(P/B) TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES
Εκδότης: OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3145-0792

Young Tess Durbeyfield attempts to restore her family's fortunes by claiming their connection with the aristocratic d'Urbervilles. But Alec d'Urberville is a rich wastrel who seduces her and makes her life miserable. When Tess meets Angel Clare, she is offered true love and happiness, but her past catches up with her and she faces an agonizing moral choice. Hardy's indictment of society's double standards, and his depiction of Tess as 'a pure woman', caused controversy in his day and has held the imagination of readers ever since. Hardy t...

(P/B) A PAIR OF BLUE EYES
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0138

With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex. A Pair of Blue Eyes, though early in the sequence of Hardy's novels, is lively and gripping. Its dramatic cliff-hanging episode, for example, is at once tense, ironic, feministic and erotic. With settings in Wessex and London, the novel also has some strongly autobiographical features, as the blue-eyed heroine, Elfride Swancourt, is based largely on Emma Gifford, who became Thomas Hardy's first wife. Elfride's vivacious nature attracts several lov...

(P/B) DESPERATE REMEDIES
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0087

The young Thomas Hardy, working as an architect, but fired with literary ambition, tried for years to get into print. He finally succeeded with Desperate Remedies, a 'sensation novel' in the mode of Wilkie Collins. Here was a racy specimen of the genre, replete with sudden death, dark mysteries, intriguing clues, fire and storm, flight and pursuit. Anyone who enjoys The Woman in White is likely to enjoy Desperate Remedies. But that is only half the story. Hardy contrived also, in this unlikely context, to give a first airing to various of ...

Εκδότης: ΣΤΟΧΑΣΤΗΣ
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3980-0079

Όσοι είδαν τις ταινίες "Τες" και "Μακριά από το αγριεμένο πλήθος" και μαγεύτηκαν από την υπόθεσή τους, ξέρουν καλά τί σημαίνει Τόμας Χάρντυ. Αλλά αυτοί που θα διαβάσουν τα αυθεντικά γραπτά του θα γοητευτούν περισσότερο. Ο Τόμας Χάρντυ είναι βυθισμένος ολοκληρωτικά μέσα στο σύγχρονο ανθρώπινο δράμα. Εκεί, όπου μια κακή μοίρα κυνηγάει τους ανθρώπους και τους καταστρέφει. Εκεί που ο καθένας μας συγκρούεται και αναμετράται με το πεπρωμένο του. Ριζωμένος στην αγγλική ύπαιθρο, καταφέρνει με θαυμαστό τρόπο σαν ένας σωστός παραμυθάς, σαν ένας τροβ...

(P/B) FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD
Εκδότης: PENGUIN
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-0740

"Far from the Madding Crowd" was Thomas Hardy's first major literary success, and it edited with an introduction and notes by Rosemarie Morgan and Shannon Russell in "Penguin Classics". 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, soldier-seducer Sergeant Troy and the devoted shepherd Gabriel Oak. Each, in contrasting ways, unsettles her decisions and complicates ...

(P/B) TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES
Εκδότης: ARCTURUS PUBLISHING
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 5158-0014

Thomas Hardy's beautiful and spirited heroine is driven to her tragic end by three men who betray her trust: John Durbeyfield, her drunken, feckless father; the seducer Alec d'Urberville, who leaves Tess pregnant at 16 with a son that dies in infancy; and Angel Clare, the unforgiving husband who rejects her. Abandoned in so many ways, Tess suffers all the hypocrisy and injustice of Victorian morality that Hardy himself despised. When Angel returns from abroad, humbled and hoping for reconciliation, Tess makes a fateful bid to be reunited w...

(H/B) TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES
Εκδότης: EVERYMAN΄S LIBRARY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 1669-0052

Set in the magical Wessex landscape so familiar from Thomas 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. (From the publisher)...

(P/B) LIFE'S LITTLE IRONIES
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0135

Introduction and Notes by Dr Claire Seymour, University of Kent at Canterbury. The proverbial phrase 'life's little ironies' was coined by Hardy for his third volume of short stories. These tales and sketches possess all the power of his novels: the wealth of description, the realistic portrayal of the quaint lore of Wessex, the 'Chaucerian' humour and characterisation, the shrewd and critical psychology, the poignant estimate of human nature and the brooding sense of wonder at the essential mystery of life. The tales which make up Life's ...

(P/B) THE WELL-BELOVED WITH THE PURSUIT OF THE WELL-BELOVED
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0091

The Well-Beloved completes the cycle of Hardy's great novels, reiterating his favourite themes of man's eternal quest for perfection in both love and art, and the suffering that ensues. Jocelyn Pierston, celebrated sculptor, tries to create an image of his ideal woman - his imaginary Well-Beloved - in stone, just as he tries to find her in the flesh. Powerful symbolism marks this romantic fantasy that Hardy has grounded firmly in reality with a characteristically authentic rendering of location, the Isle of Slingers, or Portland as we know...

(P/B) JUDE THE OBSCURE

(P/B) A LAODICEAN
OR THE CASTLE OF THE DE STANCYS
Εκδότης: PENGUIN
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-2126

A Laodicean draws deeply on Hardy's personal experience: his early life as an architect, his frustration in love and his ambivalence about theology and the modern age. The daughter of a wealthy railway magnate, Paula Power inherits De Stancy Castle, an ancient castle in need of modernization. She commissions George Somerset, a young architect, to undertake the work. Somerset falls in love with Paula but she, the Laodicean of the title, is torn between his admiration and that of Captain De Stancy, whose old-world romanticism contrasts with ...

(P/B) THE WOODLANDERS
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0137

Educated beyond her station, Grace Melbury returns to the woodland village of little Hintock and cannot marry her intended, Giles Winterborne. Her alternative choice proves disastrous, and in a moving tale that has vibrant characters, many humorous moments and genuine pathos coupled with tragic irony, Hardy eschews a happy ending. With characteristic derision, he exposes the cruel indifference of the archaic legal system off his day, and shows the tragic consequences of untimely adherence to futile social and religious proprieties. (From t...

(P/B) THE RETURN OF THE NATIVE
Εκδότης: WORDSWORTH
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4655-0134

With an Introduction and Notes by Claire Seymour, University of Kent at Canterbury. The Return of the Native is widely recognised as the most representative of Hardy's Wessex novels. He evokes the dismal presence and menacing beauty of Egdon Heath - reaching out to touch the lives and fate of all who dwell on it. The central figure is Clym Yeobright, the returning ‘native’ and the story tells of his love for the beautiful but capricious Eustacia Vye. As the narrative unfolds and character after character is driven to self-destruction the p...

ΤΖΟΥΝΤ Ο ΑΦΑΝΗΣ
Εκδότης: ΝΕΦΕΛΗ
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2990-0224

Η Πόλη της μάθησης είχε μια απόμακρη όψη κι εκείνος είχε χάσει κάθε συναίσθημα απέναντί της. Όμως καθώς ο ήλιος έριχνε το ζωηρό του φως φτιάχνοντας σκιές πάνω στη γοτθική αρχιτεκτονική των προσόψεων και ζωγράφιζε τα σχέδια των ερειπωμένων επάλξεων στο φρέσκο γρασίδι μέσα στις αυλές των κολεγίων, ο Τζουντ σκέφτηκε ότι δεν είχε ποτέ ξαναδεί την πόλη τόσο όμορφη. Πήγε στο δρόμο όπου είχε πρωτοαντικρύσει τη Σου. Η καρέκλα της βρισκόταν ακριβώς στο ίδιο σημείο αδειανή. Ήταν σαν εκείνη να 'χε πεθάνει και κανείς να μην ήταν ικανός να τη διαδεχτεί...
