First of all, we would like to wish a happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate the day. We hope it's a nice one in spite of it all. The Daily Express has selected some quotes to use today and one of them is by Charlotte Brontë:
Charlotte Brontë: “For my part, I am almost contented just now, and very thankful. Gratitude is a divine emotion: it fills the heart, but not to bursting; it warms it, but not to fever.” (Liam Doyle)
The quote is taken from Shirley, chapter XXVIII.

La Vanguardia (Spain) recommends Charlotte Brontë's The Professor for National Teachers' Day.
"El Profesor" (Charlotte Brontë, 1857)
Charlotte Brontë ha pasado a la historia de la literatura con el clásico "Jane Eyre", pero poco se conoce de "El profesor", novela póstuma de la escritora británica que narra en primera persona las desventuras de William Crimsworth, un tipo huraño que huye a Bélgica para ejercer la labor de profesor en un internado para señoritas.
Un profesor que, fruto posiblemente del contexto histórico en el que fue escrito, refleja un tipo de docente estricto, poco cercano con sus alumnas, de un carácter complejo con el que el lector difícilmente logra empatizar. (Laura Tabuyo) (Translation)
