«Dos en una torre» is the novel by Thomas Hardy published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (416 pages, in Spanish).
Lady Constantine, weary of her husband's absence, meets Swithin St Cleeve in a tower on her estate: a young man ten years her junior, of humble origins and a student of astronomy. A secret romance arises that clashes with Victorian conventions: while he observes the universe, she wavers between desire and the rules of her era.
Translation by Miguel Ángel Pérez Pérez of the original 'Two on a Tower'; edition published in 2019.
For readers of nineteenth-century classic fiction and romance novels with social criticism.
Thomas Hardy was an English novelist, poet and architect. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, including the poetry of William Wordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain such as those from his native South West England.
