Emily Bronte

A first-class "sweetheart" and an unquestionable classic - this is the generally accepted perception of the reading public and critics of the famous novel by Emily Brontë from 1847, which, with its special quality and popularity, significantly surpasses t

Wuthering Heights is a relatively early outgrowth of Victorian literature and a relatively late reflection of the so-called of the Gothic tradition, so the surroundings are somewhat "darker", but nevertheless, the almost supernatural glow of love shines through it, which, despite everything, even death, lives forever. This book, it seems, will live forever, mostly because of the intense and hitherto unconceived emotional drama that Emily Brontë described unusually powerfully and convincingly. It is interesting that the novel with such a "hurricane" dramatic charge and complex psychological characterization of the characters - first of all, the demonic nature of the main character Heathcliff, who expresses an unprecedented force of anger, rage and depravity - was written by a girl of less than thirty summers, who will end her short life just after completing his only work. Thus, the fragile health of the girl left behind an immortal book that "vampirically" comes to life every now and then through numerous new editions, adaptations, reinterpretations or quotations in film, comics, music, literature... - let's remember Bunuel's treatment in the film Abyss of Passion from 1954, or the more hyped of Kate Bush's musical "reading" in the 1978 hit Wuthering Heights, while younger readers are rediscovering her through Stephenie Meyer's hyper-popular Twilight series.
