Wuthering Heights

De: Emily Brontë

Narrado por: Michael Page, Laural Merlington

Featured title in the 2018 PBS Great American Reads

Emily Bronte’s time-tested story of love turned on itself and the violence and misery that result from thwarted passion.

A novel of immense power, Wuthering Heights is filled with the raw beauty of the English moors and a deep compassion for the conflicting destinies of men and women. The novel begins with Lockwood, a tenant who takes up residence close to Wuthering Heights. His landlord, Mr. Heathcliff, proves to be surly, unfriendly, and rude. When Lockwood discovers a mildewed book with the names Catherine Earnshaw, Catherine Heathcliff, and Catherine Linton scratched on its cover, he begins to read, sojourning on a strange tale that proves irresistible. The heart-wrenching story he discovers about stubborn Cathy and wild-as-the-wind Heathcliff has been a favorite since its original publication in 1848.

Amazing

This story doesn’t require any comments from me, but the performance was amazing. I have read this book many times, but I heard the story in a new way. Highly recommend.

Yes because it's amazing and tells the story well using voices to alternate points of view and time hopping.

What did you like best about this story?

Where to begin? The maddening love, the gothic atmosphere, the moors, the language used. It's perfection. I've always been more of a Heathcliff fan than any other literary man

Please record Tom Hardy reading it, he was a perfect Heathcliff in the 2009 miniseries.
