A Changed Man and Other Tales offers chance to experience one of England's most atmospheric and heartfelt authors. Known primarily for his novels and poems, Thomas Hardy also wrote a number of short stories, originally published in serial form. The tales in this collection were created over a thirty-year period and embody Hardy's characteristically dark vision of life. "A Changed Man" tells the story of a dashing officer's call to the ministry and the resulting destruction of his marriage. Other stories include "Alicia's Diary, " "Enter a Dragoon, " and "A Mere Interlude." Hardy's beautiful prose perfectly evokes the landscape of Wessex, a fictional stand-in for his beloved home of Dorset, where most of his work is set. Whether you are a confirmed Hardy enthusiast or are looking for an introduction to the author, this collection will be an ideal addition to your bookshelf.
