John Galsworthy

A 1916 novel by John Galsworthy, a work known for its lyrical style and emotional depth. Set in the English countryside, the story follows a love triangle intertwined with themes of class, morality and sacrifice.

The main characters are a young couple, Frank and Stella Ashurst, who go on holiday to Dartmoor. There, Frank meets Megan, a simple and innocent country girl, and an attraction develops between them. Frank, a romantic and idealist, is torn between his love for Stella, a member of his class, and his strong feelings for Megan, who symbolizes natural, untainted beauty. The titular apple tree, under which the crucial encounter takes place, becomes a symbol of temptation and lost innocence.

Galsworthy explores the inner conflict between social expectations and personal desires, depicting Frank's struggle with his sense of duty to Stella and his passion for Megan. The story unfolds through subtle psychological descriptions and rich depictions of nature, characteristic of Galsworthy's style. Frank's final choice leads to a tragic outcome, leaving the reader with questions about the cost of social conventions and missed opportunities.

The novella is a moving meditation on love, class, and moral dilemmas, told with Galsworthy's usual sensitivity and elegance.

Marina Lewycka

„Kratka povijest traktora na ukrajinskom“ postigla je veliki uspjeh. Priča o lažnoj ukrajinskoj plavuši Valentini, s golemim sisama i beskrupuloznom namjerom da se dokopa britanske putovnice i starčevih funti – oduševila je i kritičare.
