"Wuthering Heights" is the only novel of English author Emily Brontë (1818-1848). It was first published in 1847, though under the author¿s pen name Ellis Bell.
Mr. Earnshaw finds a presumably orphaned boy on the streets of Liverpool and takes him to Wuthering Heights. There the boy, who is named Heathcliff then, grows close with Earnshaw¿s daughter Catherine. When they have become young adults, there is a deep love between them. But one day Edgar Linton, a young man of higher social status, proposes marriage to Catherine. The young woman makes a fatal decision.
Although contemporary critics considered the novel controversial because of its mental and physical cruelty, nowadays "Wuthering Heights" is a classic of 19th century literature. Some argue that the novel is even superior to Jane Eyre, which is also one of the most-loved novels ever. There are several dramatic adaptations of Wuthering Heights, including film, radio, TV, opera and music.
"A fiend of a book - an incredible monster [...] The action is laid in hell, - only it seems places and people have English names there." Dante Gabriel Rossetti
"A monument of the most striking genius that nineteenth-century womanhood has given us." Clement Shorter
"The greatest work of fiction by any man or woman Europe has produced to date." Anthony Ludovici
"Emily was inspired by some more general conception. [...] She looked out upon a world cleft into gigantic disorder and felt within her the power to unite it in a book." Virginia Woolf

This is not a love story

This is not a love story. Not even close. Emily Brontë has nothing to do with Jane Austen. It’s not about passion or unrequited love. This is a horror story with more villains than heroes. It’s about obsession, insanity and cruelty. A sheer endless circle of violence and domestic abuse. With insufferable characters and their vile actions. They loathe and destroy each other on purpose. They are self-centered, stubborn and unreasonable. Among all these lunatics lives the housekeeper, a young woman, telling us about the people she grew up with. This story is so vicious, it shocks its readers until this day. And it is a masterpiece. Just don’t try to make it something it isn’t. If my description above appeals to you, you’re in for a treat. If you’re looking for romance, read something else.

This tale of love and unrelenting vengeance truly deserves to be called a classic. The story follows Heathcliff an orphan that is adopted by Mr. Earnshaw and falls in love with his daughter Catherine. Because of circumstances that I will not spoil to future readers Catherin will not marry Heathcliff and here begins the revenge. From now on Heathcliff does everything to harm Catherines husband, their children and everyone else he deems worthy of his revenge.
Emily Brontës descriptions of the English moors are stunning and breathtaking and were besides the plot the main reason I fell in love with this book. It took me a while to get used to her writing style but it is completely worth the effort and I can only recommend it to everyone who enjoys spooky English moors and a tale of revenge and love.
