Book description
The classic tale of tormented love and the inexorable pull of the past, from one of history's greatest literary talents,with an introduction by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic
When young orphan Heathcliff is adopted by a wealthy gentleman, he quickly forms a close bond with his benefactor's daughter, Cathy. But over the years, their childhood friendship morphs into a desperate, twisted, possessive love, as they wrestle with the violent and tyrannical rule of Cathy's brother and the confines of social class that keep them apart. What follows is an ingenious and darkly captivating narrative of frustrated passion and tortured heartbreak reverberating through the generations, wrought with all the brutality, power, and wildness of the Yorkshire moors.
With striking force, Emily Bronte's mesmerizing prose claws at the nature of human folly, defying the gender, religious, and social mores of its day. Wuthering Heights is a transcendent, mystifying masterpiece thatexamines the cruelty of love, and the ways in which the past, scratching at a windowpane with ghostly fingers, never lets us go.
The Modern Library Torchbearers series features women who wrote on their own terms, with boldness, creativity, and a spirit of resistance.
Published in 1847, Wuthering Heights is a story of passion, revenge, and the destructive power of love set in the Yorkshire moors of England. The narrative is framed by the character of Mr. Lockwood, a tenant who rents Thrushcross Grange, where he meets the brooding Heathcliff, the central character of the story.
Heathcliff is a dark-skinned orphan taken in by the Earnshaw family, living at Wuthering Heights. He forms a deep bond with Catherine Earnshaw, but their love is disrupted by social class divisions and Catherine's decision to marry Edgar Linton, a more socially acceptable match. Heathcliff, feeling betrayed and seeking revenge, embarks on a path of cruelty and manipulation.
The story spans generations, following the intertwined fates of the Earnshaw and Linton families. Heathcliff's obsession with Catherine's memory drives much of the plot, leading to tragic consequences for all involved. Themes of love, vengeance, and the destructive nature of obsession permeate the novel, culminating in a haunting and darkly romantic tale of passion and its consequences.
