Synopsis
Independent and spirited Bathsheba Everdene has come to Weatherbury to take up her position as a farmer on the largest estate in the area. Her bold presence draws three very different suitors: the gentleman-farmer Boldwood, soldier-seducer Sergeant Troy and the devoted shepherd Gabriel Oak. Each, in contrasting ways, unsettles her decisions and complicates her life, and tragedy ensues, threatening the stability of the whole community. The first of his works set in Wessex, Hardy's novel of swift passion and slow courtship is imbued with his evocative descriptions of rural life and landscapes, and with unflinching honesty about sexual relationships.

SYNOPSIS: For Thomas Hardy, the love of man for woman was always the major passion in life. The proud and beautiful Bathsheba Everdene is the greatest and most poignant of his heroines, the love she arouses in three very different men--the patient Gabriel Oak, the possessed Farmer Boldwood and the shameless Sergeant Troy--is of varying kinds. Yet all of them are fiercely lit and greatly changed in its furnace, Bathsheba not least. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 003233
