Description: The Mayor Of Casterbridge Or The Life and Death of a Man of Character •••By Thomas Hardy 1922 Harper & Brothers, New York. 1922. Very Good+ no jacket.. The Mayor of Casterbridge, one of Thomas Hardy’s most powerful novels, opens with a scene of shocking heartlessness. In a fit of drunken anger, Michael Henchard sells his wife and baby daughter for five guineas at a country fair. Over the course of the following years, he manages to establish himself as a respected and prosperous pillar of the community of Casterbridge, but behind his success there always lurk the shameful secret of his past and a personality prone to self-destructive pride and temper. Subtitled ‘A Story of a Man of Character’, Hardy’s powerful and sympathetic study of the heroic but deeply flawed Henchard is also an intensely dramatic work, tragically played out against the vivid backdrop of a close-knit Dorsetshire town. Illustrated with Map. Tight, solid with bright, clean, unmarked pages. Size: 5¼” x 8⅙” tall., [xxxii] + 386 pages. Something Old, Something New Something Curious Just for You. Check it out!
