Jane Eyre probably my most favorite, but Wuthering Heights is one of a kind. In a similar category, I would include North and South by Gaskell, and Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Far From the Madding Crowd by Hardy. I liked these better than the Austen books as well. I prefer Jane Eyre followed by Persuasion then P&P.
Há 2 dias · Emma’s death in 1912 deeply affected Hardy, and he felt guilty for not being able to provide her with the life she wanted. Many believe that this guilt and grief inspired some of his later works, such as “Jude the Obscure” and “Tess of the d’Urbervilles”, which explore themes of love, loss, and societal expectations.
Há 3 dias · I recommend ‘Godan’ and ‘Gaban’ from Premchand and his short stories ‘Idgaah’ and ‘Bade ghar ki bahu’. From Hardy, do read ‘Tess of the D’urbervilles’ and ‘Return of the Native’. Another absolute favorite in short stories in Chandradhar Sharma Guleri’s ‘Usne kaha tha’.
