A novel of immense power, Wuthering Heights is filled with the raw beauty of the English moors and a deep compassion for the conflicting destinies of men and women. The novel begins with Lockwood, a tenant who takes up residence close to Wuthering Heights. His landlord, Mr. Heathcliff, proves to be surly, unfriendly, and rude. When Lockwood discovers a mildewed book with the names Catherine Earnshaw, Catherine Heathcliff, and Catherine Linton scratched on its cover, he begins to read, sojourning on a strange tale that proves irresistible. The heart-wrenching story he discovers about stubborn Cathy and wild-as-the-wind Heathcliff has been a favorite since its original publication in 1848.

En los sombríos páramos de Yorkshire, donde el viento silba entre los brezos y las emociones son tan intensas como el clima implacable, se desarrolla una historia de amor y venganza que desafía el tiempo. Cumbres Borrascosas nos sumerge en la trágica saga de los Earnshaw y los Linton, dos familias ligadas por el destino en una mansión embrujada por pasiones oscuras. La narrativa comienza con el misterioso regreso de Heathcliff, un joven enigmático y atormentado, a la finca de los Earnshaw, Wuthering Heights.

Wie zwei Naturgewalten lässt Emily Brontë das wütende Findelkind Heathcliff und die ungestüme Catherine aufeinander los und an der Liebe für den anderen zerbrechen. In den Seelen der Verwundeten nisten sich in der Folge wie bösartige Wucherungen Hass und Verzweiflung ein, die sich durch Generationen und das geliebte Wuthering Heights fressen. 1847 veröffentlichte Emily Brontë ihren ersten und einzigen Roman - eine Geschichte so wild und urwüchsig wie die Landschaft, in der dieses mitreißende Stück englischer Literatur spielt. Gert Westphal liest ihr unvergessenes Meisterwerk mit emotionaler Wucht.

At this time of the year, as the nights close in and the temperature drops, winter seems like a season that nobody really enjoys, and we look forward all the more to spring. For many children, however, it is the bounty of Christmas that steals their attention, and for others the renewal of the New Year. But for Nature it is a pause for breath, to take stock of what has gone by in the year to date and ready herself for the energies and dramatic development to the landscape that spring will bring.

Wuthering Heights is the sole novel of Emily Brontë, who died a year after its publication at the age of 30.

Nella solitaria e selvaggia brughiera dello Yorkshire, invidie, rancori e ossessioni trasformano la storia d'amore tra Catherine e Heathcliff in un gioco crudele e pericoloso, in una passione assoluta e divorante, destinata a non abbandonarli mai. Neppure dopo la morte. A causa dei contenuti troppo forti, del carattere distruttivo del legame tra i due protagonisti e di una costruzione non lineare, Cime tempestose dovette aspettare il Novecento per essere riconosciuto come un capolavoro della letteratura mondiale.
