Far From The Madding Crowd is a novel written by Thomas Hardy, first published in 1874. The story revolves around a young and independent woman named Bathsheba Everdene, who inherits a farm from her uncle and decides to run it herself. Bathsheba is courted by three men: Gabriel Oak, a sheep farmer who becomes her shepherd; William Boldwood, a wealthy and reserved landowner; and Sergeant Francis Troy, a dashing but reckless soldier. As Bathsheba navigates her romantic relationships, she faces challenges and obstacles that test her strength and character. The novel explores themes of love, class, gender roles, and the changing social landscape of rural England in the late 19th century. With its vivid descriptions of the countryside and memorable characters, Far From The Madding Crowd is considered one of Hardy's most enduring works and a classic of English literature.She was the young woman of the night before. Gabriel instantly thought of the hat she had mentioned as having lost in the wind; possibly she had come to look for it. He hastily scanned the ditch and after walking about ten yards along it found the hat among the leaves. Gabriel took it in his hand and returned to his hut. Here he ensconced himself, and peeped through the loophole in the direction of the rider's approach.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
