Wuthering Heights: A Beginner’s Reading Guide Before the Margot Robbie-Jacob Elordi Film
Few novels have stirred as much fascination, confusion, and passionate debate as Wuthering Heights . Emily Brontë’s only novel, first published in 1847, remains one of English literature’s most haunting and unconventional love stories. At the heart of the novel lies Catherine Earnshaw’s famous declaration: ‘Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.’ A line that captures the fierce, almost supernatural bond she shares with Heathcliff. With a new film adaptation reportedly bringing Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi into the stormy world of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, many new readers are preparing to step onto the wild Yorkshire moors for the first time. If you are one of them, consider this your guide to navigating a novel that is as turbulent as the winds that howl across its pages. Also read: Intimidated by James Joyce?

Celebrating Charles Dickens: His Most Unforgettable Characters and Why They Endure
Some authors give us great stories. Others give us characters who quietly move into our heads, set up furniture, and live in there rent-free. Charles Dickens absolutely belongs to the second group. His plots were rich, dramatic, but it’s his characters who linger years after the last page.

Dickens didn’t simply describe people; he let them speak, stumble, scheme, hope, complain, and love their way into our hearts. They feel less like fictional creations and more like old acquaintances we’ve known forever. And since he’s our Author of the Month, what better excuse to wander down memory lane and revisit some of the unforgettable personalities who made Dickens’ world (and ours) so lively?

Why Jules Verne Still Matters: The Classic Author Who Predicted Tomorrow
Jules Verne wrote about the future long before the future learned to exist. In the nineteenth century, when much of the world was still being mapped and understood, Verne imagined submarines gliding beneath oceans, humans travelling to the moon, and explorers pushing the boundaries of science and geography with fearless curiosity. Today, more than a century after his death, Verne remains not just a literary giant but a visionary whose works continue to shape how we imagine technology, exploration, and human ambition. His stories endure because they do something timeless: they transform wonder into possibility. Also read: London Through Charles Dickens’ Eyes: A City That Became a Character
