The Withered Arm + CD (Obl1)

Resumen del libro

A woman and a man .
.
.
words of love whispered on a summer night.
Later, there is a child, but no wedding-ring.
And then the man leaves the first woman, finds a younger woman, marries her .
.
.
It's an old story.
Yes, it's an old, old story.
It happens all the time - today, tomorrow, a hundred years ago.
People don't change.
But this story, set among the green hills of southern England, has something different about it.
Perhaps it is only a dream, or perhaps it is magic - a kind of strange dark magic that begins in the world of dreams and phantoms .

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.
