Film History

This story opens with a lovely, poor and proud young woman who lives with her aunt. The young woman saves the life of a farmer who subsequently falls in love with her. However, the young woman inherits a fortune and moves away.

On the flip side the farmer loses everything he has and travels around the country seeking employment. One evening the farmer helps to put out a blazing fire in a lonely farm. When the veiled owner comes out to thank him, he discovers that she is none other than the beautiful woman who once rejected him and moved away.

Thomas Hardy was brought up in rural Dorset and was the son of a humble stonemason. He suffered from life long ill health and was schooled at home till he was sixteen. He then trained to be an architect and began writing poetry. He wrote his first novel The Poor Man and The Lady in 1867 but met with little success. Hardy destroyed the manuscript and worked on two others which were published but anonymously. In 1873, he published A Pair of Blue Eyes, to which he put his own name and this book was relatively more successful. In fact the term, “cliff-hanger” which refers to stories in which the reader is left in suspense till the next chapter originated with the book which originally appeared in serial form in a magazine.

Far From the Madding Crowd was Hardy's fourth novel and gave him his first taste of literary and commercial success. It also laid the foundation for several themes that Hardy would continue to use. The concept of Wessex itself was an important Hardy motif in which he contrasts the rural setting against a rapidly industrializing urban England. In many of his novels, his characters are unable to stem the flow of events. The effects of overwhelming passion, women's rights, society's constraints and demands which clash with individual wants and desires, are some of the themes explored in his work.

The beautiful and proud Bathsheba Everdene, Gabriel Oak, the man who loves her, the rich, lonely and strait laced William Boldwood, the dashing and debonair Sergeant Troy, the tragic Fanny Robin are all memorable characters who make Far From the Madding Crowd an absorbing and thought provoking read.

Welcome to Pulling Corks & Forks, the podcast! I'm your host, Sandy Wasserman. 

If you've been following my blog, you know that I've been in & around the Phoenix food scene for over 25 years. My beat is food and wine, and where to get the best of both in The Valley of the Sun. 

I moved to Scottsdale from New Jersey back in the 90's, seeking warm weather, a laid back lifestyle, and great food...so I went to work in the restaurant industry!  The food-and-wine bug bit me way before it was cool and trendy. That's why I started the Pulling Corks & Forks blog, with all the news in food. 

But this podcast will pick up where the blog leaves off. This isn't just news, reviews, and recommendations, this show goes way beyond the what-and-where of eating-and-drinking .

We'll peel back the layers of our local food scene, break bread with the food artists who make it all happen, and hear how-and-why these incredibly talented people do what they do. We'll visit with chefs, growers, experts of all kinds - and people like you and me, who just love to eat!, so pull up a chair and join us at the table!

Treasures from Malta is a new podcast series produced by Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti (FPM). Hosted and presented by Francesca Balzan, art historian and artist with a long connection with FPM, each podcast episode consists of individual interviews. We’re getting away from old artefacts in glass showcases and we’re going into the homes and meeting up with some of Malta’s living treasures. We dig below the surface and find out more about them. These treasures are artists, historians, art collectors, performers and arts practitioners with some Malta connection…they’re all fair game for the pod and we want to share them with you. Images and links relating to each episode are in the episode notes here: https://www.patrimonju.org/fpm-podcasts

Aliza and Marissa are two Creative Writing Grads from Pratt Institute who LOVE books! Pratt gave us years of experience discussing books and being able to really identify the things we like or don't like. Our goal each week is not to find super amazing books we absolutely love, although that would be a nice treat. Our goal is to present new books to our listeners (and oftentimes ourselves) that they may not have had the opportunity to know about. Of course, we will throw in popular titles sometimes and keep up with the trends, because at the end of the day, we really just want to talk about Books! So join us weekly to discuss two new titles, maybe you'll discover something new, or maybe we will open your mind about an old favorite, either way we would love to have you!
