Wuthering Heights

De: Emily Brontë

Narrado por: Patricia Routledge

The passionate and tragic story of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff is one of the high points of 19th-century Romantic literature. In the relationship of Cathy and Heathcliff, and in the wild, bleak Yorkshire Moors of its setting, Wuthering Heights creates a world of its own, conceived with a disregard for convention and an instinct for poetry and the darkest depths of the human soul in torment.

Yes

What did you like best about this story?

I love the narrator. She takes the housekeeper Ellen Dean and makes her a real character. The depth is awesome in this rendition

Wonderful story, great performance

The story, of course, is a wonderful tale of jealousy, spite, answer, bitterness, meanness, folly, and yes love - of sorts. Maybe infatuation, abandonment, and revenge that masquerades as love.

The performance is great. With so many voices and characters to both distinguish and enliven, the narrator was no doubt challenged and yet acquired herself swimmingly.

Bravo!

Haunting Classic

I mostly enjoyed the book until it took a rather twisted turn in Heathcliff's mind. Additionally, both Catherine and Cathy's incisive whining, selfishness and hatefulness made it increasingly difficult to feel anything other than disgust for either of them. Nelly Dean was my favorite character. Of course, the story is told from her perspective, but I found her to be a very diverse character. I would recommend this book only to those who are open minded and have a love for the classics.

Amazing performance of a classic

A great performance! Excellently read and bringing full force of meaning to the story Patricia Routledge is a master.

There is a good reason this story endures

This was a fantastic experience. I continually marveled at how Emily Bronte, with her limited resources, could write such a masterpiece. And the narrator brought the complex story to life. This is one case where it's better to listen to, rather than read, the novel. It was excellent!!!!!
