This is a precious documentary for a late beginner. I rediscover now in my later years and appreciate his work very much.

Such feelings of coziness, I would love to visit Bosnia the country of my birth place after relocating as a refugee to the US.. I miss having all the seasons and country side farming.. That place is so pretty and reminds me of Velka Kladusa, BiH 🇧🇦

Thank you for that interesting docu. Can you say who produced the music, please? It was just right, I felt, and did not intrude, as far too much of such music can do!

My favourite writer - a true genius.

I’m with #Leavis- #Tolstoy & #Dostoevsky are smarter than poor Mr Hardy.

​@@aclark903Leavis. 😅😅😅Splenetic Cambridge Don venting his frustrations!

[@silverghost5752]

Absolutely. A great novelist and a great poet. Can't think of many of many English writers equally adept in both fiction and poetry.

[@aclark903]

@@silverghost5752 Hardy is too much of a pessimist to be truly great.

[@silverghost5752]

@@aclark903 I prefer Hardy's hardy pessimism to the jejune beef-and-ale optimism of many of his contemporaries.
