    Far from the Madding Crowd & The Return of the Native , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1682min
    Far from the Madding Crowd is Thomas Hardy's fourth novel. It centers on the lives of five characters: Gabriel Oak, Bathsheba Everdene, Mr Boldwood, Sgt. Troy, and Fanny Robin. The plot involves love, loyalty, death, and betrayal, and all this is delivered to us in Hardy's most eloquent prose. The images of character and nature are painted for our mind's eye with sublime style. The Return of the Native (1878) is one of Hardy's most popular novels. Set on the brooding Egdon heath, it traces the lives and loves of five people. Clym Yeobright, the native, returns to Egdon from a successful career in Paris to pursue a dream of educating the poorer local people. Eustacia Vye, a young woman unhappy with life on Egdon, wishes for love and life in a city. Damon Wildeve, an innkeeper and ex-engineer, is a young womanizer. Thomasin Yeobright, a cousin of Clym, is a simple country girl. And finally, the mysterious but faithful reddleman, Diggory Venn. When the lives of these people become intertwined, we see all sides of human nature - good and bad. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tadhg Hynes.

    Far from the Madding Crowd , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 805min
    Exclusively from Audible Hardy's first major literary success, here brought to life by narrator Nathaniel Parker, is the story of the independent and spirited Bathsheba Everdene, who inherits her uncle's farm, the largest estate in the area. She surprises the villagers of Weatherbury by deciding to run it herself rather than hire a manager. Attracted to this bold young woman are three very different suitors all vying for her affections. They include the lonely gentleman-farmer Boldwood, the young and handsome but inconsiderate Sergeant Troy and the faithful shepherd Gabriel Oak. Serving to unsettle and complicate her life, the three contrasting men show the many facets of love. But Bathsheba's indecision and inability to commit leads to some disastrous consequences.
