«Far from the Madding Crowd» is the classic novel by Thomas Hardy, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (496 pages, in English).
Set in the fictional countryside of Wessex, it tells the story of Bathsheba Everdene, an independent woman who becomes a farmer and whose love life becomes complicated with three very different suitors. Hardy portrays English rural life and addresses frustrated love, fate, and the advance of industrial society.
The novel was originally published in 1874. This Penguin Classics edition, released in 1979, includes an introduction and notes by Ronald Blythe.
For those who enjoy classic fiction and nineteenth-century English literature; a story with an independent female protagonist and a rural setting.
Thomas Hardy was an English novelist, poet and architect. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, including the poetry of William Wordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain such as those from his native South West England.
