Synopsis
Wuthering Heights is the tale of two families both joined and riven by love and hate. Cathy is a beautiful and wilful young woman torn between her soft-hearted husband and Heathcliff, the passionate and resentful man who has loved her since childhood. The power of their bond creates a maelstrom of cruelty and violence which will leave one of them dead and cast a shadow over the lives of their children. Emily Brontë’s novel is a stunningly original and shocking exploration of obsessive passion
Reviews
The greatest love story ever told, Heathcliff the hero being a wild, stormy, gothic fellow who will not rest until his beloved Cathy is in his arms again, even though she died some years previously. My favourite moment comes when he bribes the sexton who buried Cathy to bury him next to her, with the sides of their coffins left open, so when they're dug up 50 years hence nobody will know which bones are his, and which are hers - Patrick McGrath
Only Emily Brontë exposes her imagination to the dark spirit - V. S. Pritchett
This brilliantly atmospheric Yorkshire saga has only one drawback - Emily never wrote another novel. For me, it is both fantastic but also true to life because the protagonists have such believably fierce emotions - Kate Mosse
Lambasted when it came out as irredeemably perverse and, I quote, as practically “French”’ - A. L. Kennedy
Hers...is the rarest of all powers. She could free life from its dependence on facts...by speaking of the moor make the wind blow and the thunder roar - Virginia Woolf
It is as if Emily Brontë could tear up all that we know human beings by, and fill these unrecognizable transparencies with such a gust of life that they transcend reality - Virginia Woolf
A dark and passionate tale of tortured but enduring love… Mesmerising - Guardian
When I was 16 I read Wuthering Heights for the first time, and I read it as a kind of oracle; that life is worth nothing if it is not worth everything. Disaster does not matter, intensity does. You can dilute Wuthering Heights, as Mills & Boon and musicals have done. But if you are honest, you cannot escape its central stark premise; all or nothing. The all is not Heathcliff - that is the sentimental version. The all is what Heathcliff represents, which is life itself - Jeanette Winterson
Commonly thought of as 'romantic', but try rereading it without being astonished by the comfortableness with which Brontë's characters subject one another to extremes of physical and psychological violence - Sarah Waters
Emily Brontë was born on 30 July 1818.Her father was curate of Haworth, Yorkshire and her mother died when she was five years old, leaving five daughters and one son. In 1824 Charlotte, Maria, Elizabeth, and Emily were sent to Cowan Bridge, a school for clergymen’s daughters, where Maria and Elizabeth both caught tuberculosis and died. The children were taught at home from this point on and together they created vivid fantasy worlds which they explored in their writing. Emily initially taught as a governess and later travelled to Belgium with Charlotte in order to undertake further study. In 1846, along with Charlotte and Anne, Emily published Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. After this Emily wrote Wuthering Heights, Anne wrote Agnes Grey and Charlotte wrote The Professor. Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey were both published but Charlotte’s novel was initially rejected although she later published Jane Eyre to great success. Emily died on 19 December 1848.
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...
评分并不觉得男女主角之爱令人震撼 还什么爱情的绝唱之类的 似乎这爱多可歌可泣 不过是一个偏激的男人偏激的爱 并没显得这爱多伟大 吸引我的不是上一代的故事 虽然他们两是当之无愧的主角,但那所谓"狂风暴雨"的爱并没那么高尚动人或者荡气回肠 这也叫荡气回肠啊 是他之...
评分从前,以为读《呼啸山庄》最好的氛围,是狂风闪电的暴雨之夜;现在忽然觉得,要在故事表层的狂野不羁中,品出最深处的宁静如水的悲凉,还是要在雪落无声的冬夜读。 呼啸山庄,其实是一个成长与背叛的故事。 成长本身,就意味着对纯美童年的背叛,和对丑陋成人世界的妥协。凯...

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...
