Wuthering Heights (1847) by Emily Brontë recounts the life story of Heathcliff from his childhood to his death in his late thirties. He is an orphan, found on the streets of Liverpool and taken by Mr. Earnshaw to Wuthering Heights, where he is reluctantly cared for by the family. After Mr. Earnshaw death, Hindley claims his place as master of Wuthering Heights and makes life miserable for Heathcliff, his adopted brother, by treating him like a servant. Heathcliff and Catherine fall in love, but she decides to marry Edgar causing Heathcliff to run away. He returns later, affluent and educated, acquires Wuthering Heights, and sets about gaining his revenge on the people that he believed ruined his life. "Emily Brontë, author of the greatest psychological novel ever written, with the most complex character ever conceived. Read "Wuthering Heights" when you're 18 and you think Heathcliff is a romantic hero; when you're 30, he's a monster; at 50 you see he's just human." - Alice Hoffman in her 2014 "By the Book" interview with The New York Times
Autorenporträt
Emily Brontë was born in 1818 and grew up in a small mill town on the edge of the Yorkshire moors. After the death of their mother in 1821, Emily and her siblings were raised by their father, a country parson, and their maternal aunt. They were classically educated and enjoyed creating intricate fantasy worlds and writing poems and stories about them throughout their childhood. Her sisters Anne and Charlotte Brontë also grew up to be accomplished authors. Emily is also known for her brilliant poetry, and her only novel was Wuthering Heights, first published under the pseudonym Ellis Bell in 1847. She died the following year of tuberculosis, not knowing her work was destined to become one of the most popular and highly respected novels of all time.
