.
