/ Joseph Conrad / Wordsworth (1993)
Título : | Lord Jim | Tipo de documento: | texto impreso | Autores: | Joseph Conrad, Autor | Editorial: | Wordsworth | Fecha de publicación: | 1993 | Colección: | Wordsworth Classics | Número de páginas: | 261 p. | ISBN/ISSN/DL: | 978-1-85326-037-7 | Idioma : | Inglés (eng) Idioma original : Inglés (eng) | Clasificación: | Inglés:Literatura:Lecturas originales:Narrativa. Novela:Adultos
| Clasificación: | ING(N) BOY boy Novelas en Inglés | Resumen: | First published in 1900, Lord Jim established Conrad as one of the great storytellers of the twentieth century. Set in the Malay Archipelago, the novel not only provides a gripping account of maritime adventure and romance, but also an exotic tale of the East. Its themes also challenge the conventions of nineteenth-century adventure fiction, confirming Conrad's place in literature as one of the first 'modernists' of English letters.
Lord Jim explores the dilemmas of conscience, of moral isolation, of loyalty and betrayal confronting a sensitive individual whose romantic quest for an honourable ideal are tested to the limit. In this novel, Conrad draws on his background as Polish emigré, as well as his first-hand experience as a seaman, to experiment radically with the presentation of human frailty and doubt in the modern world. |

| Clasificación: | ING(N) BOY boy Novelas en Inglés | Resumen: | Widely regarded as one of Edith Wharton's greatest achievements, The Age of Innocence is not only subtly satirical, but also a sometimes dark and disturbing comedy of manners in its exploration of the 'eternal triangle' of love. Set against the backdrop of upper-class New York society during the 1870s, the author's combination of powerful prose combined with a thoroughly researched and meticulous evocation of the manners and style of the period, has delighted readers since the novel's first publication in 1920. |

/ Thomas Hardy / Wordsworth (1992)
Título : | Tees of the d'Ubervilles | Tipo de documento: | texto impreso | Autores: | Thomas Hardy, Autor | Editorial: | Wordsworth | Fecha de publicación: | 1992 | Colección: | Wordsworth Classics | Número de páginas: | 445 p. | ISBN/ISSN/DL: | 978-1-85326-005-6 | Idioma : | Inglés (eng) Idioma original : Inglés (eng) | Clasificación: | Inglés:Literatura:Lecturas originales:Narrativa. Novela:Adultos
| Clasificación: | ING(N) BOY boy Novelas en Inglés | Resumen: | Set in Hardy's Wessex, Tess is a moving novel of hypocrisy and double standards. Its challenging sub-title, A Pure Woman, infuriated critics when the book was first published in 1891, and it was condemned as immoral and pessimistic.
It tells of Tess Durbeyfield, the daughter of a poor and dissipated villager, who learns that she may be descended from the ancient family of d'Urbeville. In her search for respectability her fortunes fluctuate wildly, and the story assumes the proportions of a Greek tragedy. It explores Tess's relationships with two very different men, her struggle against the social mores of the rural Victorian world which she inhabits and the hypocrisy of the age.
In addressing the double standards of the time, Hardy’s masterly evocation of a world which we have lost, provides one of the most compelling stories in the canon of English literature, whose appeal today defies the judgement of Hardy’s contemporary critics. |
