Thomas Hardy Six Pack - Far from the Madding Crowd, The Return of the Native, A Pair of Blue Eyes, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Jude the Obscure and Elegy ... (Illustrated) (Six Pack Classics Book 5)
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was born in Dorsetshire, England, the region that he later called Wessex in his novels.

The precision and orderliness he mastered from his first profession is present in the terse clinical style of his poetry. Because of the adult nature of his themes, Hardy was a controversial writer in his day. His works were often banned and he had difficulty finding a publisher for many of his now classic novels. Thomas Hardy Six Pack present the big five... [Read More]
