He spent his twenties in London, where he wrote his first poems. In 1867 Hardy returned to his native Dorset, whose rugged landscape was a great source of inspiration for his writing. Between 1871 and 1897 he wrote fourteen novels, including \u003ci\u003eTess of the D'Urbervilles\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJude the Obscure\u003c\/i\u003e. This final work was received savagely; thereafter Hardy turned away from novels and spent the last thirty year of his life focusing on poetry. He died in 1928.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWeitere Angaben\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBuch (Paperback), B-format, Englisch, 496 Seiten\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65811620594013,"sku":"K032446146","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8915\/0045\/files\/3244614600001A.jpg?v=1788523764","url":"https:\/\/weltbild.ch\/products\/far-from-the-madding-crowd-thomas-hardy","provider":"Weltbild.ch Bücher \u0026 Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
