Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Introduction and Notes by Norman Vance, Professor of English, University of Sussex. 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, contriving to make it one of the most English of great English novels. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR000493151

Far From The Madding Crowd
Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. If you?ve ever looked at a peaceful rural landscape and thought, Ah, lovely ? nothing dramatic could possibly happen here , Thomas Hardy would like a quiet word. Preferably while staring meaningfully at the horizon and letting a strong breeze symbolise impending emotional catastrophe. Far From the Madding Crowd (this 1974 Macmillan edition, ISBN 0333168801 ) is Hardy at his most readable and most wickedly observant: a country novel stuffed with big feelings, bad decisions, heroic sheep, and the constant sense that the weather is personally invested in your downfall. Wessex may look idyllic, but it?s basically a stage where passion, pride, and misunderstanding perform nightly, often to the accompaniment of rain. At the centre is Bathsheba Everdene ? one of literature?s great heroines, and the rare Victorian woman who arrives with independence, competence, and the audacity to run a farm. Naturally, this means three men must immediately appear and start making their emotions everyone?s problem. There?s the steadfast, capable Gabriel Oak (the human equivalent of a well-made gate), the respectable William Boldwood (who takes one flirtatious gesture and builds an entire tragic universe around it), and Sergeant Troy (a charming disaster in uniform, armed with a sword and several terrible ideas). Hardy?s genius is that he doesn?t write romance like a warm hug. He writes it like a slow-motion wagon accident: you can see it coming, you want to shout, but you also can?t look away. He?s funny, too ? quietly, dryly, with that rural English sense of irony where people insist they?re being sensible while actively doing the opposite. And then there?s the countryside itself, which Hardy treats as both beautiful and brutally indifferent. The farm work is real, the seasons grind on, and nature keeps going while humans make emotional shipwreck of their lives. There are moments of genuine tenderness, moments of sharp comedy, and moments that make you want to put the book down and have a stern cup of tea. This 1974 edition has that satisfying ?proper book? feel ? the sort of volume you could read by a window on a rainy afternoon, becoming increasingly smug about not being in a Victorian love triangle (until you remember you?ve texted someone something ambiguous and now you?re basically Boldwood). Condition: Good , meaning it?s a solid, readable copy: perfect for curling up with, underlining, and occasionally sighing at. The kind of book that looks respectable on the shelf, then quietly ruins your belief that rural life is calm. Perfect for: classic lit lovers, romance readers with a taste for doom, Hardy devotees, and anyone who enjoys stories where the landscape is gorgeous and the emotions are absolutely not. Sold by Crappy Old Books ? bringing you pastoral England, emotional chaos, and at least one reminder that a single impulsive decision can echo across an entire county. Seller Inventory # 5603
