Far from the Madding Crowd

Hardys stimmungsvollster Roman, der das ländliche Leben Südenglands in lyrischen Naturschilderungen beschwört.
Als sie zu ihrer Tante in ein kleines Dorf im Südwesten Englands zieht, wirkt die stolze Schönheit Bathsheba Everdene wie eine Exotin. Sie schart eine Reihe von Verehrern um sich, darunter den bescheidenen Schäfer Gabriel Oak, den wohlhabenden Farmer William Boldwood und den charmanten Soldaten Francis Troy. Doch welcher ist der Richtige?
Am grünen Rand der Welt (engl. Far from the Madding Crowd ) bedeutete für Thomas Hardy 1874 den literarischen Durchbruch
