Wuthering Heights

A mystery novel that overturns all conventional notions of good and evil, love and hate - "Wuthering Heights," is one of the most unique works of world literature. Emily Brontë was forced to publish it at her own expense and under a male pseudonym. While some reviewers admired the author's originality, others were horrified by what was happening on the moors of Yorkshire, where demonic passions of strong personalities rage, unwilling to yield to one another, and the story of the tragic love of Heathcliff, the adopted son of the owner of a remote estate, for Catherine, the daughter of his master, unfolds. Society at the time was struck by the extraordinary emotional power of the novel and shocked by the boldness of its moral concepts. "Wuthering Heights" captivates even the modern reader with its beauty.
