The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy

From the stunning opening wife-selling scene (at one time a not uncommon phenomenon in England) to the final playing out his tragedy, Michael Henchard proves to be violent, selfish, greedy and crude. At the same time he possesses magnanimity, humility and a comparison that always pleased Hardy. This 1980 Penguin Books Ltd Paperback is in fair condition. Owner's Name inside. Tanning; spine creased.
