Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontes only novel. It was first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and a posthumous second edition was edited by her sister Charlotte. The name of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors on which the story centres (as an adjective, wuthering is a Yorkshire word referring to turbulent weather). The narrative tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them.

Anne Brontes The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a powerful and controversial novel that shines a light on the issues of alcoholism, womens rights, and the oppressive nature of marriage in Victorian society. The book is written in a unique epistolary format, providing readers with a firsthand account of the protagonists experiences. Brontes vivid descriptions and engaging narrative style make this novel a compelling read that continues to resonate with readers today. The literary context of the novel places it alongside other works of Victorian literature that challenged societal norms and conventions. With its complex characters and thought-provoking themes, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall remains a timeless classic in the world of English literature. Anne Bronte, the youngest Bronte sister, drew upon her own observations and experiences to create this groundbreaking novel. As a governess, Anne had firsthand knowledge of the struggles faced by women of her time, which is reflected in the novels depiction of the protagonists fight for independence and self-determination. Annes bold and courageous storytelling sets her apart as a writer unafraid to address difficult and controversial topics. I highly recommend The Tenant of Wildfell Hall to readers who enjoy thought-provoking literature that delves into complex social issues. Anne Brontes masterful storytelling and insightful exploration of gender dynamics make this novel a must-read for anyone interested in Victorian literature or feminist literature.

Atef Abu Saif Gazan jaio zen, baina 2019an, Palestinako Aginte Nazionalak Kultura ministro izendatu zuenean, Zisjordaniara aldatu zen. 2023ko urriaren 7an, baina, atzera berriz Gazan zegoen. Bere karguarekin lotutako hainbat konpromiso zituen, eta pentsatu zuen konpromiso haiek eta senideak bisitatzea uztargarriak izan zitezkeela. Horregatik berekin eraman zuen Yasser, hamabost urteko semea. Egun hartan, infernuko ateak parez pare ireki ziren Gazan. Israelgo armadaren inbasioaren lehenengo momentutik kale gorrian, aita-semeak hara eta hona ibili behar izan zuten iheska, gainerako gazatarrek bezala, aterpe bila baino gehiago Gazan aterperik ez dago-eta herioari iskin egiten. Horrela, 85 egun, harik eta handik nola edo hala atera ahal izan zuten arte. Egun haietan, ikusitakoari eta oroz gain bizitakoari buruzko kronikak idatzi eta Gazatik mundura bidali zituen Abu Saifek, ahal bezala, adibidez, sakelakoaren mezu laburren bitartez. Gertatuaren lekukotasun aparta ematen duten kronika horiek, biltuta, GAZAKO EGUNEROKOA osatzen dute. Gazakoa sarraski telebisatua da, bai, baina lan honek berriz ere agerian uzten du ez dela guztiz egia irudi batek hamaika hitzek baino gehiago balio duenik.
