À propos de cet e-book
Thomas Hardy's 'A Mere Interlude' is a poignant novella that delves into themes of love, marriage, and societal expectations. Written in Hardy's signature style of intricate character development and detailed descriptions of rural English settings, the book transports readers to the Victorian era, where a young couple grapples with the complexities of their relationship. The novella is laced with Hardy's keen observations of human nature and his ability to explore the emotional depths of his characters. 'A Mere Interlude' is a compelling exploration of love, duty, and the sacrifices we make in the name of societal norms. Thomas Hardy, known for his portrayals of rural life in England, was influenced by his own experiences as a writer and his own struggles with societal conventions. His intimate knowledge of the human condition shines through in this captivating novella. I highly recommend 'A Mere Interlude' to readers who appreciate classic literature and are looking for a thought-provoking examination of love and marriage in Victorian England.
À propos de l'auteur
Thomas Hardy (1840–1928) stands among the most esteemed English novelists and poets of the Victorian era and the early 20th century. Born in the rural hamlet of Higher Bockhampton in Dorset, Hardy's humble beginnings were in stark contrast to the notable literary stature he would go on to achieve. He started his career apprenticed as an architect, but his passion for literature propelled him into writing full-time after the publication of 'Desperate Remedies' in 1871. Hardy's profound understanding of the human condition, intertwined with the social constraints of his times, produced novels such as 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles', 'Far from the Madding Crowd', and 'Jude the Obscure'. He exhibited an exceptional narrative style characterized by his grim view of the Victorian society and a fatalistic approach to life's struggles. The one-act play 'A Mere Interlude', although not as widely recognized as his major works, underscores his preoccupation with themes of love, honor, and betrayal. His literary contributions go beyond the novel with a rich body of poetry that further solidifies his position in the literary canon. Hardy's influence endures, resonating through his poignant portrayals of rural England and the inevitability of fate, which continue to captivate readers and scholars alike.
