Wuthering Heights (Penguin Classics)
5 journalers for this copy...
"The saga of two Yorkshire families in the remote Pennine Hills. The book has been interpreted as an historical romance, a ghostly thriller, a psychological love-story, a religious allegory and a nature poem. It tells the tale of Heathcliff's and Cathy's ungovernable love and suffering, and the havoc that their passion wreaks on the families of the Earnshaws and the Lintons.This is the author's only novel." (adlibris.se)
I love this book! The people in it, the mystery, the love stories - bittersweet love that endures everything and reaches beyond the grave...
# 902 "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die"

After having read the novel years ago in German I really enjoyed reading the book in the original language.
The love story beetween Heathcliff and Catherine is from the beginning determined to end tragic, but in the second generation this family drama comes to a good ending. I would have prefered though to let Heathcliff himself have a chance to develop. Unbelievable how easily people die in this novel for the reason of broken hearts!
It is written very well- even though I had some problems understandig Joseph. And it also showes a sense of humor, namely connected with the character of Lockwood, that one would not expect in such a tragic story.
Thank you, Panzeranzi, I hope the book will find a new interested reader!

Gehört zum Gründungsinventar der ersten Regensburger OBCZ im Caffe Letterario.
Beim gestrigen Eröffnungs-meet-up entdeckte ich dieses Buch im Regal und musste gleich zugreifen! Ich wollte es schon lange einmal lesen, weil mir Jane Eyre so gut gefiel und Bücher wie die von Emily Bronte einfach zeitlos schön sind.
ooops, I should write a translation for Panzeranzi: I found this book yesterday on the brandnew shelf of the new OBCZ in Regensburg during the very first meet-up there. Since I liked Jane Eyre so much, I wanted to read more of Emily Bronte, who's books are timeless and very well written.
Greetings from Germany!

I've taken it from the box beacause it's on the top of my reading list. I hope I will understand it (I tried to read it in a German translation a few years ago and it didn't work at all, but maybe now when I'm older ;-)
