Wuthering Heights

An illustrated version of the "brilliantly atmospheric Yorkshire saga"—the perfect introduction to the enduring classic for teenage readers (Kate Mosse, New York Times–bestselling author). Wuthering Heights is one of the world's greatest tales of unrequited love, captivating readers with its intense passion and drama since its publication in 1847. In this special collector's edition, the powerful, complex bond between Heathcliff and Catherine that unfolds in the wild, romantic landscape of the Yorkshire moors is beautifully presented in illustrated form for the first time.

"When I was 16 I read Wuthering Heights for the first time, and I read it as a kind of oracle; that life is worth nothing if it is not worth everything. Disaster does not matter, intensity does. You can dilute Wuthering Heights, as . . . musicals have done. But if you are honest, you cannot escape its central stark premise; all or nothing. The all is not Heathcliff—that is the sentimental version. The all is what Heathcliff represents, which is life itself." —Jeanette Winterson, New York Times–bestselling author "Only Emily Brontë exposes her imagination to the dark spirit." —V. S. Pritchett, author of A Cab at the Door "A dark and passionate tale of tortured but enduring love . . . Mesmerizing." —The Guardian
