Pensaba que me iba a gustar mucho más. Se me ha hecho bastante tedioso, ha habido partes entretenidas y más livianas pero en conclusión, ha sido una lectura pesada.
Una pena, porque me habían hablado muy bien de él.

The most lovely reread, followed by a book club meeting to make my heart sing

the writing was great and it definitely deserves classic status, just a lot of the book wasn’t really for me

I'd say my rating is more of a 3.5, but as I don't have that option, and as it contains one of my favorite quotes, I've upgraded the rating.
I don't recall being particularly crazy about this book when I first read it in high school. however, as an adult, I think I can appreciate the raw and violent character given to Heathcliff. It's not that I like his anger and violence, but that I am fascinated that such masculine brutality was written by a female author. I like to imagine the dark realities of the Brontë sisters shattering the fragile characters of Austin's novels.
Oh, and that favorite quote of mine?
"...he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same."

Cime tempestose è un capolavoro della letteratura inglese, un romanzo che ha saputo anticipare i tempi e sfidare le convenzioni della sua epoca. Emily Brontë ci regala una storia d’amore e di vendetta tra due personaggi indimenticabili, Heathcliff e Catherine, che si cercano e si respingono, si fanno del male e si rimpiangono, si detestano e si amano con una forza travolgente. Cime tempestose è un libro che mostra come l’amore sia una forza potente capace di elevare o distruggere le persone. L'amore può creare un legame in grado di resistere a tutte le avversità ma anche trasformarsi in violenza, follia e odio se non viene vissuto in modo sano. L’ambientazione della brughiera inglese contribuisce a rendere l’atmosfera cupa e misteriosa, in cui si intrecciano elementi realistici e sovrannaturali. Cime tempestose è un libro che non lascia indifferenti, che scuote le emozioni e fa riflettere sulle profondità dell’animo umano.
