Far from the Madding Crowd Résumé

Far from the Madding Crowd Thomas Hardy

'Vital, passionate, spirited - from the moment Bathsheba appears she is beguiling' Independent

When Bathsheba Everdean arrives in the small village of Weatherbury she captures the heart of three very different men; Gabriel Oak, a quiet shepherd, the proud, obdurate Farmer Boldwood and dashing, unscrupulous Sergeant Troy. The battle for her affections will have dramatic, tragic and surprising consequences in this classic tale of love and misunderstanding.

Far from the Madding Crowd Avis

Vital, passionate, spirited - from the moment Bathsheba appears she is beguiling. You can denounce her faults - she's selfish and capricious - but it's hard not to admire her determined independence -- Di Speirs (executive producer of readings at the BBC) * Independent *
Hardy's warmest and most enchanting novel * Daily Express *
Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd is the most romantic book I have ever read. I love the line where he says: Whenever you look up, there I shall be - and whenever I look up there will be you. It is very simple and understated, but also incredibly romantic -- Liz Jensen * Independent *
Hardy expounds on his favourite themes: misunderstandings, missed opportunities, unrequited love and fatal omissions * Sunday Times *
The age-old dilemma - mind-blowing passion versus a man who knows how to put up shelves * Independent *

À propos de Thomas Hardy

Thomas Hardy was born on 2 June 1840. His father was a stonemason. He was brought up near Dorchester and trained as an architect.

He also wrote many other novels, poems and short stories. Tess of the D'Urbervilles was published in 1891. His final novel was Jude the Obscure (1895).
