The heartbreaking tale of the doomed lovers Heathcliff and Catherine, Emily Bronte's gothic masterpiece, "Wuthering Heights", has enthralled readers for more than a century and a half-spawning film and televison adaptations, operas, musicals, and a hit single by British pop superstar Kate Bush. It is the ultimate story of young, unrequited love, an acknowledged favorite of "Twilight's" own star-crossed lovers Bella and Edward. Now Bronte's classic is reborn with a brilliantly conceived, gorgeously illustrated unabridged edition certain to appeal to today's readers, including the millions of avid fans of "The Twilight" saga. With more than 40 original illustrations by renowned artist Tracey Dockray - giving the story a fresh, boldly contemporary visual spin - "Wuthering Heights" is now more exhilarating and alive than ever before! "Wuthering Heights" will be directed by Andrea Arnold, who won an Academy Award for her short live action film "Wasp", in 2005. Her film "Red Road" was cited as one of the discoveries of this year's Cannes Film Festival (2006). It went on to win the Jury Prize at Cannes that year.

The story of Cathy Earnshaw and the wild Heathcliff as they fall in love on the Yorkshire moors spans three generations and is seen through the eyes of the narrators Lockwood and Nelly Dean. Emily Bronte tells of the passion between Cathy and Heathcliff with such vivid intensity that her tale of tragic love has gripped readers for over 100 years.

The Bronte family was a literary phenomenon unequalled before or since. Both Charlotte's Jane Eyre and Emily's Wuthering Heights have won lofty places in the pantheon and stirred the romantic sensibilities of generations of readers. For the first time ever, Penguin Classics unites these two enduring favorites with the lesser known but no less powerful work by their youngest sister, Anne. Drawn from Anne's own experiences as a governess, Agnes Grey offers a compelling view of Victorian chauvinism and materialism. Its inclusion makes "The Bronte Sisters" a must-have volume for anyone fascinated by this singularly talented family.

The wind is strong on the Yorkshire moors. There are few trees, and fewer houses, to block its path. There is one house, however, that does not hide from the wind. It stands out from the hill and challenges the wind to do its worst. The house is called Wuthering Heights. When Mr. Earnshaw brings a strange, small, dark child back home to Wuthering Heights, it seems he has opened his doors to trouble. He has invited in something that, like the wind, is safer kept out of the house.
