 BBC News explains how Bradford pupils have chosen names for the new gritter wagons:
Pupils at Co-Op Academy Southfield, the school representing Bradford South, the name chosen was Wuthering Ice.
A nod to the area's cultural heritage, as it references Emily Brontë's classic novel Wuthering Heights, which is set on the Haworth moors. (Rachel Russell)
The Hindu explores the life achievements of Jagadish Chandra Bose:
My sceptical self has tended to dismiss the feeling as sentimental, imbibed from the Romantic poetry of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Emily Brontë. At the same time, as a Bengali, I was familiar from school textbooks with the works of scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose (1858-1937), who, in the early 20th century, had created a stir by suggesting that plants have a nervous system and are, therefore, as alive as we are. (Anusua Mukherjee)
The Express Tribune talks about the discovery of Dostoievksy's short story Белые ночи (White Nights) for the new generations:
The genre finds its roots in literary classics, with Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights serving as an early blueprint. Heathcliff and Catherine's tempestuous relationship set the stage for the emotionally fraught dynamics that define dark romance. But while Brontë's gothic masterpiece hinted at destructive love, modern iterations dive headfirst into the psychological labyrinth of such relationships.
Even if contemporary works like CJ Roberts' The Dark Duet series and Sarah J Maas' A Court of Thorns and Roses take generous detours from Brontë, Gen Z is always ready to absorb a certain type of classic. (Manahil Tahira)

Su protagonista es Charlotte, una joven que llega a la imponente propiedad de Chalk Hill desde Berlín para comenzar una nueva vida después de ser víctima de un escándalo. Su objetivo es cuidar de la niña de la casa en un ambiente complicado que está relacionado con la muerte de la madre de la pequeña. Con la ayuda de un periodista, la nueva institutriz iniciará una fascinante investigación que te mantendrá sin soltar el libro hasta el final. Los lectores destacan esta novela por lo bien escrita que está, su adictiva trama y recreación de una atmósfera que también recuerda a 'Jane Eyre'. (Marieta Taibo) (Translation)
