Far from the Madding Crowd / [electronic resource]. by Hardy, Thomas.;

In Thomas Hardy’s first major literary success, independent and spirited Bathsheba Everdene has come to Weatherbury to take up her position as a farmer on the largest estate in the area. Her bold presence draws three very different suitors: the gentleman-farmer Boldwood, the soldier-seducer Sergeant Troy, and the devoted shepherd Gabriel Oak. Each, in contrasting ways, unsettles her decisions and complicates her life, and tragedy ensues, threatening the stability of the whole community. One of his first works set in the semi-fictional region of Wessex, Hardy’s novel of swift passion and slow courtship is imbued with his evocative descriptions of rural life and landscapes, and with unflinching honesty about sexual relationships.Text Difficulty 3 - Text Difficulty 4740Requires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 1995 KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 568 KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 1993 KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 560 KB).
