Sobre este artículo
Macmillan,, 1952. 8vo., with endpaper maps in blue; original series binding of blue buckram, gilt back, red top, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter mildly age-browned at backstrip and fold -ins. Macmillan's Library Edition (1949-1952) uses the large and pleasing type of the definitive Wessex Edition (1912-1931]. It is the most elegant of the post-war collected editions, and it is to be regretted that it does not include the volumes of verse. The endpaper map, 'The Wessex of the Novels and Poems', engraved by Emery Walker, is taken from the drawing made by Hardy himself.
Sinopsis
Jocelyn Pierston, a sculptor of growing fame, is determined to find his ideal in womanhood, a quest that has led to many fruitless encounters. For just as it seems he has found his heart's desire, disillusionment sets in and his burning love turns to ashes. Returning to Portland, his birthplace, he meets young, innocent Avice Caro. They are betrothed until a fateful meeting with the self-assured Marcia Bencomb changes the course of his life yet again. Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher. The Microsoft eBook has a contents page linked to the chapter headings for easy navigation. The Adobe eBook has bookmarks at chapter headings and is printable up to two full copies per year. Both versions are text searchable.
