Part of the Legend Classics series Catherine Earnshaw had no idea
that the boy her father took in from the streets of Liverpool would
one day become her lover, her soul mate. Nor did she know that her
decision to marry someone else would send him down the path of
destruction. Once a novel criticised for its display of mental and
physical cruelty, Wuthering Heights is now a considered a 19th
century classic. It's themes of gender inequality and violence
driven by passion still resonate with readers today.
A HAUNTING TALE OF DARK LONGINGS AND TRAGIC LOVE Bitter, brooding,
and cynical-Heathcliff resides at 'Wuthering Heights', a run-down
estate on the bleak Yorkshire moors. But he wasn't always like
this. Youthful and wild, once upon a time, Heathcliff had been in
love with the singularly charming Catherine Earnshaw. They'd grown
up together-he, a lowly gypsy foundling adopted by Catherine's
father, and she, a proper lady, born in a family of repute. Their
romance was doomed from the start. And yet, they fell in love-an
epic, all-consuming love that threatened to devour them whole. But
Heathcliff wasn't alone in his affections, for Catherine had caught
the eye of another man: Edgar Lipton, a rich and well-bred youth,
who, everyone agreed, was a perfect match for her. Trapped by
societal expectations, Catherine made a choice that triggered a
tempestuous series of events, changing their lives forever.
Astonishingly poetic and heart-achingly tragic, Wuthering Heights
is a gothic masterpiece that will immerse you in a world that is
both beautiful and nightmarish.
