The Return of the Native, by Thomas Hardy's Sixth Published Novel-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Thomas Hardy
Published by Createspace Independent Publishing PlatformPublished since 2016-06-24
The Return of the Native is Thomas Hardy's sixth published novel.
It first appeared in the magazine Belgravia, a publication known for its sensationalism, and was presented in twelve monthly installments from January to December 1878.
Because of the novel's controversial themes, Hardy had some difficulty finding a publisher; reviews, however, though somewhat mixed, were generally positive.
In the twentieth century, The Return of the Native became one of Hardy's most popular novels.The novel takes place entirely in the environs of Egdon Heath, and, with the exception of the epilogue, Aftercourses, covers exactly a year and a day.
The narrative begins on the evening of Guy Fawkes Night as Diggory Venn is slowly crossing the heath with his van, which is being drawn by ponies.
In his van is a passenger.
When darkness falls, the country folk light bonfires on the surrounding hills, emphasising-not for the last time-the pagan spirit of the heath and its denizens.Venn is a reddleman; he travels the country supplying farmers with a red mineral called "reddle," a dialect term for red ochre, that farmers use to mark their sheep.
Although his trade has stained him red from head to foot, underneath his devilish colouring he is a handsome, shrewd, well-meaning young man.
His passenger is a young woman named Thomasin Yeobright, whom Venn is taking home.
Earlier that day, Thomasin had planned to marry Damon Wildeve, a local innkeeper known for his fickleness; however, an inconsistency in the marriage licence delayed the marriage.
Thomasin, in distress, ran after the reddleman's van and asked him to take her home.
Venn himself is in love with Thomasin, and unsuccessfully wooed her a year or two before.
Now, although he believes Wildeve is unworthy of her love, he is so devoted to her that he is willing to help her secure the man of her choice.
At length, Venn reaches Bloom's End, the home of Thomasin's aunt, Mrs.
Yeobright.
She is a good woman, if somewhat proud and inflexible, and she wants the best for Thomasin.
In former months she opposed her niece's choice of husband, and publicly forbade the banns; now, since Thomasin has compromised herself by leaving town with Wildeve and returning unmarried, the best outcome Mrs.
Yeobright can envision is for the postponed marriage to be duly solemnised as soon as possible.
She and Venn both begin working on Wildeve to make sure he keeps his promise to Thomasin.
Wildeve, however, is still preoccupied with Eustacia Vye, an exotically beautiful young woman living with her grandfather in a lonely house on Egdon Heath.
Eustacia is a black-haired, queenly woman, whose Italian father came from Corfu, and who grew up in Budmouth, a fashionable seaside resort.
She holds herself aloof from most of the heathfolk; they, in turn, consider her an oddity, and some even think she's a witch.
She is nothing like Thomasin, who is sweet-natured.
She loathes the heath, yet roams it constantly, carrying a spyglass and an hourglass.
The previous year, she and Wildeve were lovers; however, even during the height of her passion for him, she knew she only loved him because there was no better object available.
When Wildeve broke off the relationship to court Thomasin, Eustacia's interest in him briefly returned.
The two meet on Guy Fawkes night, and Wildeve asks her to run off to America with him.
She demurs.Eustacia drops Wildeve when Mrs.
Yeobright's son Clym, a successful diamond merchant, returns from Paris to his native Egdon Heath.
Although he has no plans to return to Paris or the diamond trade and is, in fact, planning to become a schoolmaster for the rural poor, Eustacia sees him as a way to escape the hated heath and begin a grander, richer existence in a glamorous new location.
With some difficulty, she arranges to meet Clym, and the two soon fall in love.
When Mrs.
Yeobright objects, Clym quarrels with her; later, she quarrels with Eustacia as well........

Published by New Directions PublishingPublished since 2015-07-07
A pioneering, dazzling satire about a biracial black girl from Philadelphia searching for her Jewish father in New York City Oreo is raised by her maternal grandparents in Philadelphia.
Her black mother tours with a theatrical troupe, and her Jewish deadbeat dad disappeared when she was an infant, leaving behind a mysterious note that triggers her quest to find him.
What ensues is a playful, modernized parody of the classical odyssey of Theseus with a feminist twist, immersed in seventies pop culture, and mixing standard English, black vernacular, and Yiddish with wisecracking aplomb.
Oreo, our young hero, navigates the labyrinth of sound studios and brothels and subway tunnels in Manhattan, seeking to claim her birthright while unwittingly experiencing and triggering a mythic journey of self-discovery like no other.

Published by MacmillanPublished since 1997
A remarkable debut by a writer not yet 30, Little tells a story as starkly beautiful and dramatic as the Minnesota landscape where it is set.
The novel opens in 1980, with the funeral of an eight-year-old boy named Little, and moves back in time as members of the boy's extended Native American family tell his story, as well as their own.
What results is a stirring testament to the power of the human spirit in the face of prejudice, poverty, and loss.
