Cime tempestose

by Emily Brontë, Anna Luisa Zazo (Translator)

Overview

Heathcliff: orfanello adottato per pietà dalla famiglia di Catherine, caro amico d'infanzia, ragazzo ribelle e affascinante, spirito libero e pericoloso che ignora le convenzioni della rigida morale ottocentesca. Edgar: bello, ricco, amabile, innamorato di Catherine, tenacemente deciso a renderla la più felice delle spose. A due uomini così diversi è legato il destino della dolce Cathy, divisa tra una passione divorante e un amore romantico, sullo sfondo delle selvagge brughiere inglesi. Il racconto di un legame capace di sopravvivere alla morte, un romanzo di potenti emozioni che lascia senza respiro.

About the Author

Emily Brontë was born in 1818, the daughter of a curate. She was the most enigmatic of the three famous novelist sisters. Losing her mother very early in her life and following her elder sister Charlotte to school, she found life away from the Haworth parsonage extremely hard. Her time as a teacher at Law Hill School near Halifax was similarly trying. Homesickness drew her back to the moors and the life of a reclusive author. It was there, in 1848, that she died of tuberculosis just months after her brother Branwell. Few of her papers survive and her reputation is based on a few surviving poems and one novel, Wuthering Heights.
