This edition, translated by Quim Monzó, presents the story of Jude Fawley, a working-class young man with intellectual aspirations who is trapped by social conventions and the limitations of his environment. The novel explores themes such as ambition, love, social class, and the hypocrisy of Victorian society, offering a critical look at the institutions and norms of the time.
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.
