Storia molto intensa, in lingua originale é molto particolare, la copertina é bellissima.

Tal y como esperaba. Es un libro precioso estéticamente y al tacto. La portada tiene textura de tela, lo que le da un toque más especial. Además tiene es olor tan agradable a libro. Recomendadísimo para regalo

I was really looking forward to this but unfortunately all the print is rubbing off. Does anyone else have this problem?? After a week, most of the print on the spine is gone.

I must admit that I went into this book completely unprepared for what hit me. I was expecting something vaguely along the lines of Jane Austen, but darker; I didn't realize just how far into the depths of sadness it would go, and it was incredible. Wuthering Heights is the story of Heathcliff, a child brought into the respectable Earnshaw family. He and Catherine, the daughter of the Earnshaw patriarch, form an immediate, permanent bond, one that will bring years of sadness into their lives when Catherine decides that she cannot abandon her station for Heathcliff, instead choosing to marry Edgar Linton, a privileged child from the neighboring Thrushcross Grange. The interesting thing is that this basic love story, for which the novel is best-known, is only the first half of the book. The second half follows the ramifications for all of the characters, as Heathcliff's cruelty reaches a fever pitch and he destroys everything with any connection to Catherine. This part, for me, was the real meat of the story. It's incredibly dark and occasionally terrifying, written in excruciating detail... but also full of a savage beauty. Heathcliff's chasing after a ghost will simultaneously make you cringe and break your heart, and that is the ultimate measure of success; Bronte created a character that manages to be sympathetic, even when you wish for nothing more but his death. It is not without flaws (I found Catherine and Heathcliff's relationship underdeveloped) but the sheer force of the story is almost dizzying, heightened by the interesting (if occasionally limiting) structure, and I would easily recommend Wuthering Heights.

Amazing! Can't wait to read this book! :) The cover looks beautiful, and the quality is great too! :D Truly a classic with an intriguing plot.
