O knihe

""The Mayor of Casterbridge"" is a classic novel written by Thomas Hardy, one of the most prominent authors of English literature. Set in the fictional town of Casterbridge, the story follows the life of Michael Henchard, a complex and tragic character whose impulsive actions shape his destiny. After a night of heavy drinking, Henchard impulsively sells his wife and infant daughter at a fair, an act he deeply regrets. Years later, he becomes a respected and successful businessman and is elected mayor of Casterbridge. However, his past mistakes and the consequences of his impulsive nature continue to haunt him. Exploring themes of fate, redemption, and the destructive power of secrets, Hardy weaves a compelling narrative that delves into the complexities of human nature. The novel offers a vivid portrayal of rural Victorian England, its social dynamics, and the challenges faced by individuals striving for personal and societal transformation.
