Wuthering Heights (Grozovoy Pereval)

Emily Brontë's (1818-1848) contemporaries and descendants often asserted that she was far more a poet than a novelist. Yet, she entered literary history primarily as the author of her celebrated novel Wuthering Heights. It was called 'the most romantic novel,' 'a diabolical book that united all the most powerful feminine inclinations,' and one of the finest novels 'for the power and penetrating nature of its style.' Reading the novel leaves no one indifferent. This story of Heathcliff, the adopted son of the owner of Wuthering Heights, and his fatal passion for the owner's daughter, Catherine, filled with love and hate, finds its readers again and again. As before, it draws readers in, captivating them with its beauty and astonishing them with the author's profound insight into the mysteries of the human soul.
