Enjoy Thomas Hardy’s tale of passion, heartbreak, and resilience in this stunning collector’s edition of Far from the Madding Crowd.

As meaningful and relevant today as it was when it was published more than 150 years ago, Far from the Madding Crowd is set in the English countryside and follows Bathsheba Everdene, a fiercely independent woman who captures the hearts of three very different men. With themes of love, pride, and fate, Bathsheba’s journey explores the complexities of human emotion against a vividly drawn rural landscape.

As timeless as the story it holds, this beautiful edition features:

• A foil-stamped cover and spine
• Richly textured design
• Unabridged text
