"After a moment he smiled a teasing smile. 'I still think it would be a better story if either of them had one redeeming quality.'

Perhaps the most haunting and tormented love story ever written, Wuthering Heights is the tale of the troubled orphan Heathcliff and his doomed love for Catherine Earnshaw.
Published in 1847, the year before Emily Bronte's death at the age of thirty, Wuthering Heights has proved to be one of the nineteenth century's most popular yet disturbing masterpieces. The windswept moors are the unforgettable setting of this tale of the love between the foundling Heathcliff and his wealthy benefactor's daughter, Catherine. Through Catherine's betrayal of Heathcliff and his bitter vengeance, their mythic passion haunts the next generation even after their deaths. Incorporating elements of many genres—from gothic novels and ghost stories to poetic allegory—and transcending them all, Wuthering Heights is a mystifying and powerful tour de force.

评分在重读之前我想不起《呼啸山庄》的任何好处。自然,希刺克厉夫的黑头发和黑眼睛,凯瑟琳的骄傲与疯狂,呼啸山庄的冷峻和荒凉是不能忘记的,也仅此而已——然而这差不多是小说的全部要素了。如果说托尔斯泰和福楼拜的广博使人敬服,那么这种情景剧般的简单结构便叫人惊异了。类...
评分伍尔夫在提到艾米莉·勃朗特的《呼啸山庄》时说,促使艾米莉·勃朗特创作的冲动不是她自身的痛苦和伤害,在读完《呼啸山庄》,我难于相信她这种说法。小说中那种痛彻心扉的激情,如果不是有过个人体验,凭一个人的想象力几乎是不可能达到的。 一位好心的绅士从街头引回一个...
