Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
If you’ve only ever seen Wuthering Heights on screen, you may have an image of Catherine and Heathcliff as the ultimate star-crossed lovers. But that’s just scratching the surface of this iconic Gothic romance. Emily Brontë’s only novel is an unabashedly dark tale of passion and revenge that created shockwaves upon its publication in 1847.
Without spoiling too much, the original Heathcliff is breathtakingly vengeful, cruel, and possessive, not the deeply misunderstood romantic hero of some adaptations. And Brontë’s story does not end happily ever after. After tragedy strikes, Heathcliff haunts the swirling mists of the Yorkshire moors, consumed with possessing a ghost. A must-read for fans of Gothic literature, this novel will appeal to anyone who loves a creepy story.
Customer Reviews
Not just another classic book
I must admit, I only began reading this book because it's one of those classics you just have to read. But the contend made me happily surprised! The characteristics are amazing and especially Heathcliff is such a strong character - his mind is working in wicked ways and I could not stop myself from trying to figure out his next move.
This is definitely not just a boring love story, it is something far far more than that.
