Main description:
Since its original publication in 1847, the tempestuous relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine has long echoed on the moors.

Obsession, vengeance, and jealousy will pour from this tangle of lovers in Emily Bronte's only published novel of unrequited love. Explore Bronte's world of crime and punishment, nature and culture, and love and loss. Complete and unabridged, Wuthering Heights is an essential collectible that is both elegant and portable.
