No family history in the literary world takes such a special place in the Bronte family. Emily Brontë wrote Wuthering Heights (Wuthering Heights) - an eccentric but unparalleled masterpiece in which hatred, jealousy and destructive passion predominate and is one of the most moving love stories of all time. Her ideas about life, death, imagination, freedom and divine power have a draft, similar to that of Shakespeare. Charlotte wrote Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and often made into films and tvserie. Charlotte was torn between her strong sense of morality and her strong sexual feelings. The younger sister Anne wrote Agnes Grey, was pious and modest, and their only brother, Branwell passionate, rebellious and a braggart, an initially promising writer and artist he tenonder to drink and opium. Their life was short but was immortalized by their fame. About these lives and their work is impressive, the Bronte Sisters.
