Synopsis

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

Perfect for literature lovers and design enthusiasts, this gorgeously crafted volume is more than a book. It’s a keepsake to treasure for years to come. Whether displayed on your shelf or given as a thoughtful gift, Far from the Madding Crowd shines as both a literary masterpiece and a work of art.Essential volumes for the shelves of every classic literature lover, Chartwell Deluxe Editions offer beautifully presented works from some of the most important authors in literary history. Other deluxe classics from Chartwell include Little Women, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, The Essential Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe, The Essential Grimm’s Fairy Tales, Anne of Green Gables, The Inferno, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Republic, The Iliad, Meditations, and Irish Fairy and Folk Tales.
