Description
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING MARGOT ROBBIE AND JACOB ELORDI Emily Brontë’s timeless, classic gothic tale of obsession, betrayal, and a love that is stronger than death “My greatest thought in living is Heathcliff. If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be. . . . Nelly, I am Heathcliff! He’s always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure . . . but as my own being.” Rescued from the streets of Liverpool by a wealthy gentleman, young orphan Heathcliff quickly forms a deep bond with the man’s daughter, Cathy. Yet Cathy’s brother, resentful and jealous of Heathcliff, subjects him to violent bouts of abuse and humiliation. Despite the wild, passionate connection between Cathy and Heathcliff throughout the years, she decides that she must marry for social status and weds another man instead. What follows is a masterful, haunting narrative of unfulfilled desire and excruciating sorrow that echoes across generations, infused with the raw intensity and untamed spirit of the Yorkshire moors. The only novel by Emily Brontë, who died a year after its publication at the age of thirty, Wuthering Heights is a fierce vision of metaphysical passion in which heaven and hell, nature and society, and dynamic and passive forces are powerfully juxtaposed. Unique, mystical, with a timeless appeal, it has become a classic of English literature. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read
