Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy by� angielskim poet� oraz pisarzem, tworz�cym w nurcie naturalistycznym. Jego tw�rczo�� kojarzy si� z bohaterami, kt�rzy prowadz� zmagania z w�asnymi pasjami, a tak�e r�nymi sytuacjami �yciowymi.
Hardy urodzi� si� drugiego czerwca 1840 roku w Higher Bockhampton, zmar� natomiast jedenastego stycznia 1928 roku w Drochester. Akcja wi�kszo�ci spo�r�d pozycji, kt�re napisa�, toczy si� w hrabstwie Wessex, maj�cym status miejsca na po�y mitycznego. Styl pisarza charakteryzuje si� du�� doz� poetycko�ci, a ca�a tre�� nasycona zosta�a fatalizmem. Zawsze stara� si� stawia� w opozycji do siebie dwie rzeczywisto�ci: miasto i wie�. Jego wie� uderza�a w nostalgiczne tony, przedstawia�a si� jako idylla, do kt�rej zawsze t�skni cz�owiek. Z kolei miasto mia�o si� kojarzy� ze z�em i zepsuciem, przest�pczo�ci�, a co za tym idzie, powolnym rozpadem systemu warto�ci.
Hardy lubi� opisywa� historie postaci, kt�re musia�y si� mierzy� z fatalnym przeznaczeniem. Chocia� tak naprawd� nie by�y one w stanie nic zmieni�, mog�y wykaza� si� daleko id�cym heroizmem. Jedn� z najpopularniejszych powie�ci tego pisarza by�o "Z dala od zgie�ku". Wszystko dzieje si� w dziewi�tnastowiecznej Anglii, gdzie Betsaba Everdene podejmuje decyzj� o zaj�ciu si� gospodarstwem, kt�re otrzyma�a w spadku po wuju. Do siebie stara si� j� przekona� trzech m�czyzn: Gabriel Oak, uczciwy farmer, prowadz�cy rozwi�z�y tryb �ycia Franciszek Troy, b�d�cy sier�antem kr�lewskich dragon�w oraz pewien w�a�ciciel ziemski, William Boldwood.
