Introduction and Notes by John S. Whitley, University of Sussex. Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine s father. After Mr Earnshaw s death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine s brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man.

看不懂他们为什么作是因为作为一个现代——后现代人,脸皮已经太厚。Heathcliff性格好美!描写完胜

第一次读完英文原版。真的边看边觉得艾米丽勃朗特是天才作家。我被小说的氛围感染得都不愿走出来。

勃朗特是怎样写出这样一本阴郁又癫狂的书的?这不像是爱情,更像粗劣的灵魂埋藏的执念,浮浮沉沉挣扎了一生,直到毁灭。
