Sameless pimping my new community dedicating to the amazing novel "Wuthering Heights" and its various adaptations. I searched lj and I couldn't find a decent community dedicated to "Wuthering Heights" so I decided to create one. I hope that you'll join, support and participate to this new community. There is an upcoming movie too....

Cold Mountain is a Character


Though it may seem absurd to list the setting as a character, the mountains are a primary force in the novel. The other characters interact with the land and are influenced in their feelings and actions by the land as much as they are by any other character. This is particularly true for Inman who was moving away from not only the war, but also the landscape that he considered vile, and moving toward not only Ada, but also the mountains he considered home. 


Cold Mountain, itself, a place which becomes more than a place, becomes a goal,, stands in for a time and a way of life which has been lost.

Anthony Minghella says, ‘’What struck me profoundly was the Chinese epigraph at the opening of the book. ‘Men ask the way to Cold Mountain. Cold Mountain: there’s no easy route.’ My wife is Chinese and I’m intrigued by Chinese literature. She told me that in Buddhist poetry Cold Mountain is a spiritual destination. It’s nirvana.’’
