Samenvatting:

HarperCollins is proud to present a range of best-loved, essential classics.

Is Mr Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And if not, is he a devil?

Heathcliff, an orphan, wild and unkempt, is taken in by Mr Earnshaw and raised as his son at Wuthering Heights on the bleak Yorkshire moors. He is drawn to Earnshaw’s daughter Catherine, and as the pair grow up together they become bound by an intense and passionate love. When Catherine’s father dies and Heathcliff is condemned to servitude, the difference in their social stations drives a wedge between them that will eventually become their downfall.

A story of all-consuming love, obsession and revenge, Wuthering Heights is one of the most unique and emotive Gothic novels, and is considered Emily Brontë’s masterpiece.
