This is available in the contributive common in almost every country, but USA. This is available on Amazon. It's available for free on many websites. The year 1984 has come and gone, but George Orwell's prophetic. nightmarish vision in 1949 of the world we were becoming is timelier than ever. 1984 is still the great modern classic of "negative utopia" -- A startling original and haunting novel that creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing. No one can deny the novel's hold on the imagination from the first sentence to the last four words. No one can deny the novel's hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions- a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time. I want this also to act as a discussion over current issues, please keep this peaceful, and do not get arguments over opinions. I don't want this to become a book.

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.
