A special edition hardcover embossed with silver foil
The estate of Wuthering Heights sits on a hill in the rugged Yorkshire countryside. It lies defenceless against the wind, which blows harder here than anywhere else. Its owner, the kind-hearted Mr Earnshaw, takes in the foundling Heathcliff. Earnshaw's daughter Cathy soon falls madly in love with him. But their love ends in tragedy, and a web of revenge and betrayal is woven around the estate. Emily Brontë's classic dark love story, set in a romantic and untamed landscape, remains one of the most intense reads to this day.

(Author portrait)
Emily Jane Brontë (1818-1848) wuchs mit ihren ebenfalls literarisch hochbegabten Schwestern Charlotte und Anne sowie ihrem Bruder Branwell vollkommen abgeschieden im väterlichen Pfarrhaus in Yorkshire auf. 1845 wurden die Gedichte der Brontë-Schwestern unter Pseudonym gedruckt; 1847 veröffentlichten die drei jeweils ihren ersten Roman.
