Wuthering Heights By Emily Bronte is a novel narrated through the diary of Mr. Lockwood as he writes down both his own experiences and the recollections of others. Desiring solitude, Lockwood has recently begun renting Thrushcross Grange, a remote house in the Yorkshire Moors of Northern England.
One day, he decides to visit Wuthering Heights, the nearby home of his new landlord, Heathcliff. At Wuthering Heights, Lockwood encounters several strange and unpleasant characters: Cathy, Heathcliff's beautiful but rude daughter-in-law; Hareton Earnshaw, an uncivilized yet prideful young man; Joseph, a surly old servant; and Heathcliff, the misanthropic owner of both Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange.
Mystified by the obvious animosity between the occupants of Wuthering Heights, Lockwood returns for a second visit but is forced to spend the night when a snowstorm hits. In the middle of the night, Lockwood is awakened by a ghostly child who calls herself Catherine Linton and begs to be let in through the window.
Utterly terrified, Lockwood wakes Heathcliff, who then proceeds to throw open the window and call out to the ghost, begging it to return. Desperate to leave this haunted house and its eerie residents, Lockwood sets off for Thrushcross Grange as soon as possible..
Edad recomendada: Adultos.
BRONTE EMILY
Emily Jane Brontë Thornton, Yorkshire, Inglaterra; 30 de julio de 1818-Haworth, Inglaterra; 19 de diciembre de 1848 fue una escritora británica. Su obra más importante es la novela Cumbres borrascosas 1847 , considerada un clásico de la literatura inglesa, que fue publicada bajo el seudónimo masculino de Ellis Bell para sortear así las dificultades que tenían las mujeres del siglo XIX en el reconocimiento de su trabajo literario. La novela, considerada inicialmente como salvaje y burda por los críticos, fue reconocida con el tiempo como la expresión más genuina, profunda y contenida del alma romántica inglesa y una de las obras más importantes de la época victoriana.
