‘Tonight Book’ starts this April 23, the date on which Book day is celebrated, with a delivery dedicated to ‘Jane Eyre’. Aided by Alana S. goalkeeper, María Barrier and Carmen Increases, Javier Ambrossi analyzes and contextualizes the work, revealing the connection she felt with the protagonist of the novel: “Something very similar to what happens to Jane happened to me. After the episode of the red room, in which the aunt put her again despite the fact that she is suffering a lot, Jane comes out and they try to treat me well. There was a time when a boy gave me a pizon in the middle of a football field and, after that day, I did not be the same. I felt that something had broken. However, it was the beginning of my life. I realized that I had nothing, I have broken my glass bell and for that slide I started to see the light. I went out there and thought: I have to write, I have to be myself … total, I am not going to like anyone equally. “
Ambrossi also reveals that Charlotte Brontë’s book was one of his great inspirations when creating ‘The Messiah’: “‘Jane Eyre’ came to my life by chance in a reading of adolescence without greater importance, but during the creative process of ‘The Messiah’ a phrase of the novel that had always been in my brain came to mind: ‘What do I dare? We began to create the character of Irene and to convert ‘the Messiah’ into the trip that finally was. “
Actress Clara Galle is the first guest of the program. Throughout the episode, the protagonist of ‘Neither one more’ and ‘Through your gaze’ analyze how the work addresses concepts such as jealousy, revenge and love: “I believe that the question of the novel is how far you are able to get for love and how many of your ideals you are able to trample to love someone.”
