Inhaltsangabe

The novel takes place entirely in the environs of Egdon Heath, and, with the exception of the epilogue, covers exactly a year and a day. The narrative begins on the evening of Guy Fawkes Night as Diggory Venn drives slowly across the heath, carrying a hidden passenger in the back of his van. When darkness falls, the country folk light bonfires on the surrounding hills, emphasizing-not for the last time-the pagan spirit of the heath and its denizens.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was an English novelist and poet whose works are closely associated with the Wessex region of England. His novels explore themes of social constraint, personal desire, and the influence of environment on human life. Hardy is regarded as a central figure in nineteenth-century English literature, with works such as Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Far from the Madding Crowd, and Jude the Obscure forming a lasting part of the literary canon.
