Far from the Madding Crowd - Thomas Hardy - Mass Market Paperback

Far from the Madding Crowd is perhaps the most pastoral of Hardy's Wessex novels.

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.Hardy, Thomas is the author of 'Far from the Madding Crowd - Thomas Hardy - Mass Market Paperback' with ISBN 9780804901369 and ISBN 0804901368.
