Emily Brontë: Wuthering Heights, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Emily Brontë's only novel, written in a Yorkshire parsonage, published under a male pseudonym, and dead within a year of publication at twenty-nine. Wuthering Heights is one of the most extraordinary works in the English language.

Set on the Yorkshire moors, the novel follows two landowning families and their turbulent relationships with Heathcliff, a mysterious foster son of unknown origin. The love between Heathcliff and Catherine is not romantic in any comfortable sense: it is elemental, destructive, and cannot be contained by life or death. Driven by obsessive love, possession, and revenge that spans generations, the story unfolds through dark passion and cruelty.

The narrative structure, layered through multiple tellers, creates deliberate disorientation. Nelly Dean tells Lockwood, who tells us, and neither is entirely reliable. The moor is as much a character as any human. No Victorian novel is stranger, and few works of English literature have generated such passionate devotion.

This Long Form Press edition presents Brontë's complete and unabridged text in a beautifully typeset B-format paperback, designed for readers who take literature seriously.
