Synopsis

"The Mayor of Casterbridge" is one of Thomas Hardy's most compelling novels, originally published in 1886. Set in the fictitious town of Casterbridge, the story is a tragedy of character, exploring the life of Michael Henchard, a man of strong will and at times, self-destructive tendencies. After impulsively selling his wife and daughter at a fair while under the influence of alcohol, Henchard tries to amend his ways and eventually becomes the mayor of Casterbridge. However, the shadows of his past actions loom large, affecting his relationships and leading to a series of heartrending events. The narrative delves deep into themes of fate, personal responsibility, and the immutable character of a man.
