"Доводы рассудка" Джейн Остен - роман, не подвластный ходу времени. Поразительное по глубине, психологизму и изящному, прозрачному лиризму повествование о судьбе молодой женщины и ее нелегкой, полной неуверенности, ошибок и сомнений любви. Это произведение выдержало испытание вот уже несколькими эпохами и не утратило своего искреннего очарования. Идут годы, однако «Доводы рассудка» были и остаются золотой классикой мировой литературы и продолжают поражать воображение новых поколений читательниц...

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.
