Acerca deste libro electrónico
Lorna Doone, a hallmark of Victorian literature, deftly intertwines romance and adventure against the backdrop of the rugged Exmoor landscape. R. D. Blackmore's narrative is rich with vivid descriptions and colloquial dialect, immersing readers in the 17th-century life of the West Country. The novel explores themes of social class, love, and loyalty through the poignant yet tumultuous relationship between John Ridd, a farmer's son, and the titular Lorna, a noble lady beset by intrigue and hostility. Blackmore's mastery of storytelling is evident in his compelling character development and intricate plotting, which culminate in a gripping tale full of suspense and moral complexity.
Acerca do autor
Richard Doddridge Blackmore, commonly known as R.D. Blackmore, was a significant figure in English literature during the nineteenth century, celebrated for his romanticized depictions of English rural life. Born on June 7, 1825, in Longworth, Oxfordshire, Blackmore achieved most fame through his novel 'Lorna Doone' (1869), a romance set in Exmoor during the 17th century, woven with high adventure and the stark realities of the time. 'Lorna Doone' has become a classic English novel, beloved for its vivid characters, particularly the heroic John Ridd and the tragic yet resilient Lorna Doone. Blackmore's literary style combined detailed observation of nature, a deep familial understanding of the Devon and Exmoor regions, and an innate ability to merge historical contexts with human emotion, all expressed through an evocative Victorian prose that has captivated readers for generations. Blackmore authored several other novels, though none reached the acclaim of 'Lorna Doone'. His works often reflect themes of justice, honor, and the struggle between nature and civilization, reflective of the duality observed in the Victorian era. Blackmore's contributions extend beyond literature; he was an avid gardener and devoted much of his life to fruit cultivation, bringing a pastoral authenticity to his narratives. His background as a lawyer and his interests in agriculture and classics contributed to a rich tapestry of influences that formed his unique literary voice. Largely due to the enduring popularity of 'Lorna Doone', R.D. Blackmore remains a storied name in the annals of English literature.
