    Bab 34
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.

O Monte dos Vendavais é uma das grandes obras-primas da literatura inglesa. Único romance escrito por Emily Brontë, é a narrativa poderosa e tragicamente bela da paixão de Heathcliff e Catherine Earnshaw, de um amor tempestuoso e quase demoníaco que acabará por afectar as vidas de todos aqueles que os rodeiam como uma maldição. Adoptado em criança pelo patriarca da família Earnshaw, o senhor do Monte dos Vendavais, Heathcliff é ostracizado por Hindley, o filho legítimo, e levado a acreditar que Catherine, a irmã dele, não corresponde à intensidade dos seus sentimentos. Abandona assim o Monte dos Vendavais para regressar anos mais tarde disposto a levar a cabo a mais tenebrosa vingança. Magistral na construção da trama narrativa, na singularidade e força das personagens, na grandeza poética da sua visão, nodoso e agreste como a raiz da urze que cobre as charnecas de Yorkshire, O Monte dos Vendavais reveste-se da intemporalidade inerente à grande literatura.
