Synopsis

Gabriel Oak is an up-and-coming shepherd in the prime of life at twenty-eight years of age. With the savings of a frugal life, he has leased and stocked a sheep-farm. He falls in love with a newcomer eight years younger, Bathsheba Everdene, a proud and somewhat vain young beauty. She comes to like him well enough.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) was an English novelist and poet whose work stands among the central achievements of Victorian and early modern English literature. Born in Dorset, Hardy drew deeply on the landscape, speech, customs, and social pressures of rural southwest England, transforming the region into his fictional Wessex. His novels are known for their close attention to class, courtship, work, marriage, social reputation, and the conflict between individual desire and the forces of circumstance.Hardy's major novels include Far from the Madding Crowd, The Return of the Native, The Mayor of Casterbridge, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, and Jude the Obscure. Although he later turned primarily to poetry, his fiction remains central to the study of nineteenth-century English novels, Victorian literature, rural realism, literary romance, and the development of modern tragic fiction. Far from the Madding Crowd, first published in 1874, was the novel that brought Hardy broad recognition and remains one of his most widely read and admired works.
