Sturmhöhe

Cathy Earnshaw and her stepbrother, the foundling Heathcliff, are unconditionally devoted to each other, both equally wild and uncompromising. When their friendship turns into love, a tragedy of life and death begins. Cathy marries the son of wealthy neighbors, and Heathcliff leaves the area in humiliation. Three years later, he returns as a rich man and tries to win Cathy back; their old love reignites. Wolfgang Schlüter has given this classic of English literature a fascinating form with his new translation: menacing, passionate, and expressive.
