Titulo: Cumbres borrascosas (1847)
Autor: Emily Brontë
Motivo de lectura: #PopSugarReadingChallenge2023
Lectura / Relectura: Lectura
Mi edicion: Tapa dura, 400 paginas, Editorial Alma
Puntuacion: 5/5

Este es el segundo libro que leo de Emily Brontë y una vez mas resulto ser una lectura brillante.

No hay palabras para hacerle justicia al talento de Emily Brontë, como lectora ella logra cautivarme desde la primera pagina hasta el final. Emily no decepciona, te hace vivir una experiencia que trasciende las paginas, y ahi radica su magia, logra sumergirte tanto a traves del arte de sus palabras que todos los escenarios toman vida. Leer a Emily Brontë es corretear por esos campos, con el aire enredandose en tu cabello.

La construccion de los personajes es excelente, la trama es sublime. Me gustaria destacar la construccion del personaje Heathcliff, el cual siento que es el alma de esta historia. La complejidad en el trabajo de construir un personaje como el es digno de destacarse. Es un personaje con tantas capas/aristas que te da la sensacion que nunca lo conoceras en profundidad, ya que adentrarse a conocerlo a ese nivel seria como caer en las fozas de lo perverso, de una oscuridad que lo cubre todo, dicho esto considero que es un personaje brillante por el trabajo que Emily invirtio en el proceso de su creacion.

Con este segundo libro que leo note cierto patron por parte de las autoras, tanto en "Jane Eyre" como en "Cumbres borrascosas" senti que habia un pequeño gustito entre lo fantastico/sobrenatural y eso le agrega aun mas poder a la trama (o por lo menos es algo que personalmente disfruto muchisimo).

De esos libros que definitivamente merecen una lectura, una relectura y mucho mas!

Definitely my favorite of the classics I've read. This is one I can see myself reading again and again. It's such a strange book, but I've really enjoyed it both times I've encountered it.

oh my god what was so worth getting to the second half of
I’ve never had so much beef with fictional characters before
200 years on it’s still a shocking tragedy and I enjoyed the dumpster fire of the Edgar / Cathrine / Heathcliff love triangle v v v much
and yeah they really could all have done with therapy cause fucking heeeeeeell
Also, I love love love love love Ellen Dean so much, the true protagonist
