Wuthering Heights - (Smith & Taylor Classics) by Emily Brontë (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

When Lockwood seeks relief from a lashing storm in the surly hospitality of Heathcliff, master of Wuthering Heights, a grand house on the Yorkshire moors, he can't imagine the tale that he will soon hear.

It is a tale of passion and revenge involving Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, his childhood best friend and the love of his life who deals him a stunning betrayal. Reader and Lockwood both are held spellbound by the story of Heathcliff's quest for vengeance and his bitter acrimony which has devastating consequences for all.

For generations, Emily Brontë's novel of suspense and operatic intensity has enraptured and moved readers to fall in love with Heathcliff's dark moods and brooding intensity. Salient to this day, this novel is a surprisingly modern exploration of race, gender, class, and the ways that love is frustrated and thwarted by bigotry and prejudice.
