8474612772 8474612772 I couldn’t finish this and stopped at 74%. I might try again later, but it’s such an exhausting read and I don’t care what happens to the characters anymore. Nearly everyone in this book is foolish, over-dramatic, and malicious. I get that it’s a classic (it is well written and deals with content not really explored in its time, especially not by women), but I’m at a point where it’s like ‘oh look, they’re being awful again’ and I want to move on to reading something better. I applaud this novel. I comprehend why it stirred the waters, since its publication. It was dark, obsessive, controversial, and well-written. Was Mr. Heathcliff a devil or just different? Did his upbringing change his perspective of how the world is? This for me is a good example of the 'sins of the father' trope. The novel delved deep towards mental illness and instability, caused by choices set in motion with emotionional and physical abuse. I enjoyed this read very much - 5 stars. There are very few books that you can say "the movie is better." This is one of them.

"In Wuthering Heights the reader is shocked, disgusted, almost sickened by details of cruelty, inhumanity, and the most diabolical hate and vengeance" ... "[it is] impossible to lay it aside afterwards and say nothing about it". "How a human being could have attempted such a book as the present without committing suicide before he had finished a dozen chapters, is a mystery. It is a compound of vulgar depravity and unnatural horrors." "We know nothing in the whole range of our fictitious literature which presents such shocking pictures of the worst forms of humanity." a "disagreeable story" ... the Bells "seem to affect painful and exceptional subjects" Belongs to Publisher Series — 71 more Blackbirds (1991.1) Colecção História da Literatura (Livro 3) Coleção Obras-Primas (24) Dean's Classics (16) dtv (14656) Everyman's Library (243) Florin Books (13) Harper Perennial Olive Editions (2018 Olive) insel taschenbuch (0141) Kennemer serie (nr. 21) Le livre de poche (0105-0106) Modern Library (106) Novelas eternas (2) Penguin Books (524) Penguin Clothbound Classics (2008) Penguin English Library, 2012 series (2012-12) Perpetua reeks (20) Pocket Books (7) The Pocket Library (PL-10) Prisma Klassieken (33) Reader's Enrichment Series (RE 320) Reinaert-reeks (41) Riverside Editions (B2) Virago Modern Classics (358) The World's Classics (10) Zephyr Books (8) Áncora y Delfín (2) Is contained inThe Complete Novels: Agnes Grey / Jane Eyre / The Professor / Shirley / The Tenant of Wildfell Hall / Villette / Wuthering Heights by Charlotte Brontë Villette by Charlotte Brontë (indirect) Vilette / Jane Eyre / Shirley / The Tenant of Wildfell Hall / Agnes Grey / Wuthering Heights by Charlotte Brontë The Brontë Collection: Includes Jane Eyre, The Professor, Shirley, Villette, Wuthering Heights, Agnes Grey, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Cottage Poems and More by Charlotte Brontë The Complete Novels of the Brontë Sisters (8 Novels: Jane Eyre, Shirley, Villette, The Professor, Emma, Wuthering Heights, Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall) by Charlotte Brontë 6 Volume Set Jane Eyre, Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Wuthering Heights, Agnes Grey, Professor, Poems, Miscellanea, Shirley, Villete by Charlotte Brontë Brontë Sisters: The Professor / Angrian Tales and Poems / The Tenant of Wildfell Hall / Agnes Grey / Wuthering Heights / Jane Eyre / Villette / Shirley by Anne Brontë Agnes Grey / The Tenant of Wildfell Hall / Jane Eyre / The Professor / Villette / Wuthering Heights / Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell by Anne Brontë Life and Works of the Brontë Sisters (Thornfield Edition) by Emily and Charlotte Bronte.

Fictio
HTML: A country gentleman returns one night to his isolated and unforgiving home with a gypsy child tucked under his cloak. Treated as an animal, the child Heathcliff grows up twisted and wild. But he and the daughter of the house, Catherine, are inseparable and love each other like they were one being. When they grow up and Catherine wishes to enter the society which Heathcliff cannot, the lives of everyone around them are destroyed in the rending. Only the generation to follow them contains the seeds of hope and reconstruction. The narrative structure of Wuthering Heights was highly innovative and original when the novel was first published. Emily Brontë played with the assumptions that a story is told chronologically and that a narrator is honest. No library descriptions found.
