Jude Nestiutul

De Thomas Hardy

Tanarul Jude - personajul principal al cartii, ucenic zidar, aspira sa devina carturar. Sue, casatorita cu un invatator, urmand sa devina ea insasi invatatoare, isi da seama ca adevarata ei pereche este Jude, la randul lui barbatul unei alte femei. Dincolo de aceasta poveste relativ banala, Thomas Hardy construieste personaje tulburatoare, invinse de fatalitatea conventiilor epocii, dar mai ales sufocate de incapacitatea propriului spirit de a suporta pana la capat implicatiile unei libertati abia intrezarite, insa dorite cu disperare. La aparitie (1896), romanul a fost considerat o pledoarie pentru divort si criticat atat de vehement, incat autorul, ultimul mare prozator al epocii victoriene, a incetat sa mai scrie romane.

Thomas Hardy

Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was an English poet and author who grew up in the British countryside, a setting that was prominent in much of his work as the fictional region named Wessex. Abandoning hopes of an academic future, he began to compose poetry as a young man. After failed attempts of publication, he successfully turned to prose. His major works include Far from the Madding Crowd(1874), Tess of the D’Urbervilles(1891) and Jude the Obscure( 1895), after which he returned to exclusively writing poetry.
