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.

An illustrated adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's classic - at an
easy-to-read level for readers of all ages! Plain and poor, Jane
Eyre has always been treated unkindly. Her aunt and cousins despise
her, and her school is cruel. One day, Jane sets out on her own to
be a governess at Thornfield. Here Jane meets Mr Rochester, the
serious master of the house. And there is a strange, eerie laughter
coming from the attic ... About The Complete Bronte Sisters
Children's Collection: From the haunted Yorkshire moors to the
towering battlements of Thornfield Hall, experience the Bronte
sisters' famous stories of love, self-discovery and family feuds.
Adapted and illustrated for children aged 7+.
Transgressive, foulmouthed, and wildly funny, Brontez Purnell's 100
Boyfriends is a filthy, unforgettable, and brutally profound ode to
queer love in its most messy of variations. From one-night stands
to recurring lovers, Purnell's characters sleep with their
co-worker's husbands, expose themselves to racist neighbours, date
Satanists, and drink their way out of trouble, all the while
fighting - and often losing - the urge to self-sabotage. A horny,
punk love song full of imperfect intimacies, 100 Boyfriends takes
readers on a riotous journey through dirty warehouses and
gentrified bars, from dysfunctional houseshares to desolate farming
towns in Alabama. Drawing us into a community of glorious misfits
living on the margins of a white supremacist, heteronormative
society, iconoclastic storyteller Brontez Purnell gives us an
uncompromising vision of desire, desperation, race, loneliness, and
queerness that will devastate as much as it entertains.
Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage.
She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester. However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors.
Ultimately the grand passion of Jane and Rochester is called upon to survive cruel revelation, loss and reunion, only to be confronted with tragedy.
