Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. Bathsheba Everdene is a self-willed and independent young woman who inherits her uncle's farm. An assertive and confident nature in a woman is a novelty in the rural parish of Weatherbury and Bathsheba soon attracts three very different admirers. The only other book I've read by Thomas Hardy is Tess of the D'Urbervilles which I enjoyed because Tess was a well-rounded female character which I feel is a rare find in most books.

Bathsheba too, is a well developed character and the reader gets to know her intimately as she comes of age in this sometimes funny and other times tragic love story. Hardy is prone to waffling especially when describing architecture or milieus so the reader must be patient. The first half of the book is quite slow and I was tempted to give up on the book but the second half more than makes up for it.
Far from the Madding Crowd (Signet Classics) [Thomas Hardy, Suzanne Keen] on donnsboatshop.com *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. After an unfortunate. Thomas Hardy was born on June 2, In his writing, he immortalized the site of his birth—Egdon Heath, in Dorset, near Dorchester. Delicate as a child.
The second half is tense and builds up to an unexpected violent scene and while the ending is predictable it is also satisfying. I recommend this book to those who enjoyed Tess of the D'Urbervilles. This is not a review of the story. Hardy is one of my favorite authors, and this story is ranked very high in my list of go-to re-reads. But the editing that went into the digital version of this classic is truly terrible.
There are typos, and misspellings, missing punctuation and spacing.

For three whole pages, I was baffled beyond words at the repeated use of the completely out-of-context word "toad", until I realized the word was supposed to be "road". At several points, it felt like entire sentences were missing from the story, and several sentences ended so abruptly, I am almost positive there is more to it than what was printed on the page. Never have I been so disappointed with a digital rendering of a complete work. There were so many unforgiveable mistakes, that there were days I could not even read the book, as much as I love the story.
Whoever edited this should be ashamed of themselves.
Far From the Maddening Crowd
As soon as I arrived home I picked up my newly ordered edition of the Hardy novel which began his splendid Wessex series set in rural southwest England. I have read the book too many times to count but enjoy each perusal more than the last. This Oxford edition features excellent footnotes and an erudite introduction. The plot is well known to students of English literature. The fetchingly beautiful and romantically inconstant Bathsheba Everdene has inherited a sheep farm from her deceased uncle.
She is a young woman who seeks to amaze the farmhands chapters dealing with them remind us of Shakespeare's use of rude mechanicals. They act as a chorus to comment on the main action of the complex plotting.
Attractive edition of Hardy's classic. Some light marking to cover gilt. Buy with confidence, excellent customer service! East Dane Designer Men's Fashion. Please try again later. It turns out he ends up getting employed by Bathsheba to be the shepherd. New York, New York:
The novel is rich in biblical allusions. Gabriel Oak is Bathsheba's firs love. He is one of the purest and best characters in all of English fiction; strong as an oak; faithful as his sheepdog George and as watchful of Bathsheba as Gabriel the archangel of God. Sergeant Troy is the soldier in British red who steals Bathsheba's hear for a time until his affair with the hapless and hopeless Fanny Day is revealed in all its stark tragedy.
