Wuthering Heights

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 Brontë had to publish it using her own money, as well as a masculine pseudonym. While some critics praised 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. The 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.
