출판사 설명
An Apple Books Classic edition.
In his poignantly romantic novel, Thomas Hardy follows an independent young woman as she navigates love and the cost of freedom in rural England.
When Bathsheba Everdene inherits a farm, she refuses to marry and hand it over to a man. Instead, she runs it herself, making choices both wise and disastrous. Three very different men pursue her: steady Gabriel Oak, wealthy William Boldwood, and dashing Sergeant Troy.
Bathsheba’s decisions shape not just her own fate, but those of everyone around her. Deeply felt and painfully human, Far from the Madding Crowd shows Hardy’s hopeful side, celebrating a woman who insists on choosing her own path.

Best of Hardy
Meaningful, and so very poignant.
Truly classic
The gripping tale of shepherd Gabriel Oak and the beautiful woman he loves, who finally after devastating events sees his worth! The English countryside of the 19th century is poetically described along with its colorful natives. Clear in this work is Thomas Hardy the poet and the architect. A very absorbing read.
Love It
Thomas Hardy is simply a genius. His elegant sense of humor is something to be desired in many authors. His writing is excellent, although a little verbose at times. Far from the madding crowd is just a beautiful story.
