Sinossi

Hardy has presented a poignant love-story in The Trumpet-Major. In the backdrop of Napoleonic Wars, this narrative of desire and sacrifice unfolds and captivates the readers. The female protagonist is being pursued by three suitors. It is the amalgamation of the tug-of-war between them and violence in the background that's unique. Marvellous!

Informazioni sull?autore

Thomas Hardy was born in Dorset in 1840 and became an apprentice architect at the age of sixteen. He spent his twenties in London, where he wrote his first poems. In 1867 Hardy returned to his native Dorset, whose rugged landscape was a great source of inspiration for his writing. Between 1871 and 1897 he wrote fourteen novels, including Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure. This final work was received savagely; thereafter Hardy turned away from novels and spent the last thirty year of his life focusing on poetry. He died in 1928.
