Informazioni su questo libro

"It is a curious thing that every creed promises a paradise which will be absolutely uninhabitable for anyone of civilized taste." When first published, Jude the Obscure (1895), caused a public outcry over its challenging exploration of class and sexual relationships. Its title character, Jude Fawley, is a young lower-class man with dreams of being a scholar, whose hopes of an academic career are dashed when he is trapped into marriage by a woman who later abandons him. Moving to the town of Christminster where he finds work as a stonemason, Jude meets and falls in love with his free-spirited, unconventional cousin, Sue Bridehead. Refusing to marry merely for the sake of religious convention, Jude and Sue decide instead to live together, but they are shunned by society and poverty soon threatens to ruin them, and their lives become a stark indictment of a world that punishes those who dare to live honestly. Thomas Hardy's final novel, Jude the Obscure is both a devastating love story and a fearless critique of Victorian ideals, one of literature's most powerful indictments of the barriers that stand between ordinary people and the lives they long to live. Thomas Hardy (1840–1928) was one of England's most influential novelists and poets, renowned for his vivid portrayals of rural life and the human struggle against social circumstances and constraint. Born in the Dorset hamlet of Higher Bockhampton, Hardy drew lifelong inspiration from the landscapes, dialects, and traditions of the region he later immortalized as Wessex. Although celebrated as an author of fiction, Hardy regarded himself primarily as a poet. His verse, much of it published later in life, blends emotional intensity with a deep awareness of history and the natural world, and was much acclaimed during his lifetime by writers including Siegfried Sassoon, Virginia Woof and W.B. Yeats. Today, Hardy's novels and poetry remain cornerstones of English literature, admired for their lyrical power, psychological depth, and enduring humanity.
