WUTHERING HEIGHTS is perhaps the most tempestuous love story, and Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff the most star-crossed lovers, in all of English literature. Their story begins when Heathcliff, a half-starved Liverpool waif, is brought into Cathy's home by her father. The tender attachment that binds them in childhood increases over the years, and grows into a devouring passion that destroys one generation and nearly wrecks a second before exhausting itself in death. Th? tragedy of their ill-fated love is told with an intensity that borders OF .mysticism, and in the visionary scheme of the author's astounding imagination, WUTHERING HEIGHTS reaches a power of expression unique in romantic literature,
