A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Emily Brontë's extraordinary masterpiece with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, and a silk ribbon bookmark. "May you not rest, as long as I am living. You said I killed you - haunt me, then." Wuthering Heights is the tale of two families both joined and riven by love and hate. Cathy is a beautiful and wilful young woman torn between her soft-hearted husband and Heathcliff, the passionate and resentful man who has loved her since childhood. The power of their bond creates a maelstrom of cruelty and violence that will leave one of them dead and cast a shadow over the lives of their children. Originally published in 1847, Emily Brontë's novel remains a stunningly original and shocking exploration of obsessive passion. This hardback is part of DK CLASSICS, a luxurious series of classic titles, thoughtfully crafted for collectors and fans of beautiful special editions. Each complete, unabridged book features sumptuous design and the highest quality finishes. Discover timeless classics beautifully bound for every bookshelf.

Emily Brontë was born on July 30, 1818. Her father was curate of Haworth, Yorkshire, and her mother died when she was five years old, leaving five daughters and one son. In 1824 Charlotte, Maria, Elizabeth, and Emily were sent to Cowan Bridge, a school for clergymen's daughters, where Maria and Elizabeth both caught tuberculosis and died. The children were taught at home from this point on and together they created vivid fantasy worlds which they explored by writing stories. Emily worked briefly as a teacher in 1938 but soon returned home. In 1846, Emily's poems were published alongside those of her sisters, Charlotte, and Anne, in Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell. The following year, Wuthering Heights was published. Emily Brontë died of consumption on December 19, 1848.
