Synopsis "Wuthering Heights "

One of English literature's classic masterpieces--a gripping novel of love, propriety, and tragedy. Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read Emily Brontë's only novel endures as a work of tremendous and far-reaching influence. The Penguin Classics edition is the definitive version of the text, edited with an introduction by Pauline Nestor. Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, situated on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before. What unfolds is the tale of the intense love between the gypsy foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Catherine, forced to choose between passionate, tortured Heathcliff and gentle, well-bred Edgar Linton, surrendered to the expectations of her class. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance at his betrayal is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past. In this edition, a new preface by Lucasta Miller, author of The Brontë Myth, looks at the ways in which the novel has been interpreted, from Charlotte Brontë onwards. This complements Pauline Nestor's introduction, which discusses changing critical receptions of the novel, as well as Emily Brontë's influences and background.

Emily Brontë led her brief life (1818-1848) discreetly and in accordance with the conventions of her time. Wuthering Heights, her only and splendid narrative work, was born as the product of a common purpose, agreed with her two sisters -Charlotte and Anne-, to write one novel each.

Llegó en muy buenas condiciones, las esquinas perfectas. Lo único que me extraña es que las páginas sean de color distinto que las de Penguin Clásicos en español, y también es un poco más grande, diría que unos milímetros extra de ancho y largo. Fuera de eso todo super!

Me encanta este libro, aunque lamentablemente algunas páginas estaban manchadas, de resto todo muy bien y en el tiempo esperado, muy recomendado si buscas una historia que te deje enganchado!
