Wuthering Heights

“Wuthering Heights” is the most famous work of the English writer and poet Emily Brontë and her only novel published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell. The book, published in 1847, became a true challenge to the strict Victorian morality. The... story of orphan Heathcliff and the rule-breaking Katherine in an old family mansion, lost in the midst of the heather moors, turned the notion of the romantic prose genre upside down and provoked heated debates among both readers and literary critics. “He is more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” The main character, Heathcliff, is a dark and obsessed man whose love for Catherine Earnshaw leads to tragic consequences. After losing Catherine, he plunges into madness and vengeance, sparing no one from his surroundings. The complex relationships between characters, psychological dramas, and gothic atmosphere create powerful, unforgettable prose that exposes the darkest sides of human nature.
