1、初二英语读书笔记之呼啸山庄01内容简介：呼啸山庄是英国女作家勃朗特姐妹之一艾米莉勃朗特的作品。小说描写吉卜赛弃儿希斯克利夫被山庄老主人收养后，因受辱和恋爱不遂，外出致富，回来后对与其女友凯瑟琳结婚的地主林顿及其子女进行报复的故事。全篇充满强烈的反压迫、争幸福的斗争精神，又始终笼罩着离奇、紧张的浪漫气氛。它开始曾被人看做是年青女作家脱离现实的天真幻想，但结合其所描写地区激烈的阶级斗争和英国的社会现象，它不久便被评论界高度肯定，并受到读者的热烈欢迎。根据这部小说改编的影视作品至今久演不衰。作者简介：艾米莉勃朗特（1818-1848），19世纪英国小说家、诗人，英国文学史上著名的“勃朗特三姐妹”之一
