Description

An unpolished and devastating epic of childhood playmates who grow into soulmates, "Wuthering Heights" revolves around the willfully childish Catherine and the dark Heathcliff, who, in the words of Charlotte Bronte, "exemplifies the effects which a life of continued injustice and hard usage may produce on a naturally perverse, vindictive, and inexorable disposition." Heathcliff and Cathy believe they're destined to love each other forever. But when cruelty and snobberry separate them, their untamed emotion litterally consume them.

Set amid the wild and stormy Yorkshire moors, "Wuthering Heights" is widely regarded as the most original tale of thwarted desire and heartbreak in the English language.
