2. Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë (both 1847)

Really, how can you pick one Brontë over the other? Who is more romantic, Heathcliff or Mr. Rochester? Whose moors are mistier, whose foggy English countryside is more moody, whose manor house is more creepy? It's a tie -- both timeless romances are not to be missed.

2. 《呼啸山庄（Wuthering Heights）》艾米丽·勃朗特著（Emily Brontë），1847

《简·爱（Jane Eyre）》夏洛蒂·勃朗特著（Charlotte Brontë ）1847

说实在的，你怎么能在两个勃朗特间作取舍呢？谁更浪漫，希斯克利夫（《呼啸山庄男主角）还是罗彻斯特先生（《简爱》男主角》）？哪部的荒野更神秘？哪部的英国乡村更伤感？谁家的庄园更可怖？它们本来就连在一起——永恒的恋情都不容错过。
