El esplendor de la señorita Jean Brodie

El esplendor de la señorita Jean Brodie

Spark, Muriel

In Edinburgh in the 1930s, the Marcia Blane Girls' School is the institution called upon to educate the elites of tomorrow. Among the faculty, the peculiar Jean Brodie stands out: a sophisticated woman, with conservative ideas and overwhelming charm. An indisputable influence for six of her students, whom everyone calls "Brodie's little group": impressionable girls who meet their teacher in the gardens to talk about painting, fascism, seduction and the love affairs of the great authors of the century. XIX. Miss Brodie takes them under her wing and teaches them everything she thinks will make them virtuous women. She tells them about her own life, her triumphs, the hopes she places on them. She teaches them to live, but her way. Anyone would say that there is no group in the Marcia Blane school more united than Brodie's. The friendship forged between them seems indestructible. But, if they will learn anything in those clandestine meetings in the shade of an elm tree, it is that the greater the friendship, the greater the wound of betrayal.
