Wuthering Heights

Emily Bronte stunned the world in 1847 with her wild and psychologically penetrating mix of romance and gothic tragedy. The book was called powerful, mad, monstrous, and genius at the time - and has lost none of its vibrancy in the 21st century. Wuthering Heights recounts the story of two families, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and their strange and intertwining fates. At the fulcrum of the story are Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a man of unclear origins adopted into the Earnshaw family. Between the stormy lines of Wuthering Heights we can also read meditations on topics such as the class society and the impacts of domestic abuse, lending deeper levels of meaning to the novel. Our edition features a section on Emily Bronte and her life, including her sister Charlotte''s words on Emily''s character and literary accomplishments, written in 1850 shortly after Emily had passed away. The book comes in 170x240mm format with hard cover in dark blue cloth, debossed, serigraphic and foil details, designed by Anna-Mari Tenhunen in Helsinki.
