About Product

The Mayor of Casterbridge (Ubspd's World Classics) is written by Thomas Hardy, who is regarded as one of the most famous writers of the English language. The story begins with an astonishing scene that shows a drunken Michael Henchard standing in a county fair, selling his pretty wife and daughter to a sailor who is passing by. While the readers are introduced to the story with a not - so - happy start, the end of the book is filled with surprising discoveries that are completely opposite to the atmosphere set by the beginning. What makes the story so engaging is the fact it is totally rooted in the real cases of wife - selling that used to occur in England in the early 19th century. By weaving a fictional story into this real - life one, Hardy has created a Sophoclean drama that reeks of revenge and guilt. Readers will find that the strong - willed Henchard symbolises a rags to riches tale through wife - selling, but it also causes his bitter downfall. Henchard, in his pride and obsession, only paves the way for his own destruction. Coming from the pen of an author who maps emotional landscapes in his novels ever so intricately, the Mayor of Casterbridge (Ubspd's World Classics) was published by UBS Publishers Distributors Private Ltd. iT is available as a paperback.
