Wuthering Heights

The story of tragic love between two wild hearts is one of the most popular and recognizable works in European literature of the 19th century.

“Wuthering Heights” has been adapted for film multiple times, and references to the plot can be found in many works about destructive passion. Love against the backdrop of bleak heath wastelands led to madness and the death of the heroes of Emily Brontë's only novel. Rage, rebellion, and attachment merged into a single whole in the lives of Heathcliff and Catherine. The feelings of the wild orphan towards his stepsister do not yield to logic or morality; they are not subdued by human strength, evil fate, or even death.

Emotions that completely consumed their owner and shattered more than one life frightened the Victorian man, but fascinated subsequent generations of readers. This novel can be loved and can be hated. One thing is certain — it is extremely difficult to remain indifferent to it.
