Livet i den lugna byn Mellstock sätts i gungning när den nya skolmästarinnan Fancy Day anländer. Hon blir genast det romantiska målet för tre av byns män: den rika bonden Shiner, musikern Dick Dewey och kyrkoherden Maybold, även han nyanländ. Deras kamp för hennes hand blir till en bitter fejd och kärleken som uppstår är lika invecklad som passionerad. I grönan skog är en klassisk viktoriansk roman som förmedlar en varm, nostalgisk bild av livet på den engelska landsbygden. I översättning av August Brunius. THOMAS HARDY [1840-1928] var en engelsk poet och författare. Hans verk karakteriseras av realism och kritik av de strikta viktorianska idealen som han menade begränsade människors liv och lycka. Han vann stor framgång med romanen I grönan skog [1872] och fortsatte därefter med succéer som Fjärran från vimlets yra och Tess av d’Ubervilles.ProduktfaktaISBN: 9789180635790Utgivningsdatum: 2022-12-16Språk: SvenskaFörfattare: Thomas HardyFörlag: Modernista
Thomas Hardy, (2 June 1840 - 11 January 1928) was an English novelist and poet. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, especially William Wordsworth.Charles Dickens was another important influence.Like Dickens, he was highly critical of much in Victorian society, though Hardy focused more on a declining rural society. Under the Greenwood Tree: A Rural Painting of the Dutch School is a novel by Thomas Hardy, published anonymously in 1872. It was Hardy's second published novel, the last to be printed without his name, and the first of his great series of Wessex novels. Whilst Hardy originally thought of simply calling it The Mellstock Quire, he settled on a title taken from a song in Shakespeare's As You Like It .The plot concerns the activities of a group of church musicians, the Mellstock parish choir, one of whom, Dick Dewy, becomes romantically entangled with a comely new school mistress, Fancy Day. The novel opens with the fiddlers and singers of the choir-including Dick, his father Reuben Dewy, and grandfather William Dewy-making the rounds in Mellstock village on Christmas Eve. When the little band plays at the schoolhouse, young Dick falls for Fancy at first sight. Dick, smitten, seeks to insinuate himself into her life and affections, but Fancy's beauty has gained her other suitors, including a rich farmer and the new vicar at the parish church. The vicar, Mr. Maybold, informs the choir that he intends Fancy, an accomplished organ player, to replace their traditional musical accompaniment to Sunday services. The tranter and the rest of the band visit the vicar's home to negotiate, but reluctantly give way to the more modern organ. Meanwhile, Dick seems to win Fancy's heart, and she discovers an effective strategem to overcome her father's objection to the potential marriage. After the two are engaged secretly, however, vicar Maybold impetuously asks Fancy to marry him and lead a life of relative affluence; racked by guilt and temptation, she accepts. The next day, however, at a chance meeting with the as-yet-unaware Dick, surprised Maybold learns from him of his engagement to Fancy. The vicar follows by prompting her by letter, while expressing being taken aback by such news, to be honest to Dewy and withdraw her commitment to him if she indeed intended to become married to Maybold. Fancy responds by withdrawing her consent to marry Maybold and asking him to keep her initial acceptance of his proposal forever a secret. Maybold replies by urging her again to be honest with Dick and admit she accepted the vicar despite having already committed herself to the young tranter, assuring her she would be forgiven. However, as she marries Dewy who is so in love he readily dismisses what he previously (rightly) considered exhibits of her fickleness and rejoices at what he perceives at the prospect of a happy union based on honesty, given Fancy's effusive and seemingly frank admission to some (minor) infidelities, while he assumes they would never keep any secrets from each other, she resolves never to disclose the truly incontrovertible and damning evidence against her character in her having so readily accepted Maybold despite her engagement to Dewy. The novel ends with a humorous portrait of Reuben, William, Mr. Day, and the rest of the Mellstock rustics as they celebrate the couple's wedding day. The mood is joyful, but at the end of the final chapter, the reader is reminded that Fancy has married with "a secret she would never tell" (her final flirtation and brief engagement to the vicar). While Under the Greenwood Tree is often seen as Hardy's gentlest and most pastoral novel, this final touch introduces a faint note of melancholy to the conclusion...... | Author: Thomas Hardy | Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | Publication Date: May 24, 2016 | Number of Pages: 94 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 1533431515 | ISBN-13: 9781533431516

\"\"Under The Greenwood Tree Or The Mellstock Quire\"\" is a novel written by Thomas Hardy, published in 1872. The story is set in the fictional village of Mellstock in the English countryside during the mid-19th century. The novel revolves around the Mellstock Quire, a group of village musicians who perform at church services and other events. The main character, Dick Dewy, is a young man who falls in love with Fancy Day, a new schoolteacher in the village. Dick is a member of the Mellstock Quire and his father is the leader of the group. As the story progresses, Dick and Fancy's relationship develops, but they face challenges from a rival suitor and social conventions of the time. The novel explores themes of love, class, and tradition, and is known for its pastoral descriptions of the English countryside. \"\"Under The Greenwood Tree Or The Mellstock Quire\"\" is considered one of Hardy's more lighthearted works, and is often compared to his later, darker novels.William Dewy--otherwise grandfather William--was now about seventy; yet an ardent vitality still preserved a warm and roughened bloom upon his face, which reminded gardeners of the sunny side of a ripe ribstone-pippin; though a narrow strip of forehead, that was protected from the weather by lying above the line of his hat-brim, seemed to belong to some town man, so gentlemanly was its whiteness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Built and owned by the more affluent members of society and perceived as a status symbol, the conservatory derives its name from the Italian term “conservato”, meaning stored or preserved, and Latin “ory”, meaning a place for. The conservatory would appear to have its origins as far back as the days of the Roman Empire when they created structures capable of allowing light in while retaining heat via sheets of mica instead of glass which was not available at the time. Conservatories became more popular in the late 19th century with the traditional conservatory being a large greenhouse used for growing tender and rare plants. Wealthy citizens erected conservatories on their estates and created glass garden rooms in their urban mansions. Many hired botanists to stock their conservatories with tropical plants from around the world. This became a way to cultivate tropical fruits (hence the term "orangery") as orange and lemon trees were brought back during the great Age of Exploration. These garden rooms evolved into elegant spaces in which patrons might enjoy the experience of truly connecting with nature. Regardless if you call it a conservatory or garden room, a beautiful structure that creates a bridge between outdoors and inside will let you have fun relaxing in your own private garden.
