Emily Brontë’s only novel, Wuthering Heights remains one of literature’s most disturbing explorations into the dark side of romantic passion. Heathcliff and Cathy believe they’re destined to love each other forever, but when cruelty and snobbery separate them, their untamed emotions literally consume them.
Set amid the wild and stormy Yorkshire moors, Wuthering Heights, an unpolished and devastating epic of childhood playmates who grow into soul mates, is widely regarded as the most original tale of thwarted desire and heartbreak in the English language.
Daphne Merkin is the author of a novel, Enchantment, which won the Edward Lewis Wallant award for best new work of American-Jewish fiction, and an essay collection, Dreaming of Hitler. She has written essays and reviews for publications that include American Scholar, the New York Times, where she is a regular contributor to the Book Review, the Los Angeles Times Book Review, Elle, and Vogue.

Emily Brontë escreve um amor que está muito distante da ideia romântica tradicional. Heathcliff e Catherine vivem uma relação construída sobre obsessão, orgulho, ressentimento e desejo de posse. Não existem personagens verdadeiramente puros; todos carregam defeitos que os tornam profundamente humanos. A atmosfera gótica transforma a natureza em uma extensão dos sentimentos dos protagonistas. É um romance intenso justamente porque recusa idealizar o amor.
Cumbres Borrascosas no es una historia romántica. Es una historia de venganza, de discriminación y de cómo un grupo de personas poco confiables, pésimas y totalmente incapaces de asumir la responsabilidad de sus actos.Admiré profundamente la pluma de la autora. Llegué a odiar a Heathcliff hasta un punto imperdonable, y tampoco podía creer el nivel de autoengaño de Cathy ni su eterno papel de víctima.En fin, amé que toda esta tragedia la conozcamos simplemente porque Nelly le dio por ponerse a chismear con un visitante.
I only finished because I was told the last half was better than the first. Terrible, hateful, awful characters, all of them.
