Sturmhöhe

A storm rages over the moors of Yorkshire, and the new tenant, Mr. Lockwood, must spend the night at Wuthering Heights, the mysterious estate of his landlord Heathcliff. Here, he learns the story of his dark host: as an orphan taken in by the Earnshaw family, Heathcliff feels a deep connection to his stepsister Catherine. However, the young Catherine marries the respected neighbor Edgar Linton. Deeply hurt, Heathcliff vows revenge—a revenge that will span many years and generations. Emily Brontë's only novel, which has been adapted into film multiple times, is considered a classic of world literature. It is a passionate tale of love and revenge set against the harsh landscape of the English Yorkshire—a region as stormy as the emotions of the two main characters. Includes a concise biography of the author.
