The Return of the Native
Автор: Thomas Hardy
Год издания: 0000
"O delivery my heart from this fearful gloom and loneliness," prays the passionate Eustacia Vye, who detests her life amid the dreary environs of Egdon Heath. With the return of Clym Yeobright from Paris, her escape for the heath and its brooding isolation appears to be at hand. Clym finds in Eustacia the same dark mystery of his native heath, and his irresistible attraction to them both leads to a clash of idealism and realism.Thomas Hardy's timeless tale of a romantic misalliance embodies his view of character as fate and underscores the tragic nature of ordinary human lives. Despite his grim outlook Hardy charms readers with the warmth and vitality of his characters, his loving portraits of the English countryside, and his realistic re-creations of local dialect. Shakespearean in its intricate plotting and deft irony, The Return of the Native ranks among the author's greatest works.

Hundreds of guidebooks about St. Petersburg begin exactly the same way: «On the 16th of May 1703, Peter the Great… blah blah blah.» Hundreds of marvellous, excellent and comprehensive books… Tell about St. Petersburg like they think they should, like the city’s story is being told for visitors or schoolchildren on an obligatory tour. And at the same time, just like every every city, St. Petersburg has as many different sides as there are passers-by on Nevsky Prospect in the weekend. And in order to get to know a house it is not enough to admire it from the outside – you have to step inside. With the help of this guidebook you will find out about the places that are significant or cult for the Peterburgians. Why are they special? Who knows… Perhaps that’s where the city’s spirit is.
