The wind is strong on the Yorkshire moors. There are few trees, and fewer houses, to block its path. There is one house, however, that does not hide from the wind. It stands out from the hill and challenges the wind to do its worst. The house is called Wuthering Heights. When Mr Earnshaw brings a strange, small, dark child back home to Wuthering Heights, it seems he has opened his doors to trouble. He has invited in something that, like the wind, is safer kept out of the house.

"Be on your guard … and take care not to fall in love!" In a charming German village, Werther, a sensitive and romantic young man, meets Lotte and falls deeply in love with her. Despite knowing she is engaged to Albert, Werther's passion for Lotte consumes him, leading to profound despair. This groundbreaking ‘confessional’ novel draws from Goethe’s own unrequited love for Charlotte Buff and the death of his friend Karl Wilhelm Jerusalem. It achieved immediate success, sparking a cult following, numerous imitations, and even criticism for its perceived endorsement of suicide. Goethe's poignant exploration of a young artist struggling against societal norms and his inability to navigate life is regarded as the first significant tragic novel in European literature. This edition features notes and an introduction by Michael Hulse, who delves into the novel's origins in Goethe's life and its influence on European culture.
