Thomas Hardy, 1995, Wordsworth Classics
This novel is considered Thomas Hardy's most pastoral work, set against the backdrop of the ever-changing Wessex countryside. It chronicles the story of Gabriel Oak, a young farmer, and his enduring affection for the spirited Bathsheba Everdene. Her independent nature leads her through trials and ultimately towards genuine love. The narrative also features the charismatic Sergeant Troy, who lives by a philosophy of seizing the moment, and the reserved gentleman farmer Mr. Boldwood, whose initial encounter with Bathsheba evokes a profound sense of vulnerability.
