Die Woodlanders
Als die junge Grace Melbury nach der Schulausbildung heimkehrt aufs Land, ist sie für ihre einstige Liebe, den einfachen Waldarbeiter Giles Winterborne, eine Nummer zu groß. Zudem fühlt sich Grace zu dem feinen Dr. Edred Fitzpiers hingezogen - darin nach Kräften von ihrem Vater unterstützt. Giles beginnt um sie zu kämpfen. Thomas Hardys Roman von 1887, vielgerühmt in seiner englischen Heimat, ist für die deutschen Leser noch zu entdecken. Er schildert eine scheinbar wohlgeordnete kleine Welt, die zwischen leidenschaftlichem Begehren und sozialen Schranken in Aufruhr gerät.- Shop: buecher

The Woodlanders, Hörbuch, Digital, 168min
Grace Melbury, the only daughter of a timber-merchant, arrives home in Little Hintock after an expensive education and her father looks to find a husband for her. There are two rivals for her hand: Giles Winterborne, a good-hearted yeoman and her childhood sweetheart; and Edred Fitzpiers, an ambitious young doctor of good family. Fitzpiers wins her, but the mismatch brings unhappiness not just to the young couple, but to a wider circle in the woodland community. The Woodlanders is one of Hardy's most powerful works and the one he liked best. With brooding sexual undertones, it addresses themes about which the author held strong views: the laws of divorce, the inequalities of society, and the uncertainty of land tenure. Language: English.

The Woodlanders , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 983min
This novel was described as one of Hardys' best and indeed one of the better novels of the latter part of the 19th century. With its publication the author entered into a period of controversy which was to follow him for the rest of his life. Grace Melbury, the timber merchant's daughter, comes back to Little Hintock after some years at finishing school. She was the childhood sweetheart of Giles Winterborne, a compassionate, caring man who works in the village. Melbury senior has promised himself that Grace and Giles will be married to recompense for him taking Giles' father's betrothed many years before. However, Grace is a different woman now, a sophisticated creature, and the suave, knowledgeable local doctor Fitzpiers takes an interest in her. Melbury goes back on his word.... But has Grace changed all that much? And is the doctor the honest professional man he pretends to be? The story is not without flashes of humour, with a rich background of detail and the humanity that characterised Hardy's work, which leads him to question the injustice of the marriage laws in this tale. ungekürzt.
