An adapted, easy-to-read edition of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights- with engaging illustrations throughout.

This Top Five Classics illustrated edition of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights includes the complete, unabridged text; 12 starkly beautiful woodcut illustrations by renowned artist Clare Leighton (which were the inspiration for the sets of the classic 1939 Laurence Olivier-Merle Oberon film adaptation), as well as a helpful introduction, detailed author bio, and bibliography.Wuthering Heights was released in 1847 in the shadow of the instantly successful Jane Eyre, published two months earlier by her older sister Charlotte. It enjoyed only mixed reviews--but the reactions were intense, foreshadowing the eventual stature the novel would claim in the pantheon of English literature, surpassing in many readers' eyes even her sister's magnum opus. Though Emily would not live to see it, Wuthering Heights would become synonymous with passionate gothic romance and tragic love, establishing Heathcliff and Catherine as the most poignantly doomed couple in fiction since Romeo and Juliet, but with even darker consequences for everyone involved.

When two souls collide, the impact can resonate for all eternity. So it was - and so it is - with Heathcliff and Cathy. But if they can't be together, the world that struggles to contain them will simply shatter and burn... Andrew Sheridan's gripping reinvention of Emily Brontë's classic novel Wuthering Heights is a searing and ferocious celebration of passion, of desire - and of the female imagination that created this indelible masterpiece. Exposing a very different but essentially truthful side to literature's most electric couple, it premiered at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, in 2020, in a production directed by Bryony Shanahan, joint Artistic Director of the theatre.

När hittebarnet Heathcliff får följa med Mr Earnshaw hem till det stora huset på Wuthering Heights är det början på hans nya liv. Heathcliff och Mr Earnshaws dotter Catherine finner varandra direkt, men trots att Heathcliff är älskad av fadern och systern kan brodern inte acceptera honom som en del av familjen. Heathcliff växer upp olycklig och svåråtkomlig och när hans fosterfar avlider försvåras hans liv ytterligare. Hans enda lycka och den enda som fortfarande älskar honom är Catherine, men deras vägar skiljs och Catherine gifter sig med en annan. När Heathcliff får höra om Catherines äktenskap med sin forne rival förmörkas hans värld och hämnden blir hans enda drivkraft.Emily Jane Brontë (1818-1848) var en brittisk författare och är känd för sin enda publicerade roman, “Svindlande höjder”, som publicerades 1847 under pseudonymen Ellis Bell. Tillsammans med sina systrar Charlotte och Anne spenderade Emily sin ungdom med att bygga upp fantasifulla världar dit de kunde drömma sig bort. Emily dog 1849, troligtvis på grund av sjukdomen tuberkulos.

Lucy Gough brings Emily Bronte's gothic tale of tortured love to the stage in all its turbulent, passionate glory. Wuthering Heights embodies the eternal pull between good and evil, dark and light, and heaven and hell.

In 1801, Lockwood, a wealthy young man from the South of England who is seeking peace and recuperation, rents Thrushcross Grange in Yorkshire. He visits his landlord, Heathcliff, who lives in a remote moorland farmhouse, Wuthering Heights. There Lockwood finds an odd assemblage: Heathcliff who seems to be a gentleman, but his manners are uncouth; the reserved mistress of the house who is in her mid-teens; and a young man who seems to be a member of the family, yet dresses and speaks as if he is a servant. After his visit to the Heights, Lockwood becomes ill, and is confined to his bed for some length of time. The Grange housekeeper, Ellen Dean, who is looking after him, tells him the story of the family at the Heights during his convalescence.
