Wuthering Heights

Zusatztext

On the wild Yorkshire moors, where the wind never quite stops and the past never quite dies, two souls are bound together in a love that is closer to a force of nature than a human feeling. Heathcliff, a foundling raised above his station and then cast brutally back down, dedicates his life to revenge against the families who humiliated him ¿ and to reclaiming the woman he never stopped loving. Catherine Earnshaw is no passive victim: she is passionate, contradictory, and complicit in every disaster that follows. Emily Brontë's only novel explodes every Victorian convention about how stories of love and class should be told. It is savage, strange, and unforgettable ¿ a book that seems to generate its own weather. The ghosts here are not metaphors. The cruelty is not redeemed. And the love, if that is what it is, survives everything, including death.
