《呼啸山庄》19世纪英国女作家艾米莉•勃朗特经典代表作，《呼啸山庄》小说出版后一直被认为是英国文学史上一部“奇特的小说”。 《呼啸山庄》一反同时代作品普遍存在的伤感主义情调，而以强烈的爱、狂暴的恨及由之而起的无情的报复，取代了低沉的伤感和忧郁。虽然刚开始时曾被人看做是年轻女作家脱离现实的天真幻想，但结合其所描写地区激烈的阶级斗争和英国的社会现象，不久后便被评论界高度肯定，并受到读者的热烈欢迎。根据这部《呼啸山庄》小说改编的影视作品至今久演不衰。 本版《呼啸山庄》为英文原版，同时提供配套英文朗读免费下载，在品读精彩故事的同时，亦能提升英语阅读水平，下载方式详见图书封底博客链接。 Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontë’s only novel. Written between October 1845 and June 1846,Wuthering Heights was published in 1847 under the pseudonym “Ellis Bell”; Brontë died the following year, aged 30. Wuthering Heights and Anne Brontë’s Agnes Grey were accepted by publisher Thomas Newby before the success of their sister Charlotte’s novel, Jane Eyre . After Emily’s death, Charlotte edited the manuscript of Wuthering Heights , and arranged for the edited version to be published as a posthumous second edition in 1850. Although Wuthering Heights is now widely regarded as a classic of English literature, contemporary reviews for the novel were deeply polarised; it was considered controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was unusually stark, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals of the day regarding religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes and gender inequality. The English poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, although an admirer of the book, referred to it as “A fiend of a book – an incredible monster [...] The action is laid in hell, – only it seems places and people have English names there.” The novel has inspired adaptations, including film, radio and television dramatisations, a musical by Bernard J. Taylor, a ballet, operas, and a 1978 song by Kate Bush.
how evil, fierce, yet breathtaking love
不明白为什么是世界名著，感觉全员扭曲，跟看短剧一样，情不知从何而起，反正一来就是极致的爱与恨。 原文版看的有点心累，尤其joseph说的话全靠猜
The book often reminds me of Van Gogh’s works in his later years. Wild and passionate love stories are just like strangely twisted lines and extremely exaggerated colors in a piece of rough canvas. The whole Wuthering Heights is a great metaphor of destructive and stifling storm repressed under the gloomy sky. The distortion of love and evil hidden in the novel seems to be dark depths of humanity. I am impressed by Lockwood, the storyteller. On the one hand, he can be considered as a special character gradually losing his objectivity. From his perspective, readers are brought into this space which was full of hostility to the outside world. Interestingly, Lockwood quickly got involved with people of Wuthering Heights when he met masters there although he appeared removed at first. On the other hand, Lockwood was trapped in Wuthering Heights. In order to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, he came to Wuthering Heights. Facing merciless reality, he chose to act like a “misanthrope” and found a place to escape. But confronting with the torture and dilemma from the bottom of our hearts, we may find nowhere to go.
最近感触最深的是，Heathcliff与Hareton宛如镜像，互相映照出人性的两级。Heathcliff年少时遭受的侮辱与欺凌如数加诸于Hareton之身，然而Hareton不仅不怨恨、反抗、报复，反而认贼作父般将Heathcliff视为自己唯一真正的父亲。 原来有人遍受折磨仍能保持同情，相较之下，我们的善良太脆弱，我们内心有太多恶意可唤醒。这种天生的好性情，在敌意与伤害中仍然保持道德完好的能力，于我是永恒的缺失，同时是永恒的欲望对象。在健全的依恋体系破碎崩溃之处，绝对权力成为唯一安全的庇护所。 人生而不同，毋需比出高低，只有当Heathcliff般将恶与恨当作存在的目的与意义时，一切天赋便也成为促使其沉沦于深渊的诅咒。
After reading this books, I feel quite confused about the whole story it tells, which is because of my not so enough knowledge and other more things. However, the story it tells has its own charm. I would not say I've comprehended all the scenes the book shows, but I kind of like it for something is completely mysterious in the atmosphere of Wuthering Heights. I wish I could read it twice another day, perhaps years later, and make a second remark on it.
凯特琳•恩肖的本性一度分裂，成为凯特琳•林顿，凯特琳•希斯科利夫，终于又复归于凯特琳•恩肖
Twice in the past I picked up Wuthering Heights, twice I put it down even before I had finished chapter 1. Now I’ve finished reading it I can say I like Bronte's writing techniques, e.g. using nature to say about something else, her use of the English language, the clever structure of the book. And I also ask why people may feel ambiguous about it. I think perhaps like me many people aren't sure what kind of story it tells. Love story? Can mutually torturing relationships be called love? Ghost story? But for what point? Social realism? The characters hardly have anything to do with anyone else outside the two houses. It reflects the caste system of the time, but is hardly a critique of it (cf. Charles Dickens). Secondly, there's so much ambiguity surrounding the characters, and none of them is even likeable. I like Nelly best, but the story is not even about Nelly. But I guess trying to understand why we don't like a particular work is also important. Especially this one — why is it even a classic?
阅读难度有点大，有点变态的书。
刚开始看的时候觉得有些drama，后来越看越抓马，这是一种什么样的爱?一生魂牵梦萦。这是一种怎么样的恨?牵连所有，甚至自己。好在结局是好的，勇敢的little Cathy和Hareton在一起了，不至于那么憋屈和痛苦。
A wonderful book which will enrich your notion of love.
