About this audiobook
"Jude the Obscure" follows the life of Jude Fawley, a working-class young man with dreams of pursuing education at the university. The story delves into themes of class, education, marriage, and the constraints of societal norms. Jude's relentless pursuit of knowledge and his tumultuous relationships, particularly with his cousin Sue Bridehead, highlight the challenges of aspiring for a better life within a rigid Victorian society. Hardy's exploration of the characters' struggles against societal pressures and their ultimate tragic fates makes "Jude the Obscure" a thought-provoking and emotionally charged narrative.
Thomas Hardy's "Tess of the d'Urbervilles,, presents the story of Tess Durbeyfield, a young woman from a poor rural family who discovers her connection to the aristocratic d'Urberville family. The novel examines themes of fate, morality, and the impact of societal expectations on individuals. Tess's tragic journey unfolds as she navigates a series of unfortunate events, including her ill-fated romance with Alec d'Urberville and her complicated relationship with Angel Clare.
"Far From the Madding Crowd" is one of Thomas Hardy's earlier novels, published in 1874. Set in the rural landscape of Wessex, the story revolves around the independent and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene and her interactions with three suitors: the loyal shepherd Gabriel Oak, the wealthy farmer William Boldwood, and the dashing soldier Sergeant Troy. The novel explores themes of love, marriage, and the consequences of impulsive decisions. Bathsheba's journey towards self-discovery and her complexities as a female protagonist ahead of her time make the novel a pioneering work in Victorian literature.
Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy was born in 1840 in Dorchester, Dorset. He enrolled as a student in King’s College, London, but never felt at ease there, seeing himself as socially inferior. This preoccupation with society, particularly the declining rural society, featured heavily in Hardy’s novels, with many of his stories set in the fictional county of Wessex. Since his death in 1928, Hardy has been recognised as a significant poet, influencing The Movement poets in the 1950s and 1960s.
