SINDGAD THE SAILOR

‘You should hear the remarkable story of my life, for I did not come to where I am now without suffering greatly to reach it. I worked hard in my youth and faced many perils. I have travelled the sea several times, each of my journeys stranger than the last. I shall tell you the strangest of these, the voyages which shaped my destiny.’ Sindbad the Sailor has been to sea seven times, and his voyages have always been dangerous. He has met giant men, snakes and birds – and even the Old Man of the Sea. There are some very strange sights to be seen as he sails the world's oceans. Is that a giant whale or a lovely island? Is that a mountain, or – heaven forbid – could it possibly be the egg of a Roc, a bird so huge that it can carry an elephant in its talons?

THJE MAYOR OF CASTERBRIDGE

HARDY, THOMAS

Publié en 2024

Livre
Fiction
Roman

Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy. With an Introduction and Notes by Michael Irwin, Professor of English Literature, University of Kent at Canterbury None of the great Victorian novels is more vivid and readable than The Mayor of Casterbridge. Set in the heart of Hardy's Wessex, the 'partly real, partly dream country' he founded on his native Dorset, it charts the rise and self-induced downfall of a single 'man of character'. The fast-moving and ingeniously contrived narrative is Shakespearian in its tragic force, and features some of the author's most striking episodes and brilliant passages of description.
