In a fit of drunken anger, Michael Henchard sells his wife and baby daughter for five guineas at a country fair. Years later, he becomes a respected and prosperous figure in the town of Casterbridge, yet he is haunted by the shameful secret of his past and a self-destructive personality. Subtitled ‘A Story of a Man of Character,’ Hardy’s powerful study of the heroic but flawed Henchard is a dramatic tale set against the vivid backdrop of a close-knit Dorsetshire town.
