Avis de l'équipe
With its lush landscapes and provincial old-world lifestyle, Thomas Hardy’s fictional borough of Wessex suggests the hidden magic and adventurous lure of the English countryside : It is the England of Chaucer’s pilgrims, or what E. M. Forster called "the greenery" - a mythic landscape of boundless possibility. Recited in Walter Zimmerman’s lilting baritone, "The Three Strangers" serves as a pastoral history for the Wessex area. Hardy’s short tale is almost like an allegory - perhaps passed down orally - and Zimmerman captures the wistful folksiness of the storyteller, relating the parable of a traveler wrongfully convicted of theft. As the townspeople realize their error in judgment, the true criminal begins to elicit sympathy among the country-folk, calling into question the very nature of crime and justice.
