Sobre IBD

Set on the desolate Egdon Heath, this brooding novel follows the entangled lives of villagers whose desires clash with societal expectations and natural forces. As romantic rivalries and personal ambitions simmer beneath the surface, the return of a former resident upends fragile relationships and awakens old regrets. With its stark landscapes and deeply human conflicts, the story probes themes of fatalism, identity, and the tension between tradition and change in Victorian rural life.'This is the quality Hardy shares with the great writers...this setting behind the small action the terrific action of unfathomed nature.' --D. H. Lawrence
