Emily Brontë

Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. A foundling son. A forbidden love. A coveted inheritance. Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff are wrong for each other in every way, yet inexplicably drawn together by a force stronger than themselves. Their love is passionate, dark, obsessive … and a threat to Catherine’s brother Hindley, who banishes Heathcliff, determined to make sure Wuthering Heights is his after their father’s death. But when Heathcliff returns with money and a burning desire for both Catherine and revenge, his only goal is to take what’s his and bring retribution to all involved. Told from the perspective of Lockwood at Thrushcross Grange on the desolate and stark Yorkshire Moors years after the events at Wuthering Heights, this English literature classic explores the relationship between love, revenge and desire, and the long-lasting effects on its residents’ heirs.

Pán Lockwood, nový nájomník usadlosti Drozdovo, nachádza v nehostinných vresoviskách yorkshirského panstva pokoj od ruchu spoločnosti. Jednej noci je nútený vyhľadať prístrešok v neďalekom sídle Búrlivé výšiny. Tam sa dozvedá o dramatických udalostiach z minulosti, o vášnivom vzťahu siroty Heathcliffa a Catherine Earnshawovej, dcéry pána domu, ktorá pred láskou uprednostnila spoločenské očakávania. Zatrpknutý Heathcliff je po zrade odhodlaný pomstiť sa nasledujúcej generácii a prinútiť nevinných dedičov čeliť osudnej minulosti.

The greatest tragic love story ever told – but this time, Catherine tells it herself. In Catherine, Essie Fox breathes new life into Wuthering Heights, transforming a gothic masterpiece into a haunting confession of obsession, madness and love that even death cannot end. With a nature as wild as the moors she loves to roam, Catherine Earnshaw grows up alongside Heathcliff, a foundling her father rescued from the streets of Liverpool. Their fierce, untamed bond deepens as they grow – until Mr Earnshaw’s death leaves Hindley, Catherine’s brutal brother, in control and Heathcliff reduced to servitude. Desperate to protect him, Catherine turns to Edgar Linton, the handsome heir to Thrushcross Grange. She believes his wealth might free Heathcliff from cruelty – but her choice is fatally misunderstood, and their lives spiral into a storm of passion, jealousy and revenge. Now, eighteen years later, Catherine rises from her grave to tell her story – and seek redemption. Essie Fox’s Catherine reimagines Wuthering Heights with beauty and intensity – a haunting, atmospheric retelling that brings new life to a timeless classic and lays bare the dark heart of an immortal love.

„Abban a pillanatban, hogy lehunytam a szemem, ő ott volt; vagy az ablakon kívül, vagy széttolta a fatáblákat, vagy belépett a szobába, vagy éppenséggel ott nyugtatta drága fejét ugyanazon a párnán, amelyen gyermekkorában; s nekem fel kellett nyitnom a szememet, hogy meglássam. Éjjelente százszor is kinyitottam és behunytam a szemem, és csalódás ért századszorra is! A kínok kínját kellett kiállnom.”

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine’s father. After Mr Earnshaw’s death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine’s brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature. This edition includes an afterword by Dr Sally Minogue.

Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, situated on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before. What unfolds is the tale of the intense love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Catherine, forced to choose between passionate, tortured Heathcliff and gentle, well-bred Edgar Linton, surrenders to the expectations of her class. As Heathcliff’s bitterness and vengeance at his betrayal are visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past.

When Heathcliff, a poor young boy, is adopted into wealthy Catherine Earnshaw's family, he and Catherine form a bond that progresses from childhood friendship to teenage passion. Because of Heathcliff's lowly social status, however, Catherine decides she cannot marry him, and instead marries the gentleman Edgar Linton. This sets in motion a chain of events that ravages both the Linton and Earnshaw families with jealousy, revenge, and bitterness, leaving only the ghosts of Catherine and Heathcliff to haunt the moors.

Harmincéves sem volt még Emily, a középső Brontë nővér, amikor - egy esztendővel a halála előtt - megírta ezt a regényt, a világirodalom egyik legkülönösebb szerelmi történetét, mely romantikus meseszövése dacára talán az első modern angol regény is. A mű Anne, a fiatalabb Brontë húg Agnes Grey című kötetével egy időben, és a Charlotte tehetségét dicsérő Jane Eyre előtt alig néhány hónappal jelent meg. Szerelem, gyűlölet, bosszú. Így summázható Catherine és Heathcliff sírig - s talán azon túl is - tartó szenvedélyes kapcsolata. A lány apja befogadja az árva fiút, akit Catherine fivére, Hindley kezdettől fogva megvet és cselédként kezel. Az apa idővel meghal, s noha az öntörvényű lelenc és a lány között az évek során szerelem szövődik, Catherine mégis az elegáns és udvarias Edgar Linton felesége lesz. Heathcliff így minden szeretetből kiszorul, ezért egy viharos éjjelen elszökik. Évekig nem is hallani felőle, ám amikor visszatér, eltökélt szándéka, hogy méltó bosszút áll az elszenvedettekért, és sötét szándékainak olthatatlan szerelme sem vethet gátat...
