Oxford Bookworms 2. A Stanger at Green Knowe

Resumen del libro

When Ping sees Hanno in the zoo, he is excited, but also unhappy.
Hanno is a magnificent African gorilla, big and black and much stronger than a man.
But how can this wonderful wild animal live in a cage, behind bars and locked doors? Then Hanno escapes from the zoo.
And a few days later his footprints are seen near Green Knowe, the old house deep in the English countryside where Ping is spending his holiday .

Biografía del autor

Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) fue uno de los principales escritores de la Inglaterra victoriana. Sus novelas, entre las que destacan, aparte de "Tess", "El regreso del nativo" y "Jude el Oscuro", están llenas de fuerza y pasión, y suelen contraponer el medio rural con el urbano y al individuo con la sociedad que lo rodea.
