A believer and an unbeliever, a socialist and a snob, an unhappy husband and a desolate widower, Hardy challenged the sexual and religious conventions of his time in his novels and then abandoned fiction to reestablish himself as a great twentieth-century lyric poet. In this acclaimed new biography, Claire Tomalin, one of today's preeminent literary biographers, investigates this beloved writer and reveals a figure as rich and complex as his tremendous legacy.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62249619980675,"sku":"9780143112877","price":29.44,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780143112877.jpg?v=1785416487","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/thomas-hardy-9780143112877","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
