«Las pequeñas ironías de la vida» is Thomas Hardy's short story collection, published by Navona in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
It collects stories that Hardy published and revised from 1894 to the 1912 version, returning to themes from his major novels: desire, ambition, and deception, in urban and rural settings of the late nineteenth century marked by bourgeois morality and appearances. The blend of the tragic, the humorous, and the unexpected sustains the irony that distinguishes Hardy's narrative.
Translation and prologue by Carlos Mayor. Volume 24 of the Reencuentros collection.
A work for readers of classic fiction and short stories, as well as for those who want to discover Thomas Hardy's short fiction.
Thomas Hardy was an English novelist, poet and architect. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, including the poetry of William Wordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain such as those from his native South West England.
