Pequeñas Ironias De La Vida, Las (REENCUENTROS) - Tapa blanda

Originally written in 1894 and revised on various occasions, this collection of short stories by Thomas Hardy brings together many of the themes and concerns he deals with in his best novels, primarily the restrictions of bourgeoisie life and the social norms that dictate it. Tales of passion, ambition, and deception--from a treatise on the pointlessness of marriage to an exploration of how social aspirations can have a negative effect on family and community life--are pulled together by the common thread of irony. At times farcical and at times tragic, "Life's Little Ironies" reflects the humor and satire that permeate Hardy's body of work. "Escrita originalmente en 1894 y revisada en varias ocasiones, esta coleccion de cuentos de Thomas Hardy recoge muchos de los temas y las inquietudes de sus mejores novelas, principalmente las restricciones de la vida burguesa y las reglas sociales que la dictan. Historias de pasion, ambicion y engano--desde un tratado sobre la inutilidad del matrimonio hasta una exploracion de como las aspiraciones sociales pueden tener un efecto negativo en la vida familiar y comunitaria--estan ligadas por el hilo comun de la ironia. A veces absurdo y a veces tragico, "Las pequenas ironias de la vida" refleja el humor y la satira que impregnan la obra de Hardy."
