«Les Forestiers» is the novel by Thomas Hardy published by Editions Phébus in paperback (403 pages, in French).
Grace Melbury returns to the wooded hamlet of Little Hintock after her studies; a promise between her father and Giles Winterborne's binds her to him, but she has already known other aspirations. Her attraction to Dr. Edred Fitzpiers places her between the desire to rise socially and her deepest affections, in rural Victorian England.
It was originally published in English as The Woodlanders (1887). The French translation by Antoinette Six appeared in 2009 in the Libretto collection of Phébus.
For readers of classic Victorian novels and rural stories with sentimental conflict.
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.
