Wuthering Heights

A mysterious novel that overturns all familiar concepts of good and evil, love and hate - "Wuthering Heights", is one of the most unique works of world literature. Emily Brontë was forced to publish it at her own expense and... under a male pseudonym. While some reviewers admired the author's originality, others were horrified by what was happening on the moorlands of Yorkshire, where demonic passions of strong personalities raged, unwilling to yield to each other, and the story of the fateful love of Heathcliff, the adopted son of the owner of a remote estate, for Catherine, the daughter of his master, unfolds. Society at that time was struck by the extraordinary emotional power of the novel and shocked by the boldness of its moral concepts. "Wuthering Heights" mesmerizes contemporary readers with its beauty.
