Descrizione
About The Book: "Life's Little Ironies" is a timeless work celebrated for capturing the essence of a fading rural world and critiquing the repressions of fin-de-siècle bourgeois life. Thomas Hardy's tales and sketches intricately depict Wessex's lore, Chaucerian humor, and shrewd characterizations. The narrative unfolds with a keen eye on details, such as a woman's nut-brown hair intricately woven beneath a black beaver hat. Set against a warm June afternoon in a London suburb, the story follows a young, self-sufficient invalid lady, highlighting the complexity of worlds within worlds in the bustling city. Hardy's rich descriptions and societal observations continue to resonate across generations.
