Emily knows how to love and how to hate.
The language might be a little too heavy if you aren't used to reading books, especially english classics, though once you get the hang of it, it will be easy. The story itself is memorable. The old novels shows the side of love which is scarcely present nowadays. They are more passionate, more expressive, full of love, hate, anger and more love. Emily's prose is a masterpiece. She could have written trash and i still would have read her. She just captures you and keeps you in her words. You will be asking for more. I have heard that her sisters works are very similar, so if you like this one, definitely go for others. Brontรซ family has blue blood in writing. Regarding the book's delivery, it arrived in perfect condition. Fingerprint publications uses translations available in public domains, the reason why they are much cheaper than, say, penguin. Still, if you are buying English literature, go for fingerprint if you don't want to splurge a fortune.

A contemporary classic must to be read for the literary richness it possesses
The 19th century author Emily Bronte, is wildly known for her only novel Wuthering Heights, now labeled as a classic of English literature. Emily died at the age of 30, in the year 1848 due to tuberculosis after a few days of publication of her novel. Mr. Earnshaw, owner of the Wuthering Heights gives shelter to an orphan named Heathcliff who plays roles of both protagonist and antagonist in the novel. He grows up with Earnshaw's children; Hindley and Catherine. After Earnshaw's demise Hindley becomes extremely harsh and aims to destroy Heathcliff but Catherine shares a very strong bond with Heathcliff and provides him moral strength to stay strong against all the abuses of Hindley. Nelly is a caretaker of the Earnshaw's. Another prime family of the novel is Lintons. Edgar and Isabella are disciplined kids of Lintons, living at Thrushcross Grange and are totally opposite of Heathcliff and Catherine. They welcome and accept Catherine into their house but not Heathcliff. Although having deep affection for Heathcliff, Catherine marries with Edgar Linton. Heathcliff vows revenge and marries Isabella Linton. He doesn't even care who he hurts while expressing or executing his anger and hatred. He is desperate to destroy all dear belongings of Edgar Linton. And story moves on further with the second generation of both the families and ends with an unexpected climax. Heathcliff is the rarest of the characters that one can ever imagine. The sentimental core of the plot is Heathcliff and Catherine's semi incestuous bond. It's a deep, soulful yet quite disturbing love story of revenge and intergenerational abuse. It is Hindley's abuse that makes Heathcliff a monster. Wuthering Heights resembles heady stuff of the abusive cycles and interfamily violence. Wuthering Heights is contemporary classic novel that accurately portrays life during the early era. The way it is crafted and the literary merit it possess, gives the feeling of being trapped in moors and experiencing the liveliness of character around. It is an awesome piece of quality literature that perhaps only a genius can make happen.

โญโญโญโญโญ 5/5 โ Dark, Passionate, and Hauntingly Beautiful
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontรซ is a timeless classic that blends intense romance, raw human emotion, and gothic atmosphere into an unforgettable story. Set on the wild Yorkshire moors, it follows the turbulent lives of Heathcliff and Catherine, whose love is as destructive as it is unbreakable.

This isnโt a gentle love story; itโs about obsession, revenge, and the way emotions can echo across generations. The shifting narrators and layered storytelling make it immersive, while the moral complexity keeps you thinking long after you close the book. A powerful read for anyone who appreciates literature thatโs as stormy and unpredictable as life itself.

A classic tale of love, envy, passion, and revenge!
Genre : #gothicfiction No: of pages: 300 ๐ Hola bookworms! How about a romance that's strangely original yet doomed to destroy its residents and everyone around? ๐ The author Emily Bronte had an unusual character, extremely unsocial and reserved. Although best known for her only novel, she is essentially a poet. ๐ The story is set in the lonely moors of Yorkshire. Mr. Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Granges, is forced to seek shelter for a night at Wuthering Heights, which is the home of his landlord, Mr. Heathcliff. As the night passes, Lockwood learns of the tumultuous past of Wuthering Heights and its inhabitants, of how a homeless gypsy boy had been fostered there; of how the owner's daughter had fallen in love with him; of how their love had ended tragically, and finally, of how that gypsy boy โ Mr. Heathcliff โhad taken terrible revenge that had destroyed them all except Mrs. Nelly Dean, the housekeeper. She lives on to tell the tale of the doomed love story of Mr. Heathcliff and Mrs. Catherine Linton to Mr. Lockwood! ๐ "He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same!" The author has stunningly penned down a romantic tale that's set for doom right from the start. This is my first read in the Gothic fiction genre and though I detested it at the beginning, I loved it by the time I finished the book. It is a classic tale of thwarted passion, love, envy, betrayal, and revenge, and yes you'll be shocked by the magnanimity of the revenge though. That's how powerful her writing is. But sadly, the author Emily died without knowing the magnanimous success of her only novel!

I am glad I did - it is one of the greatest ...
I have read this classic in hardback & paperback & decided to get it in Kindle. I am glad I did - it is one of the greatest novels in world literature. I have only given it 4 stars as a note of caution : the few illustrations are not at all clear & all except one were of red indians hunting buffalo - unless my eyes are playing up!
