Вдали от обезумевшей толпы. В краю лесов
Томаса Гарди называют последним писателем Викторианской эпохи. Своей славой он обязан прежде всего циклу произведений, созданных в 1872–1895 годах, — так называемым романам характера и среды. Широкое признание обрел прежде всего роман «Вдали от обезумевшей толпы» (1874). Гордая, независимая Батшеба Эвердин мечтает о любви. Возможных партий несколько, однако в каждом поклоннике девушка находит изъян — один слишком добропорядочен, другой староват и скучен... Но вскоре появляется щеголеватый красавец-сержант, и на авансцену выходят интрига, тайна, преступление, поруганная честь и, конечно же, настоящая, подлинная страсть. Эта история несколько раз экранизировалась. В декорациях тихой викторианской провинции разворачиваются и события романа «В краю лесов» (1887). Судьба обещает Грейс Мельбери светлое будущее. Она получила образование, миловидна, может составить счастье достойного человека. По крайней мере, так считает её отец, готовый на многое ради своей дочери...

About the author
Thomas Hardy
2,330 books6,781 followersThomas Hardy, OM, was an English author of the naturalist movement, although in several poems he displays elements of the previous romantic and enlightenment periods of literature, such as his fascination with the supernatural. He regarded himself primarily as a poet and composed novels mainly for financial gain.
The bulk of his work, set mainly in the semi-fictional land of Wessex, delineates characters struggling against their passions and circumstances. Hardy's poetry, first published in his 50s, has come to be as well regarded as his novels, especially after The Movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
The term cliffhanger is considered to have originated with Thomas Hardy's serial novel A Pair of Blue Eyes in 1873. In the novel, Hardy chose to leave one of his protagonists, Knight, literally hanging off a cliff staring into the stony eyes of a trilobite embedded in the rock that has been dead for millions of years. This became the archetypal — and literal — cliff-hanger of Victorian prose.
