O Monte dos Vendavais

Emily Jane Brontë was born on July 30, 1818, in Thornton, Yorkshire, and died in Haworth, victim of tuberculosis, on December 19, 1848, at the age of just 30. The daughter of Patrick Brontë, appointed parish priest for life in Haworth, she was raised with her siblings Charlotte, Anne and Patrick Branwell by her aunt, Elizabeth Branwell. The family constituted a closed and isolated society, and the four brothers have been motivated since childhood to study and to compose literature. They wrote short stories, fantastic stories, poems, newspapers, serials and edited a monthly magazine. Emily Brontë was the author of the Gondal cycle, whose imaginary homeland inspired some of her most rapturous poems.
Emily tried to make a living as a teacher, but poor health forced her to quit. It is through The Mount of the Whirlwinds, his only novel, that it remains in our memory: An exciting story that is and one of the most intense works in the English language.
