Wuthering Heights

Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition

«“It is as if Emily Brontë could tear up all that we know human beings by, and fill these unrecognizable transparencies with such a gust of life that they transcend reality.”—Virginia Woolf»

'May you not rest, as long as I am living. You said I killed you - haunt me, then'

Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before: of the intense passion between the foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and her betrayal of him. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past.

Kundevurdering:
"Wuthering Heights" er en fantastisk kjærlighetshistorie, og Emily Brontës eneste roman. Boken handler om en foreldreløs gutt, og datteren i familien som tar han til seg. Heathcliff, som gutten kalles av sin nye far, og Cathrine, datteren i huset, vokser opp sammen og får et helt spesielt forhold. Et forhold som skal styre resten av begges liv. Brontë beskriver kjærlighet og hat om hverandre, og maler et voldsomt bilde av en forsømt liten gutt, som vokser opp til å bli en bitter, hatefull mann. En klassisk kjærlighetshistorie, men likevel full av uforutsette hendelser og personskildringer. Boken er rett og slett et must, for alle oss som setter pris på historiske romaner!

Om forfatteren

Emily Jane Bronte was born July 30, 1818, at Thornton in Yorkshire, the fifth of six children of Patrick and Maria Bronte. Although Emily did spend a few short times away from Haworth, it was her primary residence and the rectory where she resided now serves as a Bronte Museum. Emily's only close friends were her brother Branwell and her sisters Charlotte and Anne. Emily died of tuberculosis on December 19, 1848, also at the age of thirty, and never knew the great success of her only novel Wuthering Heights, which was published almost exactly a year before her death.

Born in Havana, Cuba in 1961, Ruben Toledo is an illustrator, painter, sculptor and filmmaker. His fashion illustrations have appeared in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, The New Yorker, Visionaire, Paper, Interview and The New York Times, and his commissions have included Tiffany & Co., Estée Lauder and Nordstrom's national advertising campaign. Toledo and his designer wife Isabel Toledo are the subject of both a book and museum exhibition entitled Toledo/Toledo: A Marriage of Art and Fashion. Together they were recipients of the 2005 Cooper-Hewitt Design Award for their work in fashion.
