Die Sturmhöhe

Emily Brontë

Lockwood rents an isolated house on the Yorkshire moors and learns from housekeeper Nelly Dean the intertwined history of the Earnshaw and Linton families. At its center are Heathcliff, an orphan taken into the Earnshaw home, and his fierce bond with Catherine, which collides with class, pride, humiliation, and revenge. Layered narrators reveal how these conflicts reach the next generation and resist simple moral judgment.
