From A to Z, the Penguin Drop Caps series collects 26 unique hardcovers—featuring cover art by type superstar Jessica Hische

It all begins with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a new series of twenty-six collectible and gift-worthy hardcover editions, each with a type cover showcasing a gorgeously illustrated letter of the alphabet by superstar type designer Jessica Hische, whose work has appeared everywhere from Tiffany & Co. to Wes Anderson's film Moonrise Kingdom to Penguin's own bestsellers Committed and Rules of Civility. A collaboration between Jessica Hische and Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley,  the series design encompasses foil-stamped paper-over-board cases in a rainbow-hued spectrum across all twenty-six book spines and a decorative stain on all three paper edges. Penguin Drop Caps debuts with an “A” for Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, a “B” for Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, and a “C” for Willa Cather’s My Ántonia, and continues with more classics from Penguin.

B is for Brontë. A novel of intense power and intrigue, Jane Eyre dazzles and shocks readers with its passionate depiction of a woman's search for equality and freedom. Orphaned Jane Eyre grows up in the home of her heartless aunt, where she endures loneliness and cruelty, and at a charity school with a harsh regime. This troubled childhood strengthens Jane's natural independence and spirit—which proves necessary when she takes a position as governess at Thornfield Hall. But when she finds love with her sardonic employer, Rochester, the discovery of his terrible secret forces her to make a choice. Should she stay with him and live with the consequences, or follow her convictions, even if it means leaving the man she loves?

My rating

 
Sebenarnya saya ingin kasi 5 bintang. Ceritanya bagus. Sungguh. Tentang Jane Eyre yang malang. Yatim piatu. Hidup sangat lama dalam sengsara dan derita *eceile*
Juga tentang kisah cinta yang rumit antara Jane Eyre dan Mr. Rochester.

Tapi kenapa saya hanya memberi 4 bintang? Itu karena kendala bahasa. Mungkin saya harus cari versi terjemahannya dulu dan membacanya lagi, sehingga saya bisa masuk kedalam dunia Eyre ini. Semoga ^^


And by the way, I love this quote

"I had not intended to love him; the
reader knows I had wrought hard to extirpate from my soul
the germs of love there detected; and now, at the first renewed
view of him, they spontaneously arrived, green and
strong! He made me love him without looking at me." _Jane Eyre
