HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics. 'The movements of his mind seemed to tend to
the thought that some power was working against him.' When
Henchard, an out-of-work hay-trusser gets drunk and sells his wife
at a country fair, his life will never be the same. Eighteen years
later, his wife and daughter return to Casterbridge to find that
Henchard has become Mayor. Although he's spent most of his life
attempting to repent for his actions, he remains a rash and
impetuous man. Hardy portrays Henchard as a tragic hero, searching
for love and acceptance from the community around him, posing the
overarching question of whether we shape our own fate, or whether
life deals us an inevitable hand.
