"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.
Emily Brontë (Thornton, Yorksire, 1818 x{0026} x02013; Haworth, Yorkshire, 1848) fue la segunda de las tres hermanas Brontë, hijas de un pastor protestante, que vivieron aisladas en la casa sacerdotal de Haworth. En 1846 publicó un libro de versos bajo el pseudónimo Ellis Bell y al año siguiente apareció su única novela, Cumbres borrascosas.
