Product Description
Far from the Madding Crowd is perhaps the most pastoral of Hardy's Wessex novels. It tells the story of the young farmer Gabriel Oak and his love for and pursuit of the elusive Bathsheba Everdene, whose wayward nature leads her to both tragedy and true love. It tells of the dashing Sergeant Troy whose rakish philosophy of life was '...the past was yesterday; never, the day after'. And lastly, of the introverted and reclusive gentleman farmer, Mr Boldwood, whose love fills him with '...a fearful sense of exposure', when he first sets eyes on Bathsheba. The background of this tale is the Wessex countryside in all its moods.

Deeply Moving,

I have developed such an attactment to this book that I find it difficult to put into words just how precious it is. All I can say is, if you have a heart perhaps you'll love it to.

Far From the Madding Crowd,

This review is from: Far from the Madding Crowd (Wordsworth Classics) (Paperback)
This book is wonderful. I don't think anyone writes more beautifully than Hardy, and this particularly descriptive and pastoral novel is so well written, and the language is so elegant. Even if there were no story lines at all in any of Hardy's books, I think they would still be awesome, since the writing is just fantastic. Though there are story lines of course, and though (in my taste) not matching the quality and depth of actual writing, there book is altogether alluring and incredible. Everybody should read it.

If this doesn't make you want to go back in time to the fantasy world of Thomas Hardy then you have no soul!
