El libro que ha inspirado una adaptación próximamente en cines, con las actuaciónes de Margot Robbie y Jacob Elordi
Una de las mayores historias de amor de la literatura y quizá la mejor representante del romanticismo inglés Cumbres borrascosas, la épica historia de Catherine y Heathcliff, situada en los sombríos y desolados páramos de Yorkshire, constituye una asombrosa visión metafísica del destino, la obsesión, la pasión y la venganza. Con ella, Emily Brontë, que la publicó bajo un seudónimo masculino, rompió por completo con los cánones del decoro que la Inglaterra victoriana exigía en toda novela, tanto en el tema escogido como en la descripción de los personajes. La singularidad de su estructura narrativa y la fuerza de su lenguaje la convirtieron en una de las obras más perdurables e influyentes de la historia de la literatura. En el prefacio de la presente edición, Lucasta Miller, autora de The Brontë Myth (2001), analiza las diferentes interpretaciones que se han hecho de esta polémica obra. A su vez, la introducción de la profesora Pauline Nestor da cuenta de las influencias y los orígenes de Emily Brontë como escritora. Por último, la edición incorpora la nota biográfica y el prefacio original, escrito por Charlotte Brontë, en el que revelaba la verdadera identidad de su autora, junto a un árbol genealógico de los protagonistas de la novela. «Pero mi amor por Heathcliff es como las rocas eternas que hay debajo, un manantial de escaso deleite para la vista, pero necesario. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The book that inspired the upcoming adapted film, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi "He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." ― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontë's first and only published novel, written between October 1845 and June 1846, and published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell; Brontë died the following year, aged 30. The decision to publish came after the success of her sister Charlotte's novel, Jane Eyre. After Emily's death, Charlotte edited the manuscript of Wuthering Heights, and arranged for the edited version to be published as a posthumous second edition in 1850. Wuthering Heights is the name of the farmhouse where the story unfolds. The book's core theme is the destructive effect of jealousy and vengefulness both on the jealous or vengeful individuals and on their communities. A True Classic that Belongs on Every Bookshelf!Emily Brontë (Thornton, Yorkshire, 30 de julio de 1818 - Haworth, Yorkshire, 19 de diciembre de 1848) fue una escritora británica. Su obra más importante es la novela Cumbres Borrascosas (1847), considerada un clásico de la literatura inglesa. Emily era la quinta de seis hermanos. En 1820 la familia se trasladó a Haworth, donde su padre fue nombrado párroco (anglicano). Su madre murió el 21 de septiembre de 1821 y, en agosto de 1824, Charlotte y Emily fueron enviadas con sus hermanas mayores, María y Elizabeth, al colegio de Clergy Daughters, en Cowan Bridge (Lancashire), donde cayeron enfermas de tuberculosis. En este colegio se inspiró Charlotte Brontë para describir el siniestro colegio Lowood que aparece en su novela Jane Eyre. María y Elizabeth volvieron enfermas a Haworth y murieron de tuberculosis en 1825.
Durante su infancia y tras la muerte de su madre, las tres hermanas Brontë, Charlotte, Anne y Emily, junto a su hermano Branwell, inventaron un mundo de ficción formado por tres países imaginarios (Angria, Gondal y Glass Town) y solían jugar a inventarse historias ambientadas en él.• Author(s): Clear | James • Publisher: Penguin • Publisher Imprint: Penguin Random House • Subject: General Books
