Mar 12, 2013 Stil de scriitor rated it it was amazing

Thomas Hardy scrie al patrulea său mare roman într-o perioada de început a literaturii engleze, fără să conștientizeze măcar că peste ani, acest roman va fi citit de o întreagă lume. Cartea este văzută ca un joc al destinului, împletind în cuprinsul său mai multe destine umane. Pentru unele personaje, finalul cărții este unul fericit, pentru altele însă, oferă multe surprize dintre cele mai neplăcute.

Jul 30, 2014 Miss Amelia marked it as lost-interest · review of another edition

Ohhhhhhkay

Not really sure why I did it, but I have officially put a Thomas Hardy book back on my to-read shelf, although thanks to a combination of research on my part and the word of trusted sources, I think Far from the Madding Crowd is actually one of Hardy's less-intense novels. Good gracious! I can't even type "happier." I have to settle for "less intense."
