Wuthering Heights is the only novel by the English writer Emily Brontë, published in 1847. It is a dark and passionate story of love and revenge, unfolding across the heather-covered moors of Yorkshire. The novel recounts the complex relationships between the Earnshaw and Linton families, centered around Heathcliff—a foundling raised by the Earnshaws, who transforms into a cruel avenger after the betrayal of his beloved Catherine. The work is considered a classic of English literature and one of the greatest novels of all time.
