Wuthering Heights – Emily Brontë
‘Is Mr. Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And if not, is he a devil?’
Orphaned and wild, Heathcliff is taken in by Mr. Earnshaw and raised as his son at Wuthering Heights on the bleak Yorkshire moors. Drawn to Earnshaw’s daughter, Catherine, Heathcliff grows up bound to her by an intense and passionate love. But when Catherine’s father dies, Heathcliff is condemned to servitude, and social disparity drives a wedge between them — a wedge that will lead to heartbreak, revenge, and tragedy.
Poetic, grand in scope, and exploring morality, social codes, and the darker sides of human nature, Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontë’s masterpiece and one of the most emotive Gothic novels ever written.
