Orkanski visovi

Orkanski visovi

Emily Bronte

Tragična priča o opsesivnoj i razornoj ljubavi Heathcliffa i Catherine na zabačenim jorkširskim vrištinama, prožeta osvetom, duhovima i cikličkim prokletstvom koje pogađa dvije obitelji.

Orkanski visovi jedinji je roman engleske književnice Emily Brontë, objavljen 1847. godine pod pseudonimom Ellis Bell. Danas se smatra jednim od najvećih klasika svjetske književnosti, a u vrijeme izdavanja šokirao je viktorijansku publiku svojom sirovom strašću, mračnim tonovima i odbacivanjem konvencionalnog moralnog narativa. Radnja je smještena u vjetrovite i izolirane krajolike sjeverne Engleske, a prati složene i burne odnose između dviju obitelji – Earnshawovih s imanja Orkanski visovi (Wuthering Heights) i Lintonovih s imanja Šrebrenički lug (Thrushcross Grange). Središnji motiv romana jest silovita, gotovo demonska ljubav između Heathcliffa, pronađenog i nahočeg dječaka grube prošlosti, i Catherine Earnshaw. Kada se Catherine uda za uglađenog Edgara Lintona iz društvenih pobuda, Heathcliff nestaje, a vraća se godinama kasnije kao imućan i osvetoljubiv čovjek spreman uništiti sve koji su mu nanijeli bol. Roman je konstruiran kroz složen okvirni narativ (pripovijedanje unutar pripovijedanja) uz korištenje elemenata gotičkog romana, gotičkog horora i psihološke drame. Brontë majstorski istražuje granice između ljubavi i mržnje, civilizacije i divljaštva te života i smrti, dok duhovi prošlosti i priroda vriština ostaju trajni svjedoci ljudskih strasti.
