À propos de cet audio

 From its spectacular opening, the astonishing scene in which drunken Michael Henchard sells his wife and daughter to a passing sailor at a country fair, to the breathtaking series of discoveries at its conclusion, The Mayor of Casterbridge claims a unique place among Thomas Hardy's finest and most powerful novels.

Rooted in an actual case of wife-selling in early nineteenth-century England, the story builds into an awesome Sophoclean drama of guilt and revenge, in which the strong, willful Henchard rises to a position of wealth and power, only to achieve a most bitter downfall. Proud, obsessed, ultimately committed to his own destruction, Henchard is, as Albert Guerard has said, "Hardy's Lord Jim...his only tragic hero and one of the greatest tragic heroes in all fiction."

The human condition has not changed much, Hardy captures it like no other. I grew up in Hardy country (Dorset) in the late 70’s schooled in Puddletown … shopping in Dorchester. Passing his statue many times. I now live in Canada… Listening to his books now … bring back so many memories. Awesome to find this books here on Audible,

So many much to lean
