Oxford Bookworms 3. The Three Strangers and Other Stories MP3 Pack

Resumen del libro

On a stormy winter night, a stranger knocks at the door of a shepherd's cottage.
He is cold and hungry, and wants to get out of the rain.
He is welcomed inside, but he does not give his name or his business.
Who is he, and where has he come from? And he is only the first visitor to call at the cottage that night .
.
.
In these three short stories, Thomas Hardy gives us pictures of the lives of shepherds and hangmen, dukes and teachers.
But rich or poor, young or old, they all have the same feelings of fear, hope, love, jealousy .

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.
