Techprincess (Italy) recommends classics to read during the summer months such as
Cime tempestose di Emily Brontë
Cime Tempestose è un classico della letteratura di Emily Brontë, che racconta la storia di un amore distruttivo, quello di Heathcliff per la sorellastra Catherine. Un romanzo brutale, dove domina la violenza fisica ma soprattutto morale. A narrare la vicenda è il signor Lockwood, che quarant’anni più tardi si ritrova a passare la notte nella tenuta “Cime Tempestose”, e incuriosito dalla presenza di strani personaggi, chiede spiegazioni all’anziana governante Nelly Dean. Il racconto della donna comincia dal giorno in cui il signor Earnshaw porta a casa da una sua visita a Liverpool un orfano dalla pelle scura: Heathcliff. Il ragazzo si lega profondamente a Catherine, figlia del signor Earnshaw, ma le differenze sociali finiscono con il separarli, anche se la loro amicizia si è ormai trasformata in amore. Catherine sposa il ricco e gentile Edgar Linton, pur amando disperatamente Heathcliff, e quando questi viene a conoscenza del matrimonio, furibondo, giura vendetta. La sua passione è così violenta da indurlo alla distruzione degli Earnshaw e dei Linton. Su Amazon Prime Video trovate anche il riadattamento cinematografico di questo capolavoro.

The Middletown Press also has a recommendation:
For readers looking for more twists on classic stories, consider reading Rachel Hawkin’s modern take on “Jane Eyre” in “The Wife Upstairs.” (TinaMarie Craven)
Mariskal Rock (Spain) interviews British singer/songwriter Billie Marten and asks her about her Yorkshire origins.
Procedes de un lugar tan místico como Yorkshire, un sitio que algunos únicamente conocemos por aquellas descripciones evocadoras de Emily Brontë en ‘Cumbres Borrascosas’. ¿Ha afectado eso de alguna manera a tus canciones?
“Oh, adoro como lo has explicado (risas). Es una zona no demasiado poblada, con gente sencilla que confía en la naturaleza todo el tiempo, por eso la mayoría viven en granjas y gran parte de su actividad se basa en la agricultura. En este contexto, es normal que la naturaleza sea tan relevante para mí, en lo musical, eso sí, tampoco había demasiado movimiento por allí, por lo que tuve que encontrarme a mí misma”. (Alfredo Villaescusa) (Translation)
Financial Times features Northern Ballet’s artistic director David Nixon, who has announced he will be stepping down at the end of this year:
Nixon was certainly prolific — 13 ballets in 20 years — but he also strove to find and promote young choreographers. Cathy Marston has made three works for him: A Tale of Two Cities, Jane Eyre and Victoria, 2019’s ballet biography of the Queen and Empress. (Louise Levene)
Business Up North announces a new initiative:
Freshwalks, the outdoor networking and workplace wellbeing business, has announced a collaboration with Huddersfield-based Tink Adventures to offer a regular programme of walks for the West Yorkshire business community, building on its success in other regions.
The first will take place on Friday 18 June and is a 17km hike around Malham Tarn and Malham Cove, near Skipton. This will be followed, on 23 July, by a 13km walk beginning in Haworth, which will take in the Brontë waterfalls, Lower Laith Reservoir and a section of the Pennine Way. (Stuart Anderson)
