Informazioni su questo libro

"And at home by the fire, whenever you look up, there I shall be—and whenever I look up, there will be you." Far From the Madding Crowd (1874) was Thomas Hardy's fourth novel and his first major success. Young, spirited, and ambitious, Bathsheba Everdene takes up her position as a farmer on the large estate in Weatherbury she has inherited from her uncle. Being forceful and independent, she makes a success of her new role despite her inexperience, and she attracts the attention of three very different suitors – wealthy gentleman farmer, Boldwood, dashing soldier and carefree womaniser Sergeant Troy, and the quietly devoted shepherd, Gabriel Oak. As Bathsheba navigates love, pride, and the unforgiving rhythms of country life, a series of impulsive choices leads to a tangled web of obsession, betrayal, and tragedy. Set against the backdrop of the seemingly idyllic, but often harsh, realities of a farming community in Victorian England, Far From the Madding Crowd deals in themes of love, honour and betrayal, and examines the struggles of a woman trying to maintain her independence while dealing with the social pressures of being a woman in a man's world. Thomas Hardy (1840–1928) was one of England's most influential novelists and poets, renowned for his vivid portrayals of rural life and the human struggle against social circumstances and constraint. Born in the Dorset hamlet of Higher Bockhampton, Hardy drew lifelong inspiration from the landscapes, dialects, and traditions of the region he later immortalized as Wessex. Although celebrated as an author of fiction, Hardy regarded himself primarily as a poet. His verse, much of it published later in life, blends emotional intensity with a deep awareness of history and the natural world, and was much acclaimed during his lifetime by writers including Siegfried Sassoon, Virginia Woof and W.B. Yeats. Today, Hardy's novels and poetry remain cornerstones of English literature, admired for their lyrical power, psychological depth, and enduring humanity.
