Villette draws on her profound loneliness following the deaths of her three siblings. Lucy Snowe, the narrator of this book, flees from an unhappy past in England to begin a new life as a teacher at a French boarding school in the great cosmopolitan capital of Villette. Soon Lucy’s struggle for independence is overshadowed by both her friendship with a worldly English doctor and her feelings for an autocratic schoolmaster. Bronte’s strikingly modern heroine must decide if there is any man in her society with whom she can live and still be free.

The Professor

By: Bronte C.

Charlotte Bronte was an English novelist and poet, the eldest of the three Bronte sisters who survived into adulthood and whose novels have become classics of English literature.

It describes his maturation, his career as a teacher in Brussels, and his personal relationships. William reveals his attraction to the dominating directress of the girls` school where he teaches, played out in the school`s "secret garden.

Cancer Immunotherapy

Chapter 34. Arginase, Nitric Oxide Synthase, and Novel Inhibitors of L-arginine Metabolism in Immune Modulation

By: Mariacristina Chioda,Ilaria Marigo,Susanna Mandruzzato,Simone Mocellin,Vincenzo Bronte

In higher organisms, the control of amino acid metabolism has been identified as an evolutionarily preserved strategy for limiting the expansion of actively proliferating cells, including antigen-activated T lymphocytes, and tumor cells have surreptitiously adopted it to avoid or restrain attack by the immune system. Tumor growth is often associated with an altered metabolism of the amino acid L-arginine (L-Arg) by the enzymes nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and arginase (ARG). In tumor-recruited myeloid cells or in cancerous cells the consequence of their activities causes L-Arg deprivation or release of NO, which have been shown to have profound effects directly on tumor outgrowth as well as on the regulation of antitumor T-cell-mediated immune responses. Experimental findings indicate that when either one of the two enzymes is active, the net effect on T lymphocytes can be attributed to cell cycle arrest whereas the concomitant activation of both enzymes within the same environment can lead to T-cell death by apoptosis. Moreover, an increasing amount of evidence reveals an intricate system of circuits controlling either pathway or their crosstalk in cancer and in immune cells. This highlights the broad range of cellular processes that might be affected by ARG and NOS activity. In general, immune regulation by L-Arg metabolism is not antigen specific but requires that T cells are activated through their clonotypic T-cell receptor in order to be susceptible to these inhibitory circuits. In this chapter, the main processes of tumor immunity influenced by L-Arg metabolism will be discussed, along with the description of novel compounds that can deactivate these metabolic pathways in tumor-bearing hosts and thus help to restore immune reactivity against cancer.

Call Me Crash

By: Michael Bronte

It’s 1979, Jimmy Carter is president, and Tom “Crash” Crandall is floor manager at Rosenbloom & Starr where the wives of D.C.’s power brokers shop. There’s something terribly wrong with the way the goods are flowing—or to put it a better way, not flowing—into his department. What the heck were those buyers doing up on the seventh floor? Crash has no idea that the problem he’s observing is an offshoot of a heinous hostile takeover attempt, and CEO Gino Starr is not about to let the ruthless raiders take over the department store empire he built from humble beginnings. The takeover villains stop at nothing to accomplish the takeover, including brutal attacks and grisly murders. What Starr doesn’t know is that the takeover attempt is being backed by an international crime syndicate that has infiltrated our own government.

The Brothers

By: Michael Bronte

Y.I.T.B.: It means Yours In The Bonds. It was how they signed their letters and their emails to each other. They were The Brothers of Zeta Chi, and they vowed decades earlier that their pledge meant more than having drinking buddies for life. It was their thirtieth reunion at John Adams College and they’d come in from all over to attend. Harry was there, but his old roommate Hutch never made it, but he had a good reason. Hutch was dead, found locked in his car. Was it suicide, or an accident, or due to natural causes? None of the explanations were satisfactory, and when the authorities refused to investigate due to lack of evidence indicating foul play, the brothers said, “If you won’t investigate, we will.” Who knew it would lead Harry and The Brothers into a showdown involving international terrorists, the police, the CIA, and the Financial Crimes and Enforcement Network inside the U.S. Treasury called FinCEN.

The Belgian Essays

By: Charlotte Bronte,Charlotte Brontë,Emily Brontë,Emily Bronte,Sue Lonoff de Cuevas

Venturing out of Yorkshire for the first time in their lives, the Bronte sisters Charlotte and Emily traveled to Brussels in 1842, and Charlotte returned for another visit in 1843. The journeys proved to be pivotal in both their writing careers. Under the tutelage of their brilliant teacher Constantin Heger, the young authors penned the twenty-eight essays (devoirs) collected for the first time in this volume. Each essay, presented in its original French, is accompanied by an English translation and commentary to establish historical and literary context. Where M. Heger made comments, they are reproduced in full. Nine of the essays have never been published before. Sue Lonoff offers a mine of information on the Brontes and their Brussels experience, exploring why the months in Belgium meant so much to the sisters and how their writing exercises affected their developing prose styles.

Shirley and The Professor

Introduction by Rebecca Fraser

By: Charlotte Bronte

These two classic novels, together with Brontë's well-known Jane Eyre and Villette, comprise a magnificent oeuvre, each one a singular achievement of characterization, human understanding, and narrative elegance and drama. Shirley is the story of a complicated friendship between two very different women: shy and socially constrained Caroline, the poor niece of a tyrannical clergyman; and the independent heiress Shirley, who has both the resources and the spirit to defy convention. The romantic entanglements of the two women with a local mill owner and his penniless brother pit the claims of passion against the boundaries of class and society. The Professor—the first novel Brontë completed, the last to be published—is both a disturbing love story and the coming-of-age tale of a self-made man. At its center is William Crimsworth, who has come to Brussels to work as an instructor in a school for girls. When he becomes entangled with Zoräide Reuter, a charismatic and brilliantly intellectual woman, the fervor of her feelings threatens both her own engagement and William's chance of finding true love.

Jane Eyre

Englische Originalausgabe

By: Charlotte Bronte

The early life of Jane Eyre, an orphan, takes her from the loveless home of the Reeds to Lowood, a charity school where she is first pupil and the teacher, before she moves to a position as governess at Thornfield Hall. The master of the house, Edward Fairfax Rochester, is a firm, swarthy and engaging man, and by the time he asks Jane, in his own teasing fashion, to be his wife, she knows she will accept him. But there is an impediment to their marriage, and when it is revealed on their wedding day it sends Jane fleeing into the unknown, and further trials on her redoubtable character. Jane Eyre was an immediate success when it was published in 1847, and the dramatic story, centred upon a young woman of impressive independence and integrity of spirit, has assured it a place as one of the most enduringly popular novels in the language.

Hell Hath No Fury

Women's Letters from the End of the Affair

By: Anna Holmes,Anne Boleyn,Cindy Chupack,Charlotte Bronte

It’s as old as time: the breakup letter. The kiss-off. The Dear John. The big adios. Simple in its premise, stunningly perfect in its effect. From Anne Boleyn to Sex and the City writer/producer Cindy Chupack, from women both well-known and unknown, imaginary and real, the letters here span the centuries and the emotions—providing a stirring, utterly gratifying glimpse at the power, wit, and fury of a woman’s voice. In a never-before-published letter, Anaïs Nin gives her lover, C. L. Baldwin, a piece of her mind. Charlotte Brontë, in formal fashion, refuses the marriage proposal of Henry Nussey. In a previously unpublished letter, Sylvia Plath writes to her childhood friend and brief lover, Phillip McCurdy, expressing her wish to maintain a platonic relationship. And “Susie Q.” lets “Johnny Smack-O” know that she’s onto his philandering. The brilliance of the mad missives, caustic communiqués, downhearted dispatches, sweet send-offs, and every other sort of good-bye that fills these pages will surely resonate with anyone who has ever loved, lost, left, languished, or laughed a hearty last laugh.

The Professor: A Tale

By: Charlotte Bronte

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Professor: A Tale

By: Charlotte Bronte

The Professor: A Tale - Charlotte Bronte - The Professor, A Tale. was the first novel by Charlotte Brontë. It was written before Jane Eyre, but was rejected by many publishing houses. It was eventually published, posthumously, in 1857, with the approval of Charlotte Brontë's widower, Arthur Bell Nicholls, who took on the task of reviewing and editing the text. The novel is the story of a young man, William Crimsworth, and is a first-person narrative from his perspective. It describes his maturation, his career as a teacher in Brussels, and his personal relationships. The story starts with a letter William has sent to his friend Charles, detailing his rejection of his uncle's proposal that he become a clergyman, as well as his first meeting with his rich brother Edward. Seeking work as a tradesman, William is offered the position of a clerk by Edward. However, Edward is jealous of William's education and intelligence, and treats him terribly. Through the actions of the sympathetic Mr Hunsden, William is relieved of his post, but starts a new job at a boys' boarding school in Belgium. The school is run by the friendly Monsieur Pelet, who treats William kindly and politely. Soon William's merits as a "professor" reach the ears of the headmistress of the neighbouring girls' school. Mademoiselle Reuter offers him a position at her school, which he accepts. Initially captivated by her, William begins to entertain ideas of falling in love with her, but then he overhears her and Monsieur Pelet talking about their upcoming marriage and their deceitful treatment of him. William begins to treat Mademoiselle Reuter with cold civility as he sees her underlying nature. She, however, continues to try to draw him back in by pretending to be benevolent and concerned. She asks him to teach one of her young teachers, Frances, who hopes to improve her skill in languages. William sees promising intelligence in this pupil and slowly begins to fall in love with her. Jealous of the attention Frances is receiving from William, Mademoiselle Reuter takes it upon herself to dismiss Frances from her post and to hide her address from William. After a long search he re-encounters Frances in a graveyard and they renew their acquaintance.

Jane Eyre (Movie Tie-in Edition)

By: Charlotte Bronte

Charlotte Brontë’s most beloved novel describes the passionate love between the courageous orphan Jane Eyre and the brilliant, brooding, and domineering Rochester. The loneliness and cruelty of Jane’s childhood strengthens her natural independence and spirit, which prove invaluable when she takes a position as a governess at Thornfield Hall. But after she falls in love with her sardonic employer, her discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a heart-wrenching choice. Ever since its publication in 1847, Jane Eyre has enthralled every kind of reader, from the most critical and cultivated to the youngest and most unabashedly romantic. It lives as one of the great triumphs of storytelling and as a moving and unforgettable portrayal of a woman's quest for self-respect.

《呼嘯山庄(鯨歌英文原版)》是英國女作家勃朗特姐妹之一艾米莉·勃朗特的作品，是19世紀英國文學的代表作之一。小說描寫吉卜賽棄兒希斯利夫被山庄老主人收養后，因受辱和戀愛不遂，外出致富。回來后對與其女友凱瑟琳結婚的地主林頓及其子女進行報復的故事。全篇充滿強烈的反壓迫、爭幸福的斗爭精神，又始終籠罩着離奇、緊張的浪漫氣氛。此作品多次被改編成電影作品。艾米莉·勃朗特（1818-1848），英國女作家、詩人。英國文學目前有名的「勃朗特三姐妹」之一，安妮·勃朗特之姐、夏洛蒂·勃朗特之妹。這位女作家在世界上僅僅度過了三十年便默默無聞地離開了人間，然而她專享的小說《呼嘯山庄》卻奠定了她在英國文學史以及世界文學目前的地位。艾米莉·勃朗特出生於貧苦的牧師之家，曾在生活條件惡劣的寄宿學校求學，也曾隨姐姐夏洛蒂·勃朗特去比利時的布魯塞爾學習法語、德語和法國文學，准備將來自辦學校，但未能如願。艾米莉性格內向，嫻靜文雅，從童年時代起就酷愛寫詩。艾米莉是兄弟姐妹中性情很孤僻、很沉默寡言的一個，常常一個人在約郡的荒野沼澤漫游。嚴酷的自然環境刺激了艾米莉的想象，促使她虛構了一個又一個具有浪漫色彩的世界。1846年，她們三姐妹曾自費出版過一本詩集。《呼嘯山庄》是艾米莉·勃朗特專享的小說，發表於1847年12月。她們三姐妹的三部小說――夏洛蒂的《簡·愛》、艾米莉的《呼嘯山庄》和她們的小妹妹安妮的《艾格尼斯·格雷》是同一年問世的。特別是《簡愛》和《呼嘯山庄》，猶如一對顆粒不大卻光彩奪目的貓眼寶石，世人在瀏覽19世紀英國文學遺產時，不能不驚異地發現這是稀世珍寶，而其中之一更是如此令人留戀贊嘆。除《呼嘯山庄》外，艾米莉還創作了一百九十三首詩，被認為是英國一位天才女作家。艾米莉曾被譽為19世紀二十二位傑出詩人之一，代表作品有《老禁欲主義者》《紀念品》《囚徒》《晚風》等，英國有名詩人及評論家馬修高度稱贊她是「拜倫之后，無人能與之媲美的」很傑出的詩人。艾米莉的大部分詩篇都是描寫大自然、幻想的貢達爾王國的悲慘事件或自己的親身感受。她常常獨自徘徊在荒野中，體驗大自然中與人靈犀相通的那一瞬。她的詩在內容主旨和藝術手法上都有着創新和超前。這些詩歌集中體現了艾米莉對壓迫和禁錮的叛逆精神，反映了她渴望自由、平等和愛情的理想。這些詩歌語言精練簡潔，節奏韻律自然明快，堪稱「詩作的精英」。但她的小說《呼嘯山庄》掩蓋了她詩歌的光芒。

By: Anne Bronte and Niccolo Machievelli

Agnes Grey is the debut novel of Anne novel of Anee Bronte. Its a victorian novel. The story revolves around the center character, Agnes Grey who works as a governess within the families of the English gen-try. Actually. Anne (the author) had also worked as a governess for almost 5-years. So she has put all her experiences in the novel. How she actually suffered and, in general, how actually it all affected a young woman. She has focussed on empathy in the story, not only with the human beings but also with the animals.How Agnes be unsuccessful as a governess? So this complete story will be unveiled after going through this romantic and empathy based novel. Very interesting and lucidly written. The Prince The Prince is basically a political treatise and a sort of guide for new princes and royals. It was published five years after Niccolos death. When he was alive, there were some controversy in his book. It was published only after seeking per-mission from the Medici pope Clement VII. The Prince is one of the best works of modern political philosophy, in which truth is highlighted rather than any abstract ideas or incidences. The beauty of the text is that it has a recognizable structure and author has indicated himself in most of the portions. The book narrates mostly about prince-doms. That too about hereditary princedoms.

Leadership and the School Principal

By: Dr. Bronte H. Reynolds

Leadership and the School Principal By: Dr. Bronte H. Reynolds Leadership and the School Principal is about the traits and behaviors associated with the role of the school principal. Each chapter leads off with what scholars studying this domain have found throughout their research. During a period in this country’s history when effective leadership is critical, where better to emphasize this message than with individuals in our culture who serve in a most consummate role model for those who one day will become our future leaders. While focusing on school leadership, the characteristics and dispositions presented in this work clearly apply to any institution where individuals come together to pursue a common vision and achieve goals. It is hoped that this work provides the reader with the substance and motivation to self-reflect on his/her role as a leader; to learn and grow personally and professionally from the experience.

Brontes: Selected Poems

By: Charlotte Bronte,Emily Bronte,Anne Bronte

The Bronte sisters lives and works have become modern-day cultural touchstones. Emily Bronte, best known for her novel WUTHERING HEIGHTS, began writing poetry first and, before her untimely death, wrote some of the most touching and emotive poems which often reflected the landscape of her Yorkshire home. Charlotte Bronte, whose novel JANE EYRE has had numerous TV and film adaptations, took responsibility for finding a home for their work. In her own words, ' We had very early cherished the dream of one day becoming authors'. Anne Bronte, author of AGNES GREY, often used autobiographical elements in her poems, giving us a hints of the struggles and turmoil of her life. These poems offer glimpses of the joys and sorrows of the Brontes and are a beautifully compelling introduction to their writing and lives.
