Wuthering Heights

Originally published in 1847, Wuthering Heights has become one of the most important works in the English language. The moving love story of Catherine and Heathcliff became a classic by Emily Brontë, and this edition features a translation by Rachel de Queiroz.

Emily Brontë published Wuthering Heights in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell. A novel of singular lyricism, which demonstrates the author's love for the landscapes of her Yorkshire home, it is compared to Greek tragedies for its cruelty and to Shakespeare for its creative imagination. A book that has become one of the greatest works of English literature of all time and which, to this day, moves readers around the world. 

A story of intense love, curse, and hatred: the passion of orphan Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. He was adopted by Catherine's father and taken to Wuthering Heights, the family estate. The young people quickly form a strong bond, but fate conspires against their union. This was the only novel written by Emily Brontë, an unprecedented masterpiece that still moves readers around the world today.
