Books by Thomas Hardy

Portrait of Thomas Hardy

Thomas Hardy stands as one of the defining voices of nineteenth‑century English literature, celebrated for his vivid portrayals of rural Wessex and his unflinching insight into human struggle. His novels, including enduring classics such as *Tess of the d'Urbervilles* and *Far from the Madding Crowd*, capture a world in transition, where tradition collides with the forces of modernity. Hardy's finely tuned prose and deep empathy for his characters reveal the complexities of fate, love, and social convention.

Beyond his fiction, Hardy's poetry cemented his reputation as a writer of remarkable emotional range and technical precision. His verse, often meditative and elegiac, mirrors the same keen observation and moral questioning that shaped his prose. Together, his works form a rich and timeless portrait of human endurance, making Hardy an essential figure for readers drawn to the beauty and melancholy of the English countryside.

    Book SynopsisLady Constantine se aburre en su finca del suroeste de Inglaterra por la ausencia de su marido, hasta que un día, en una torre de la heredad, conoce a Swithin St Cleeve, diez años más joven que ella, de posición social inferior, muy atractivo y estudiante de astronomía. Esa torre se convertirá en el centro de su romance secreto, pero enseguida el mundo exterior empezará a interponerse entre ellos. " Dos en una torre " es una arrebatadora novela de Thomas Hardy en la que las constantes de su obra (la estrechez moral de la sociedad, la desigualdad entre los sexos, la rebeldía femenina y su derecho a elegir) vuelven a estar presentes y la inmensidad del universo que Swithin recorre con su telescopio contrasta con la pequeñez y mezquindad de la vida en la tierra.

    Book SynopsisA Clothbound Classics edition of Thomas Hardy’s impassioned novel of courtship in rural life   In Thomas Hardy’s first major literary success, independent and spirited Bathsheba Everdene has come to Weatherbury to take up her position as a farmer on the largest estate in the area. Her bold presence draws three very different suitors: the gentleman-farmer Boldwood, the soldier-seducer Sergeant Troy, and the devoted shepherd Gabriel Oak. Each, in contrasting ways, unsettles her decisions and complicates her life, and tragedy ensues, threatening the stability of the whole community. One of his first works set in the semi-fictional region of Wessex, Hardy’s novel of swift passion and slow courtship is imbued with his evocative descriptions of rural life and landscapes, and with unflinching honesty about sexual relationships. This edition, based on Hardy’s original 1874 manuscript, is the complete novel he never saw published, and restores

    Book SynopsisOne of Thomas Hardy’s most famous novels is the story of an innocent young woman victimized by the double standards of her day.Set in the magical Wessex landscape so familiar from Hardy’s early work, Tess of the d’Urbervilles is unique among his great novels for the intense feeling that he lavished upon his heroine, Tess, a pure woman betrayed by love. Hardy poured all of his profound empathy for both humanity and the rhythms of natural life into this story of her beauty, goodness, and tragic fate. In so doing, he created a character who, like Emma Bovary and Anna Karenina, has achieved classic stature.

This portrait of five people in an English village who are tangled in a drama of passion, betrayal, poverty, and pride of place richly demonstrates all of Hardy's distinguishing qualities—his intimacy with rural England, his feeling for nature, his frankness about physical desire, and his gift for rendering, in the most specific way, the mystery at the heart of things.This Everyman's Library edition is set from the text of the 1912 Wessex edition and includes Hardy’s map of fictional Wessex.(Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed)

    10 in stock

    Book SynopsisEtched against the background of a dying rural society, Tess of the d'Urbervilles was Thomas Hardy's 'bestseller,' and Tess Durbeyfield remains his most striking and tragic heroine. Of all the characters he created, she meant the most to him. Hopelessly torn between two men—Alec d'Urberville, a wealthy, dissolute young man who seduces her in a lonely wood, and Angel Clare, her provincial, moralistic, and unforgiving husband—Tess escapes from her vise of passion through a horrible, desperate act. 'Like the greatest characters in literature, Tess lives beyond the final pages of the book as a permanent citizen of the imagination,' said Irving Howe. 'In Tess he stakes everything on his sensuous apprehension of a young woman's life, a girl who is at once a simple milkmaid and an archetype of feminine strength. . . . Tess is that rare creature in literature: goodness made interesting.' Now Tess of the d'Urbervilles has been brought to television in a
