Beschreibung

Far from the Madding Crowd (1874) is Thomas Hardy's fourth published novel and his first major literary success. It was published on 23 November 1874.
The novel is set in Thomas Hardy's Wessex in rural southwest England, as had been his earlier Under the Greenwood Tree. It deals in themes of love, honour and betrayal, against a backdrop of the seemingly idyllic, but often harsh, realities of a farming community in Victorian England. It describes the life and relationships of Bathsheba Everdene with her lonely neighbour William Boldwood, the faithful shepherd Gabriel Oak, and the thriftless soldier Sergeant Troy.

    Lose Yourself in the Ghostly Glow of a St. Petersburg Summer.
    
    In the ethereal twilight of the Russian "White Nights," a lonely young man—known only as the Dreamer—wanders the deserted streets of St. Petersburg. His solitary existence is suddenly transformed when he saves a young woman, Nastenka, from an unwanted pursuer. Over the course of four hauntingly beautiful nights, the two strangers share their deepest secrets, hopes, and heartbreaks.
    
    Fyodor Dostoevsky's White Nights is a profound exploration of the human heart's capacity for both intense joy and crushing isolation. As the Dreamer emerges from his world of shadows to experience a fleeting brush with real love, Dostoevsky masterfully captures the bittersweet transition from youth to disillusionment.
    
    This definitive edition presents one of Dostoevsky's most lyrical and accessible works. Subtitled "A Sentimental Story from the Diary of a Dreamer," this novella remains a timeless meditation on the beauty of a single moment of happiness and the enduring power of memory.
    
    Experience the magic of the midnight sun. Buy "White Nights" today and discover the soul of Russian literature.

    Harry Sinclair Lewis was born on 7th February 1885 in the village of Sauk Centre, Minnesota. 
    Childhood was lonely. He was ungainly looking—red-headed, tall, overly thin, stricken with acne and somewhat pop-eyed—making friends and meeting girls were difficult for him. At 13 he unsuccessfully absconded from home in an attempt to become a drummer boy in the Spanish-American War. 
    In late 1902 Lewis left home for the Oberlin Academy in preparation for Yale University. At Oberlin, he developed a religious enthusiasm that ebbed and flowed for his remaining teenage years. The following year he was at Yale but did not receive his degree until 1908, having taken time off to work at Upton Sinclair's cooperative-living colony in Englewood, New Jersey, and to travel to Panama.  
    Lewis's earliest published creative work—romantic poetry and short sketches—appeared in some Yale magazines, one of which he later became editor of. After graduation Lewis moved location and jobs several times trying to make ends meet whilst writing fiction for publication.  
    In working for newspapers and publishing houses he developed a knack for churning out short stories for magazines. He also earned money by selling plots to Jack London. 
    Lewis first published  ‘Hike and the Aeroplane’ in 1912 under a pseudonym. A couple of years later his books were rather more serious in tone and by 1930 he was the first American author to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was awarded "for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humor, new types of characters."  
    Amongst his classics which changed the shape of American fiction were ‘Main Street’, ‘Babbitt’, ‘Arrowsmith’ (for which he received but declined the 1926 Pulitzer Prize), ‘Elmer Gantry’, ‘Dodsworth’ and his prediction of a US fascist dictator in ‘It Can’t Happen Here.’ 
    As well as novels, he wrote numerous short stories, plays and other articles. 
    Sinclair Lewis died in Rome on 10th January 1951, aged 65, from advanced alcoholism.

    The pedigrees of our county families, arranged in diagrams on the pages of county histories, mostly appear at first sight to be as barren of any touch of nature as a table of logarithms. But given a clue-the faintest tradition of what went on behind the scenes, and this dryness as of dust may be transformed into a palpitating drama. Out of such pedigrees and supplementary material most of the following stories have arisen and taken shape. (Summary adapted from the preface)
