Wuthering Heights

About This Book

The book is a complete German edition, roughly equivalent to 400 pages. It has been newly edited with updated spelling while maintaining the character of the original text. Features include a linked table of contents and a family tree of the Earnshaws and Lintons, as well as a timeline of the main characters' life dates, crafted by Brontë expert Paul Thompson. This epic family narrative is comparable to works like "Gone with the Wind" or "Doctor Zhivago," exploring primal human emotions such as love, hate, pain, longing, ambition, and pride. Critics have noted Shakespearean qualities and others have likened it to Greek tragedy, making it a significant achievement by Emily Brontë (1818–1848), the most literarily important of the three gifted Brontë sisters.
