Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights is a Gothic masterpiece following the destructive passion between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw across two generations on the Yorkshire moors. Through their doomed love, Heathcliff's revenge, and the cycle of cruelty that engulfs both families, Brontë created one of literature's most intense explorations of obsessive love. This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition with illustrations by Ruben Toledo becomes both romance and horror story, proving that Brontë understood how love can be both transcendent and destructive and that some passions are too powerful to be contained by life or death.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Brontë wrote the most passionate and disturbing love story in English literature, making Heathcliff and Catherine's bond both romantic and terrifying. This deluxe edition reminds us that Catherine's "I am Heathcliff" is literature's ultimate declaration of unity, that Heathcliff's revenge destroys everyone, and that the moors are as much a character as the people.
