Emily Brontë
"Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."
Heathcliff arrives at Wuthering Heights as an orphan child, taken in by Mr. Earnshaw and immediately despised by his son Hindley. He grows up inseparable from Hindley's sister Catherine — and when she chooses to marry the respectable Edgar Linton instead, Heathcliff disappears, returns years later transformed and wealthy, and begins a campaign of vengeance that consumes two generations of both families.
Emily Brontë published Wuthering Heights in 1847, the same year as her sister Charlotte's Jane Eyre. Where Charlotte's novel is ultimately about a woman finding her place in the world, Emily's is about what happens when love turns to obsession and obsession to destruction. The love between Heathcliff and Catherine is one of literature's most intensely rendered relationships — passionate, selfish, and haunting in the precise sense of the word.
This premium hardbound collector's edition with sprayed edges presents Brontë's original, unabridged text — a gothic masterpiece in a format worthy of its force.
