Emily Brontë - Wuthering Heights
A tragic story of passion found in more conservative rural England. It begins with Catherine, the daughter of a distinguished family, and Heatcliff, a farmer adopted by that family, who go from being playmates in childhood to love. The fallout of that love impossible, preventing the social norms of the time, affect its protagonists and their descendants over several generations. Summits stormy hypnotizes and wrapped in a tangle of passion, hatred, revenge, unrequited love, heartbreak, despair ... characters revolve around a home that is no longer so at will and whim of Heatcliff, an imposing man of strong character and moved by anger and resentment towards the family, but accepted it, never considered it more that an abandoned child picked up from the streets of the city. The child grew to hate despised most. Mr Earnshaw never imagined that one child with big eyes, who offered his house, end up being the master of this and all its inhabitants, engendering a climate of fear and violence.
The novel not only has an incredible descriptive style that introduces the reader into the drama developed in an old farmhouse, but also provides an excellent analysis of human nature, mistakes, shortcomings and feelings.
