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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Emily Brontë’s gothic masterpiece still has the power to shock. On the remote Yorkshire moors, an orphan named Heathcliff is taken in by the Earnshaw family and falls deeply in love with their daughter Catherine. But when Catherine chooses to marry another man, Heathcliff’s heartbreak curdles into a vengeance that will consume not just the two of them, but their children as well. It’s hard not to get swept up in the feverish emotions of this deeply strange love story, which is wilder and darker than many adaptations suggest. If you’ve never experienced Wuthering Heights, be prepared to fall under its spell.
Customer Reviews
Wuthering heights
An evergreen marvel by Emily Bronte. I am not too fond of Heathcliff, I think no one is but if we look overall he was alone and the one person he cared the most about chose status over him.
Catherine was a passionate character but her o e wrong choice caused the destruction of many around her.
I liked Edgar Linton the most. He was a giving, caring person who suffered at the end without any fault.
The story describes amazingly of a love gone wrong, a love which can be the death of all. wrong. A love which caused destruction of people around them, left everyone battered and bruised for the choice of one can kill all.
I loved the book, seriously.
hats off to emily bronte
