  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;The quintessential Victorian novelist of unforgettable characters caught in their inescapable fates: with unfailing honesty and lyrical writing, Thomas Hardy captured his heroes' intimate relationship with the natural and social environment. Here are three of his finest works, presented in their entirety. &lt;i&gt;Tess of the Durbervilles&lt;/i&gt; tells the tragic tale of a poor young girl's coming of age and her traumatic relationships with two men: the wealthy and cold Alec D'Urberville and the beautiful, but unforgiving Angel Clare. Michael Henchard, the title character of &lt;i&gt;The Mayor of Casterbridge&lt;/i&gt;, reaches the pinnacles of power-only to lose everything through folly and bad luck. Set in Hardy's beloved Wessex, and always attentive to the struggles of everyday life in the farming community, &lt;i&gt;Far From the Madding Crowd&lt;/i&gt; centers on Bathsheba Everdene and the men who love her. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>
