Synopsis :

La passion sauvage mène à la tragédie, l'amour étant perverti par le mariage. Mais les préoccupations des mortels sont atténuées par la présence sombre et immémoriale d'Egdon Heath, peut-être la plus belle évocation de Hardy de son paysage natal. Le texte est accompagné d'une introduction critique.

À propos de l?auteur: Thomas Hardy was born on 2 June 1840. His father was a stonemason. He was brought up near Dorchester and trained as an architect. In 1868 his work took him to St Juliot's church in Cornwall where he met his wife-to-be, Emma. His first novel, The Poor Man and the Lady, was rejected by publishers but Desperate Remedies was published in 1871 and this was rapidly followed by Under the Greenwood Tree (1872), A Pair of Blue Eyes (1873) and Far from the Madding Crowd (1874). He also wrote many other novels, poems and short stories. Tess of the D'Urbervilles was published in 1891. His final novel was Jude the Obscure (1895).
