Produktbeschreibung
Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontë's classic tale of tumultuous love thrown up against envy, regret, and revenge. A widely read romance today, it was cutting edge in the 1800s. In fact, aware that she was writing against the grain of the Victorian era, Brontë originally released the work under the pseudonym "Ellis Bell." Given the tragic outcome of affairs at the ancient manor of Wuthering Heights, this is a love story that is at odds with the 'storybook ending' that we might associate with the romance genre, Valentine's Day, and the like. At the time, a reviewer wrote that Brontë's book described "brutal cruelty, and semi-savage love." The women: "tantalising, and terrible." The men: "indescribable out of the book itself." In weaving her story so, Brontë left her mark on English literature forever.
