Yes, as my swift days near their goal,’Tis all that I implore;In life and death, a chainless soul,With courage to endure. In this new selection of Emily Brontë’s heart-rending poems, we uncover a soul unafraid to confront mortality, tragedy and the wild cruelty – and beauty – of nature. These verses capture her profound passion and indomitable spirit, plumbing the depths of the human heart and revealing the raw power of Brontë’s poetic genius.

Cathy's life is changed forever when her father brings home an abandoned child he names Heathcliff. As Cathy and Heathcliff grow up, their love for each other is as wild as the moors. But, can love overcome jealousy? Can forgiveness enter hearts filled with pain and suffering?

Na statek jménem Drozdov přijíždí z Londýna, aby tu užil klidného života v ústraní, pan Lockwood a záhy se seznamuje s obyvateli nedaleké usedlosti: ponurého, osamělého místa zvaného Větrná hůrka. Jeho majitel, temný a prchlivý Heatcliff, tu žije ve společnosti dvou mladých lidí Katky a Haretona. Z vyprávění své služebné Nelly se pan Lockwood postupně dozvídá o dramatické historii obyvatel Větrné hůrky a lásce mezi Katčinou matkou Kateřinou a Heatcliffem. Jejich příběh, odehrávající se v nehostinné krajině yorkshirských vřesovišť, není pouhým romantickým setkáním dvou milujících lidí, ale především vášnivým vztahem dvou nespoutaných, komplikovaných osobností, jejichž vztah poznamená nerovné postavení, ctižádost, ale i touha po pomstě. Tento román je jediným dílem spisovatelky Emily Brontëové, a když byl v roce 1847 pod pseudonymem Ellis Bell vydán, nevzbudil žádný mimořádný ohlas, snad kvůli své nezvyklé a složité kompozici nebo možná nejednoznačností povah jeho hlavních hrdinů. Postupně si k němu ale čtenáři našli cestu a stal se jedním z vrcholných děl anglické literatury.

Bronte's Wuthering Heights and The Complete Poems are available in Penguin Classics

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'Is Mr. Heathcliff a man? If so, is he mad? And if not, is he a devil?' Set on the bleak moors of Yorkshire, Lockwood is forced to seek shelter at Wuthering Heights, the home of his new landlord, Heathcliff. The intense and wildly passionate Heathcliff tells the story of his life, his all-consuming love for Catherine Earnshaw and the doomed outcome of that relationship, leading to his revenge. Poetic, complex and grand in its scope, Emily Brontë's masterpiece is considered one of the most unique gothic novels of its time.

The poems of Emily Jane Bronte are passionate and powerful works that convey the vitality of the human spirit and of the natural world. Only twenty-one of her poems were published during her lifetime - this volume contains those and all others attributed to her. Many poems describe the mythic country of Gondal and its citizens that she imagined with Anne, and remain the only surviving record of their joint creation. Other visionary works, including 'Remembrance' and 'No coward soul is mine', boldly confront mortality and anticipate life after death. And poems such as 'Redbreast early in the morning' and 'The blue bell is the sweetest flower' evoke the wild beauties of nature she observed on the Yorkshire moors, while also examining the state of her psyche.

Jedná se o set samostatných knih, nikoliv o balení v dárkovém či kartonovém boxu. Nestárnoucí klasika od skvělých spisovatelek jakými byly Jane Austenová a Emily Brontëová. Set obsahuje knihy: Rozum a cit, Pýcha a předsudek a Na Větrné hůrce.
