Life's little ironies a set of tales : with some colloquial sketches entitled, A few crusted characters
The proverbial phrase 'life's little ironies' was coined by Hardy for this volume of short stories. These tales and sketches possess all the power of his novels: the wealth of description, the realistic portrayal of the quaint lore of Wessex, the 'Chaucerian' humour and characterization, the shrewd and critical psychology, the poignant estimate of human nature and the brooding sense of wonder at the essential mystery of life. Ranging widely in length and complexity, they are united by Hardy's quintessential irony, embracing both the farcical and the tragic aspects of human existence.

"Avec ces neuf récits à la saveur douce-amère, T. Hardy explore les relations de couple, ses secrets et ses pièges. Il fait l'inventaire des déceptions, des cruautés et des quelques plaisirs, l'inventaire de quelques petites vies."
"Short stories are a perfect way to enjoy and appreciate classic literature in reader-friendly, bite-sized chunks.

""En esta colección, aparecida originariamente en 1894 y revisada en varias ocasiones por el propio autor hasta llegar a una versión definitiva en 1912, Hardy presenta historias de pasión, ambición y engaño en el mundo urbano y rural de finales del siglo XIX, marcado por las restricciones de la vida burguesa y las consideraciones sociales. Son relatos impregnados de lo trágico, lo humorístico y lo insospechado, y hermanados por el carácter irónico y provocador característico de la obra del autor"--Page 4 of cover."
