Wuthering Heights
SYNOPSIS
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 Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Catherine, forced to choose between passionate, tortured Heathcliff and gentle, well-bred Edgar Linton, surrenders 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.

REVIEWS
História de Amor Pouco Convencional
Rita
A escrita de Brontë é tão genial que consegue fazer-nos sentir empatia pela sua dor, mesmo quando repudiamos as suas ações.O maior erro de quem pega neste livro pela primeira vez é esperar uma história de amor convencional e idealizada. O Monte dos Vendavais não é um romance fofinho; é uma história sobre obsessão, vingança, destruição e aspetos mais sombrios da alma humana. Catherine e Heathcliff não têm um amor saudável — a ligação deles é quase metafísica, destrutiva e feroz.
