Stormfulde højder er en vild, lidenskabelig fortælling om den intense, nærmest dæmoniske kærlighed mellem Catherine Earnshaw og hittebarnet Heathcliff, der bliver adopteret af Catherines far. Efter Mr Earnshaws død bliver Heathcliff tyranniseret og ydmyget af Catherines jaloux bror Hindley, som overtager gården, og da Catherine af materialistiske årsager gifter sig med en anden, beslutter Heathcliff sig for at forlade Wuthering Heights. Da han vender tilbage tre år senere, er han både rig og dannet og har planlagt en grusom hævn for sine tidligere lidelser. Han er ikke sen til at føre sine hævnplaner ud i livet, og hans handlinger får vidtrækkende konsekvenser for både ham selv og alle omkring ham. I dette litterære mesterværk er selvbedrag fatalt, hævnen bitter og kærligheden, der overskrider autoritet, konvention og død, destruktiv."Hvordan i alverden kunne en jomfru fjernt fra verdens vrimmel overhovedet konstruere en roman som stadigvæk holder som en af verdens bedste om følelsernes irrationelle musik, vanvid og inderlighed?" – Bo Tao Michaëlis, Politiken"Heathcliff og Cathy spøger stadig som et dekret i vores kærlighedshistorier, kulturens store og de helt personlige. Derfor er de et vigtigt studie for enhver kærlighedsforsker, professionel eller privat." – Lilian Munk Rösing, Information"Det er karsk og vild læsning, som gør let om hjertet." – Kathrine Lilleør, Berlingske
"He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."In the winter of 1801, a man named Lockwood rents a home in Northern England. When he meets his unfriendly landlord, Heathcliff, who lives in the old nearby manor Wurthering Heights, Lockwood is curious to know why he seems so troubled. By asking his housekeeper, Lockwood finds out much more than he bargained for.One of the most controversial and debated love stories of all times, 'Wuthering Heights' is one of those classics you just have to read. The emotional magnitude of this novel is great and far-reaching, and the writing is both provoking and seductive. 'Wuthering Heights' has been adapted for the screen several times, the complicated role of Heathcliff having been taken on by Timothy Dalton and Ralph Fiennes to name a few. To this is day, the most well-known adaptation of Emily Brontë's only novel, however, is the song by Kate Bush.B. J. Harrison started his Classic Tales Podcast back in 2007, wanting to breathe new life into classic stories. He masterfully plays with a wide array of voices and accents and has since then produced over 500 audiobooks. Now in collaboration with SAGA Egmont, his engaging narration of these famous classics is available to readers everywhere.Emily Brontë (1818-1848) was an British poet and novelist. She was the second oldest of the three famous Brontë sisters, and in her short life she wrote only one novel, the classic 'Wuthering Heights' (1847).
This Top Five Classics illustrated edition of Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights includes the complete, unabridged text; 12 starkly beautiful woodcut illustrations by renowned artist Clare Leighton (which were the inspiration for the sets of the classic 1939 Laurence Olivier-Merle Oberon film adaptation), as well as a helpful introduction, detailed author bio, and bibliography.Wuthering Heights was released in 1847 in the shadow of the instantly successful Jane Eyre, published two months earlier by her older sister Charlotte. It enjoyed only mixed reviews--but the reactions were intense, foreshadowing the eventual stature the novel would claim in the pantheon of English literature, surpassing in many readers' eyes even her sister's magnum opus. Though Emily would not live to see it, Wuthering Heights would become synonymous with passionate gothic romance and tragic love, establishing Heathcliff and Catherine as the most poignantly doomed couple in fiction since Romeo and Juliet, but with even darker consequences for everyone involved.
When two souls collide, the impact can resonate for all eternity. So it was - and so it is - with Heathcliff and Cathy. But if they can't be together, the world that struggles to contain them will simply shatter and burn... Andrew Sheridan's gripping reinvention of Emily Brontë's classic novel Wuthering Heights is a searing and ferocious celebration of passion, of desire - and of the female imagination that created this indelible masterpiece. Exposing a very different but essentially truthful side to literature's most electric couple, it premiered at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, in 2020, in a production directed by Bryony Shanahan, joint Artistic Director of the theatre.

Den nye forpagter på Thrushcross Grange et sted i Yorkshire, mr. Lockwood, besøger engang i 1801 ejeren, en mr. Heathcliff på naboejendommen Wuthering Heights. På grund af vejret bliver mr. Lockwood - åbenbart meget mod mr. Heathcliffs vilje – nødt til at blive og overnatte på Heights. Han indlogeres på et tomt værelse, hvor han bl.a. finder en gammel dagbog fra en vis Catherine Earnshaw, og da han er faldet i søvn, har han et underligt mareridt - eller er det virkelighed? –, hvor en kvinde forsøger at komme ind gennem vinduet … Dette, sammen med den underlige stemning, der hersker mellem beboerne på Wuthering Heights, får mr. Lockwood til at undre sig over, hvad der er sket på stedet før hans ankomst, og da han fæster Ellen Dean som sin husholderske, finder han i hende én, der har været med gennem det hele, og som tilmed er en glimrende fortæller.Af hende får han historien om hittebarnet Heathcliffs og Catherine Earnshaws voldsomme og uudslukkelige kærlighed, som aldrig bliver til noget på grund af Heathcliffs herkomst og Catherines tvungne ægteskab med nabosønnen, den vege Edgar Linton. I fortvivlelse over dette drager Heathcliff bort fra egnen for flere år senere at vende tilbage som en rig og dannet mand, klar til at hævne sig på alle sine fjender - en rå og altopslugende hævn, der strækker sig over henved tyve år og ødelægger tilværelsen for alle de involverede og deres børn."Stormfulde Højder" var Emily Brontës eneste roman. Hun døde af tuberkulose i 1848, året efter dens første fremkomst. Denne udgave er baseret på den første danske oversættelse fra 1851.
