Reseña del libro "Wuthering Heights"

'Emily's one novel, Wuthering Heights, is a thunderstorm.' - The AtlanticWuthering Heights has achieved an almost mythical status. It is a unique masterpiece of the imagination: an unsettling, transgressive novel about obsession, violence and death. Perhaps the most haunting and tormented love story ever written. "May you not rest, as long as I am living. You said I killed you - haunt me, then"Published in 1847, the year before Emily Bronte's death at the age of thirty, Wuthering Heights has proved to be one of the nineteenth century's most popular yet disturbing masterpieces. The windswept moors are the unforgettable setting of this tale of the love between the foundling Heathcliff and his wealthy benefactor's daughter, Catherine. Through Catherine's betrayal of Heathcliff and his bitter vengeance, their mythic passion haunts the next generation even after their deaths. Incorporating elements of many genres--from gothic novels and ghost stories to poetic allegory--and transcending them all, Wuthering Heights is a mystifying and powerful tour de force.'To appreciate the greatness of Wuthering Heights, I had to stop trying to read it as a love story. It's when I began to read it instead as a story of intergenerational abuse, and how that abuse creates monsters, that I started to understand why it's such a beloved book.' - Vox
