In my opinion, it is worth buying. The Poldark novels are rich in historical detail and complex characters. The DVD set will likely do a great job of translating that onto the screen. It can be a great way to experience the story over and over again, especially if you love the world of Poldark. You can also share it with friends and family who might be interested in the story.
You can try looking for it in large bookstores. Some of them also sell related DVDs. Another option is to check online marketplaces like Amazon. They usually have a wide range of products and might have the dvd set of Poldark novels you're looking for.
It's hard to give an exact number. But a significant portion of the Poldark novels are indeed set in the 19th century, contributing to their historical charm.
The Poldark novels are predominantly set in the northern and western sections of the Cornish coast. These areas offer the dramatic landscapes and historical settings that play a significant role in the storylines.
I think 'Ross Poldark' is very popular. It has a strong hero in Ross, and the vivid descriptions of the Cornish landscape and the mining community are really appealing.
The Poldark novels are fiction. They are set in Cornwall during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, which gives them a historical backdrop. However, the main plotlines, the relationships between the characters like Ross Poldark and Demelza, are fictional constructs. The author, Winston Graham, used his knowledge of the time period to create a vivid fictional world that has elements of the real Cornwall at that time, but overall it is a work of fiction.
