Thomas Hardy`s richly evocative novel opens with the arrival of Bathsheba in the village of Weatherbury to work the large, dilapidated farm that is her inheritance. The plot turns on her sentimental education, her infatuation for Sergeant Troy, a dazzling young cavalry officer, and her relationship with the shepherd-farmer, Gabriel Oak. Gabriel`s strong presence permeates a drama of temptation, treachery and passion in which Bathsheba achieves a painful but necessary self-knowledge. Although Hardy`s familiar themes of betrayal and the pain of love are present in this novel, it is also one of the warmest, most humorous of Hardy`s works. Referred to by Ronald Blythe as "all morning brightness, inspiration and possibility", it is,...

For many people watching football is mere entertainment; to some it`s more like a ritual; but to others, its highs and lows provide a narrative to life itself. For Nick Hornby his devotion to the game has provided one of the few constants in a life where the meaningful things - like growing up, leaving home and forming relationships, both parental and romantic - have rarely been as simple or as uncomplicated as his love for Arsenal. Brimming with wit and honesty, "Fever Pitch" catches perfectly what it really means to be a football fan - and in doing so, what it means to be a man.
