About this audiobook
“He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
In the winter of 1801, a man named Lockwood rents a home in Northern England. When he meets his unfriendly landlord, Heathcliff, who lives in the old nearby manor Wurthering Heights, Lockwood is curious to know why he seems so troubled. By asking his housekeeper, Lockwood finds out much more than he bargained for.
One of the most controversial and debated love stories of all times, 'Wuthering Heights' is one of those classics you just have to read. The emotional magnitude of this novel is great and far-reaching, and the writing is both provoking and seductive. 'Wuthering Heights' has been adapted for the screen several times, the complicated role of Heathcliff having been taken on by Timothy Dalton and Ralph Fiennes to name a few. To this is day, the most well-known adaptation of Emily Brontë's only novel, however, is the song by Kate Bush.

Emily Brontë (1818-1848) was an British poet and novelist. She was the second oldest of the three famous Brontë sisters, and in her short life she wrote only one novel, the classic 'Wuthering Heights' (1847).
Emily Brontë
Emily Brontë (1818-1848) was an English novelist and poet known famously for her only novel, Wuthering Heights. The work was originally published in a three-volume set alongside the work of her sister Anne. Due to the politics of the time, she and her sister were given the names Ellis and Acton Bell as pseudonyms. It wasn’t until 1850 that their real names were printed on their respective works. The initial reception of Wuthering Heights by the public was not favorable. Many readers were confused by the novel structure—they had not previously encountered a frame narrative (story-within-a-story) as unique as that of Wuthering Heights. Emily Brontë died from tuberculosis at age thirty, only a year after the publication of her landmark book. Alas, she didn’t live long enough to revel in its legacy; the book later became an iconic work of English literature.
