Wuthering Heights

A mysterious novel that turns everything on its head – good and evil, love and hate; this is Wuthering Heights, one of the most exceptional novels ever written. Emily Bronte had to publish it using her own money, as well... as a masculine pseudonym. While some critics praised the author’s distinctive voice, others were horrified by what was happening on the Yorkshire moors, where the demonic passions of strong-willed and stubborn people rule, and where the tragic love story between Heathcliff, whom the Earnshaws took in as a boy, and Catherine Earnshaw, whose father owns the remote Wuthering Heights, takes place. Victorian society was shocked by the novel’s incredible emotional power and by its outrageous depiction of morality. The beauty of Wuthering Heights captivates even modern readers.
