Wuthering Heights (平裝) pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025

Grade 8 Up-British actor Martin Shaw reads this shortened version of the classic Emily Bronte novel. His easily-understood accent is appropriate and helps to set the mood. Shaw reads at a very steady pace, pausing effectively for emphasis or when his character might be thinking. Usually calm and gentle, his voice can resonate with anger or other emotion when necessary. There is some differentiation in pitch to emphasize male vs. female speech, but it is not exaggerated or overdone. The abridgement retains Bronte's words linking speech or narration sometimes from one page to another. It provides students with an easier way to become familiar with the story and get a feel for her style. Teachers could use this presentation to introduce the novel or to entice students to read it on their own.

"Beautifully read by Patricia Routledge, who is well able to encompass the black passions, the tragedy and the lyricism of this haunting story." -- The Times

"Bronte fans can rejoice in a new, unabridged recording of Wuthering Heights read by British actress Patricia Routledge. Where do audiobook publishers find all these British actors and actresses to read the classics, anyway? They give uniformly remarkable performances and Routledge is no exception. Nelly Dean, the servant who spins the tale of Cathy Earnshaw and her soul mate Heathcliff, is perhaps Routledge's strongest voice, but Hareton and Linton and the rest of the strange inmates of Wuthering Heights also come alive in her narration." -- Sunday News, February 21, 1999

"Cover to Cover's unabridged readings of classic novels re in a class of their own." -- Sunday Telegraph

"For classic literature, check out the new "Cover to Cover" series. All are 19th and 20th century works produced in England. They are handsomely packaged in sturdy, decorative cardboard boxes. The series carries the exclusive Royal Warrant from Charles, Prince of Wales." -- The Boston Globe, January 1999

We recently purchased three of your classics series hardcovers for our 15 year old daughter's birthday, and she was estatic. The books are beautifully done, and it was nice to see that they used the original versions' formatting. We anxiously look forward to any new volumes you may add. If we might make a suggestion for a future addition to this series, please consider Treasure Island, as this would be a most welcome addition to her new collection. Thanks for producing a wonderful product. -- Russ and Beth Ouellette --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
