埃米莉所著《呼哮山庄》是文学史上最具毁灭性的爱与恨奇书，同时被列为世界十大小说名著之一。 英国作家毛姆曾评论：「这是一本丑陋的书，同时也是一本充满美感的书，它很可怕，使读者感到苦恼，却又写得那么有力，充满了激烈的感情」。 呼啸山庄的主人、乡绅恩肖先生带回一个身分不明的孩子，取名希斯克里夫，其视他如已出及关爱的态度引起长子亨德利的不满。希斯克里夫从懂事起，在他四周便充斥着歧视和嘲弄，这种情形在恩肖先生去世后更变本加厉。神秘消失几年后，希斯克里夫归来了，带着一颗忿恨的心，一步步地展开复仇的计划。昔日在四 周欺凌他的人，一个个地被卷入复仇的漩涡中，粉身碎骨。 Heathcliff comes to the brooding mansion of Wuthering Heighths as an orphan child. Cathy is the daughter of the wealthy family that takes him in. They are drawn together from the moment they meet, their love consuming, destructive, and full of desire. They cannot be together, and yet they cannot stay apart. The consequences will haunt generations. This is the chilling story of two people who experience love and all its intense complications. It is a story readers will never forget. Emily Brontë's only novel, Wuthering Heights remains one of literature's most disturbing explorations into the dark side of romantic passion. Heathcliff and Cathy believe they're destined to love each other forever, but when cruelty and snobbery separate them, their untamed emotions literally consume them. Set amid the wild and stormy Yorkshire moors, Wuthering Heights, an unpolished and devastating epic of childhood playmates who grow into soul mates, is widely regarded as the most original tale of thwarted desire and heartbreak in the English language.
