Thomas Hardy
The Mayor of Casterbridge
Paperback
(Independently published July 26, 2019)
Hardy's superbly written tale is an ultimately tragic affair that begins with the novel's central character auctioning off his wife and young daughter in a fit of drunken irritation. He later becomes Mayor of Casterbridge, but doesn't reveal his guilty secret and is in for some unpleasant surprises.. With several intriguing romantic subplots set against the charming backdrop of rural nineteenth century England, the novel is a joy to read. Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's modern readers as it would have been when first published well over 100 years ago, the novel is one of the great works of English literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world.This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text and is beautifully illustrated with a number of atmospheric historical paintings that reflect the mood of the novel.
