The worst blunder we have ever had

Grand Valley Lanthorn recommends 'books for this winter season':

Winter. Name a better season to stay inside by the fire and cuddle up with a good book… you can’t, I know. Now, for some people, it may be difficult to know what kinds of books to start with or what may be the best.

If you’re looking to jump into some classics for the winter, then “Crime and Punishment” is good. If you’re looking for some more romantic classics then “Pride and Prejudice,” “Tess D’Ubervilles,” “Dracula,” and “Wuthering Heights.” It all just depends on what you are looking for, and there are so many different genres you could dive into.

Times Now News highlights '10 First Lines that Set the Stage for Love in Romance Novels'. One of them is from

Wuthering Heights

"I have just returned from a visit to my landlord—the solitary neighbour that I shall be troubled with."

Emily Brontë's 'Wuthering Heights' kicks off with a line that sets a hauntingly atmospheric tone. The novel unfolds the tumultuous love story between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw against the windswept moors of Yorkshire. Brontë immerses readers in a tale of passion, revenge, and the enduring nature of love that transcends the boundaries of life and death. (Girish Shukla)

Well, technically Wuthering Heights actually begins with '1801'.

Waikato Herald (New Zealand) reviews the film Sharper.

A wonderfully evocative jazz and blues soundtrack brings in love and heartbreak, and yes, real feelings exist in the film, but it’s really about deception; a theme that’s illustrated by quick relevant references to Jane Eyre, whose beloved Mr Rochester has to hide his love for Jane, to the Tell-Tale Heart whose criminal narrator tries to con readers into believing in his innocence and to Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina whose betrayal of her husband causes scandal and disaster. (Jen Shieff)

And now for one of the worst blunders we have ever had (and we have seen some pretty terrible things), if not actually The Worst. Infobae (in Spanish) picks up the story (mostly from The Guardian) of the Brontë birthplace having been saved and turns it into how the house where the Brontës were born, lived, and wrote has now been saved, illustrating it with pictures of the Brontë Parsonage Museum all throughout. The house is in Bradford, Haworth, and Thornton all at the same time, too. It was even renamed Charlotte's Way (facepalm).

El hogar donde nacieron y escribieron sus obras las escritoras Charlotte, Emily y Anne fue recuperado gracis a una iniciativa de crowdfunding

La casa que las escritoras Charlotte, Anne y Emily Brontë compartían con su padre, el ministro de la iglesia Patrick, y su hermano, un chalet de ladrillo oscuro ubicado en la localidad inglesa de Bradford que recibe alrededor de un millón de visitantes al año, fue comprada gracias a una iniciativa de financiamiento colectivo que permitirá ponerla en valor para funcionar como un centro cultural y educativo.

La residencia que se acaba de recuperar como bien cultural gracias a una iniciativa de crowdfunding fue territorio de una de las leyendas más vistosas de la literatura: tres hermanas rozando la treintena se recluyen en una casa huyendo de las rígidas ataduras de la Inglaterra victoriana para convertir su imaginación y vivencias en obras maestras como Jane Eyre o Cumbres borrascosas.

En lo más alto del pueblo de Haworth, al norte de Inglaterra, se levanta esta casa de ladrillo oscuro con dos hileras de ventanas blancas, una vivienda firme y sobria construida a finales del siglo XVIII para ser el hogar de los pastores anglicanos del lugar. Entre 1820 y 1855, en ese edificio discreto vivieron y crearon sus obras Charlotte, Emily y Anne.

Las tres hermanas nacieron en la casa Thornton (Bradford), que ahora ha sido comprada después de que activistas recaudaran 300.000 libras (unos 368.000 dólares) de donaciones y subvenciones, incluida una importante del fondo Bradford City of Culture 2025. Sin embargo, todavía se necesitan otras 300.000 libras adicionales para renovar el edificio.

La propiedad estaba siendo utilizada actualmente como hotel bajo el nombre de Charlotte’s Way tras cambiar de propietario varias veces. (Translation)
