Am grünen Rand der Welt

Hardy's most atmospheric novel, which evokes the rural life of southern England through lyrical depictions of nature. When the proud beauty Bathsheba Everdene moves to a small village in the southwest of England to live with her aunt, she appears exotic. She attracts a number of admirers, including the humble shepherd Gabriel Oak, the wealthy farmer William Boldwood, and the charming soldier Francis Troy. But which one is the right choice? For Thomas Hardy, 1874 marked a literary breakthrough with "Far from the Madding Crowd." This new edition, presented in an attractive special format, features a contemporary translation by Peter Marginter and Roswith Krege-Mayer.
