Wuthering Height

Résumé

Numerous of the earliest books, particularly those that were published in the 1900s or earlier, have become exceedingly difficult to find and are fetching ever-higher prices. These well-known works are being reissued by our company in up-to-date editions that are both affordable and of a very high standard in terms of both the text and the artwork. Wuthering Heights: Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.
