Grade 8 Up-British actor Martin Shaw reads this shortened version of the classic Emily Bronte novel. His easily-understood accent is appropriate and helps to set the mood. Shaw reads at a very steady pace, pausing effectively for emphasis or when his character might be thinking. Usually calm and gentle, his voice can resonate with anger or other emotion when necessary. There is some differentiation in pitch to emphasize male vs. female speech, but it is not exaggerated or overdone. The abridgement retains Bronte's words linking speech or narration sometimes from one page to another. It provides students with an easier way to become familiar with the story and get a feel for her style. Teachers could use this presentation to introduce the novel or to entice students to read it on their own.

"Beautifully read by Patricia Routledge, who is well able to encompass the black passions, the tragedy and the lyricism of this haunting story." -- The Times
"Bronte fans can rejoice in a new, unabridged recording of Wuthering Heights read by British actress Patricia Routledge. Where do audiobook publishers find all these British actors and actresses to read the classics, anyway? They give uniformly remarkable performances and Routledge is no exception. Nelly Dean, the servant who spins the tale of Cathy Earnshaw and her soul mate Heathcliff, is perhaps Routledge's strongest voice, but Hareton and Linton and the rest of the strange inmates of Wuthering Heights also come alive in her narration." -- Sunday News, February 21, 1999
"Cover to Cover's unabridged readings of classic novels re in a class of their own." -- Sunday Telegraph
"For classic literature, check out the new "Cover to Cover" series. All are 19th and 20th century works produced in England. They are handsomely packaged in sturdy, decorative cardboard boxes. The series carries the exclusive Royal Warrant from Charles, Prince of Wales." -- The Boston Globe, January 1999
We recently purchased three of your classics series hardcovers for our 15 year old daughter's birthday, and she was estatic. The books are beautifully done, and it was nice to see that they used the original versions' formatting. We anxiously look forward to any new volumes you may add. If we might make a suggestion for a future addition to this series, please consider Treasure Island, as this would be a most welcome addition to her new collection. Thanks for producing a wonderful product. -- Russ and Beth Ouellette --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

伍尔夫在提到艾米莉·勃朗特的《呼啸山庄》时说,促使艾米莉·勃朗特创作的冲动不是她自身的痛苦和伤害,在读完《呼啸山庄》,我难于相信她这种说法。小说中那种痛彻心扉的激情,如果不是有过个人体验,凭一个人的想象力几乎是不可能达到的。 一位好心的绅士从街头引回一个...

评分2010.7.28 A strange thing happened when I was reading this book. Obviously, the writing itself was powerful and the book, a page turner. But as I was reading it, I never thought of those characters to be real. Neither could I relate to them, nor did I a...
评分在听涅磐的where did you sleep last night,爱死了这样的暗沉的歇斯底里。我想到了那个外表暗沉却有着排山倒海般深情的希斯克里夫,这首歌是不是特别适合他?多少个他辗转反侧的黑夜,他最想对着他心爱的凯瑟琳说的,应该就是这句话吧? 记得甫上大学时,刚刚摆脱了沉重学业...
评分在读到呼啸山庄的前几章的时候,我不禁感叹一声,这呼啸山庄里住着的,都是一群疯子么? 最初对《呼啸山庄》感兴趣,是在王安忆老师的《王安忆小说讲稿》上对其内容和评价的探讨。那个时候我对于名著的兴趣,也就是停留在看一看简介,也能初步了解书的内容的层面,毕竟名著这么...
