Discover anew the dramatic world of Wuthering Heights. The Earnshaw
family estate of Wuthering Heights lies in the rough moorland of West
Yorkshire; it is here that orphan boy Heathcliff finds a permanent home
with Mr. Earnshaw, his son Hindley, and his daughter Catherine. While
Hindley torments his new brother, Catherine welcomes him into the
family, and the two become inseparable. After Mr. Earnshaw's death,
however, Heathcliff becomes an outcast and Hindley squanders his
inheritance. Catherine feels compelled to marry the wealthy neighbor,
Edgar Linton, instead of her true love. Heathcliff is crushed, vowing to
seek revenge on both families. Torn by his conflicting passions,
Heathcliff risks everything for love, and neither time nor space--not
even death--will stop him.
