Bel Ami: La traducción del título en inglés es bastante elocuente: Historia de un sinvergüenza. George Duroy está dispuesto, caiga quien caiga y le cueste lo que le cueste, a ser alguien importante. En su concepto de moralidad, cualquier medio es aceptable para conseguir el fin propuesto. Las convenciones sociales no están hechas para él.

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.

Wuthering Heights follows the tumultuous lives of Catherine and Heathcliff, two young playmates who become soul mates. While Catherine's wild childish capriciousness develops, Heathcliff "exemplifies the effects which a life of continued injustice and hard usage may produce on a naturally perverse, vindictive, and inexorable disposition".

Extraviado en una tormenta en un rocoso páramo inglés, un amable viajero llamado Lockwood queda fascinado con la historia que le narra Nelly acerca de Cumbres Borrascosas, una lóbrega mansión cercana. Mientras el viento ruge en el exterior, el fatigado visitante escucha la triste historia de Heathcliff, un criado, y su inocente amor por Cathy, un espíritu libre que nunca llegó a hacer realidad su fiera pasión por él, porque cuando Heathcliff volvió en su busca después de mucho tiempo intentando hacer fortuna, se encontró a Cathy ya casada con un joven de la alta sociedad.

Released in our ‘Young Adult Classics’ format, Emily Brontë’s classic story of passion and enduring love is a masterpiece of the gothic genre. Menacing, mysterious Heathcliff and willful, beautiful Cathy are two of the best-known characters in all of English literature. Freda Dowie gives a compelling reading of a novel as bleak and elemental as the moors upon which it is set.

Emily Bronte's gothic love story of the undying love between Cathy and Heathcliff set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire Moors. Few would like to have either as a best friend perhaps, but most would wish to be loved as they loved one another. "I cannot live without my life; I cannot die without my soul," is one of the many unforgettable lines of this timeless story.

When Mr. Earnshaw brings a black-haired foundling child into his home on the Yorkshire moors, he little imagines the dramatic events which will follow. The passionate relationship between Cathy Earnshaw and the foundling, Heathcliff, is a story of love, hate, pity and retribution, the effects of which reverberate throughout the succeeding generations....

Cuando el padre muere, Hindley obliga a Heathcliff a trabajar como peón del establo, y este acepta todo tipo de humillaciones por estar cerca de su amada.

Las borrascas del titulo no solo se presentan en la desolada naturaleza donde se desarrolla la accion sino en las almas de los personajes, una serie de seres humanos frustrados entre los que se destaca el amargado Heathcliff, que vive para la venganza por haber sido menospreciado, debido a sus orígenes humildes.

Stormfulde Højder er en vild, lidenskabelig fortælling om den intense, nærmest dæmoniske kærlighed mellem Catherine Earnshaw og hittebarnet Heathcliff. I dette litterære mesterværk er selvbedrag fatalt, hævnen bitter og kærligheden, der overskrider autoritet, konvention og død, destruktiv.

Wuthering Heights, Emily Brontë's only novel, was first published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, and a posthumous second edition was edited by her sister Charlotte. The name of the novel comes from the Yorkshire manor on the moors on which the story centers. The story tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them.

The role of Fathers has changed much over the course of centuries. Men are now better suited to a role of co-parent in this modern age rather than the stilted, slightly aloof figure of times past. Being a Father is, of course, both a blessing and a burden. This modern day parenting in a frenetic fast changing world has to be both learnt and adapted from some inner well of memory from generations past as well as on the job experience.

Perhaps England’s greatest literary family. To find one brilliant novelist in a family is extremely rare. But two? Three?

The Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Emily Jane and Anne, together with their brother Patrick, are famed throughout the world. And amongst their many talents was poetry. Of course, being Brontë’s, they were rather good at that too.

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.

In the small village of Haworth in Yorkshire, the Bronte family created novels and poems that are still admired to this day around the world. The middle of the three Bronte sisters, Emily Jane was born on 30th July 1818. The author of Wuthering Heights, she was also a very talented poet, as witnessed here in this collection.

Although Wuthering Heights is now a classic of English literature, contemporaneous reviews were deeply polarised; it was controversial because of its unusually stark depiction of mental and physical cruelty, and it challenged Victorian ideas about religion, morality, class, and woman's place in society.

Klasické dílo anglické literatury. Autorka mistrně vystihla nejtemnější zákoutí lidské duše, zlobu a záludnost. Jeden z nejtemnějších a nejsmutnějších příběhů světové literatury. Ponurost větrných vřesovišť jako by podněcovala pana Heathcliffa k splácení všech skutečných i domnělých křivd, jež se mu v životě přihodily. Pln nenávisti, smutku, lásky i bolesti, zlý i hluboce nešťastný myslí jen na jedno – na pomstu. Autorka sugestivně líčí prostředí, v němž vyrůstal, i příčiny, proč z vnímavého chlapce vyrostl uzavřený záludný člověk, který zasvětil život pomstě.
