The fourth of Thomas Hardy's novels, it marked a turning point in his career as his first major success; it was the second novel which he published under his own name (his first two publications were anonymous). In the early 1870s, Leslie Stephens (the father of author Virginia Woolf) was the editor of the Cornhill Magazine, which had a good reputation for publishing literary works. Stephens read Hardy's second novel Under the Greenwood Tree and admired it, so he tracked down the author and asked Hardy if he would be interested in writing a novel to be published in the Cornhill.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You remember the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. In the story a beautiful young woman has to choose between three men: one is too boring and creepy, one is too sexy and sleazy and one is juuuuuuuuust right.Oh, wait. Sorry. That's Far from the Madding Crowd we're talking about. In this novel by Thomas Hardy, we have not a love triangle but a love rectangle, where three different men vie for the love of super-pretty Bathsheba. This all goes down in the English countryside, which is supposed to be all birdies chirping and little lambs frolicking, but because of this insane foursome, devolves into insanity, dead babies, faked deaths and jealous lovers shooting people in the chest.The title of Far from the Madding Crowd suggests that life is way easier once you leave the hustle and bustle of the big city behind and go to find peace in the countryside. Ha! Not with these characters. They're playing head games and drinking cider and dealing with so much internal drama that it's a wonder that their crops get planted or harvested at all.When Thomas Hardy first published Far from the Madding Crowd in 1874, he hadn't yet become the really big deal he'd go on to be. It was Madding, though, that gave him his first widespread success. And it's not hard to see why. This novel is more chock-full of juicy drama than a pretty English farm is full of adorable lambs.Thomas Hardy would eventually become famous for writing super gloomy stories like Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Jude The Obscure. And you definitely get some of that gloom n' doom in Far from the Madding Crowd. But you also get a little bit of happiness in the end, a little hilarity in the middle, and a glimpse of rural England that makes it seem less William Wordsworth -style idyllic and more Deliverance-style creeptastic.Maybe that's why this novel launched Thomas Hardy into the literary big league and inspired four film adaptations: the first in freaking 1915 and the latest due for release in 2015. That's right--this is a novel that's been being adapted to film for one hundred years. Maybe it's because Far from the Madding Crowd is a drama-filled English countryside sex nightmare, or maybe it's just because it contains a bunch of cute moments with baby sheep. You be the judge.This book is fully Annotated and illustrated. It contains all chapter's Summaries their analysis, Characters description their analysis and themes, Glossary for each chapter and Glossary for whole book on the end of the book.

In Thomas Hardy's first major literary success, independent and spirited Bathsheba Everdene has come to Weatherbury to take up her position as a farmer on the largest estate in the area. Her bold presence draws three very different suitors: the gentleman-farmer Boldwood, the soldier-seducer Sergeant Troy, and the devoted shepherd Gabriel Oak.
