Evangeline, Traduit de l'anglais de Longfellow (French Edition)

Harold Brighouse's Hepplestall is a play of pithy observations and witticisms. It is a very readable book, dealing elegantly with the relationship between sordid reality and a blinkered idealism. The story of a rural village and its inhabitants, Hepplestall's concerns the social changes that came about in England during the early 20th century. It focuses on a family of farmers and community leaders, presenting an intimate portrait of the ways in which their lives are affected by modernization. Hepplestall's is the only Brighouse novel to date that has been met with great enthusiasm by critics and readers alike. Through it, all runs a vein of love for the countryside of England, with its wealth of lore and literature.
