Far From the Madding Crowd (Cranford Collection Reprint)

5r, Thomas Hardy

Description

Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy is a pastoral novel that explores love, loyalty, and fate in rural England. It follows Bathsheba Everdene, a strong-willed and independent woman who inherits a farm and attracts the attention of three very different suitors: the steady shepherd Gabriel Oak, the prosperous farmer William Boldwood, and the dashing but reckless Sergeant Troy. Through trials of heartbreak, tragedy, and resilience, Bathsheba learns the complexities of love and responsibility, while Hardy’s vivid depiction of the Wessex countryside underscores the themes of nature, chance, and human folly.
